Monday 18th February
We have had such a lovely day in Hereford. It really is a lovely city and the cathedral is so very impressive. I love the peace that these placces create and Max and I wandered round in awe at the building, the ceiling and the stained glass windows. We managed a few minutes to light candles to remember my dad and the animals that are no longer with us. I have loved this trip with Max. He has shown the world what a beautiful person he is and he deserves the future I have no doubt he will have.
After the Cathedral we went for lunch with Bobby and her friend and the boys went off on their own for a while. I always have to remind Max that there is so much more information to take in in a place like Hereford than on Arran. Thus road crossing and the like need a bit more care. The boys did really well and enjoyed their little bit of freedom.
Lunch for us adults was an organic cafe and was very civilised indeed. I don't get much time like that in my life which is absolutely fine. However, when I do get it I always appreciate it. Home school means you have your children around you a lot more but that is surely part of the plan?
There followed a blissful hour in a local antique centre. I am so moving to Hereford because the antique prices are so low compared to other places I have visited. I could have bought another couple of sewing machines if I could have carried them back to Arran. Maybe another time.... you can never have too many sewing machines.
Temptation resisted we them embarked on a visit to the local garden centre and I was impressed all over again. A garden centre that actually grows its own plants....excellent. We armed Paula with some tumbling tomato and sweet pea seeds to get her underway and Will got a wild strawberry plant. I never miss an opportunity to spread the strawberry word! Paula has photographed her garden and I am going to put together a bit of a short and medium term plan for her so that she can dip her toe in the 'grow your own' passion and see how it feels.
Tomorrow Max and I head home and we have had the best couple of days thanks to Paula and Will. They will be visiting us soon so we can return the favour.
Until tomorrowxx
