What a thoughtful and loving boy.It was an early start this morning. OH left for work around 6.30am and I was in my first Teams meeting at 7am. At around 7.15am, my office door slowly opens and Nathan silently slides toast and a cuppa onto the corner of my desk

So a smile from yesterday 
Every few months I meet up with a group of friends - one a past nursing colleague, we worked together in various settings over the years, another the lovely lady who works in a local library and who I got to know by increasing my use of the library during and after Covid. It turns out her best friend is a cousin to my ex-colleague, she's a retired headmistress who now teaches one day a week , so we have formed this little group of lunching "ladies"
We each live in adjacent market towns on the Welsh Border and take it turns to go to each one - using our bus passes, which adds to the fun and also means we can safely indulge in a glass or two of wine.
It always is such a fun outing - catching up on each others families, work and retirement plans, going over the past , where of course everything was better!
Definitely makes me smile!

Sounds good fun Helen and something to look forward to.
When we are away in the van, if there is a bus stop near to the campsite, we get it and use our bus passes. Never thought we would both enjoy getting the bus but saves a lot of faffing around finding parking. Red enjoys the buses too and it’s lovely seeing people smile when they see her

We're not all single - two have husbands. Very useful they come in too - for transport to and from various hostelrys that are not on said bus route
I know exactly what you mean!
I use the bus these days when I need to go to Hereford, I drive part of the way and leave my car in a village . It saves a bit of fuel and the cost of parking.
