Had a wonderful day. Well it would have been perfect if C was home and with us.
Went down to the south coast in the glorious weather, and limped around one of the ancient cinque ports which was the Elizabethan town where my aunt used to live, and then down to Dungeness and another lurch this time along the shore in the shadow of the grim nuclear power station. Took lots of photos including one of Derek Jarman's former home with it's eclectic garden, and more of the quaint narrow gauge railway and the whole place looks like something out of the outback and not England. Lovely lunch including delightful fish, which is a must when visiting the seaside, and now home for goulash and new potatoes.
Bizarrely all aircraft flights have now been grounded over the UK for two days as there has been a cloud of volcanic ash hanging over us emanating from an eruption in Iceland. Strange to see the sign on the M25 saying 'Heathrow and Gatwick closed'.
Then had a worrying call from a dear colleague and hopefully her friend will be fine as he has to undergo tests and that's always a worry.
Had fellow soldier's Mum and her son, M, on my mind today as we are both tingling with hope and nervous anticipation that maybe, just maybe, our boys can actually come home.
Not heard from H. R just gone out looking ravishing in what appeared to be a handkerchief and a pair of tights, 'I'm, like, going out now, bye'. And no news of or from C.
Thank you Lord for your support so far and can you just keep them safe until the tour finishes, please.
Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
