How Time Flies!

I can hardly believe that it is now way more than two weeks since I returned from England - and I have hardly had time to sit at the computer to post a blog! I'm sure you all assumed that no news is good news, and that I had returned safely, even though I hadn't actually reported the fact... All flights were on time, and more importantly, uneventful.
My time away concluded with another pleasant gathering, this time in St. Alban's. I met up with a couple of gals with whom I started at The Abbey in 1954, so there was lots of ground to cover! Good to see you both again, Kay and Gill - and thanks, Gill, for picking me up in Oxford, and dropping me off in St. Alban's after lunch, at Di and John's home. Di and I were on staff together at the Abbey Junior School, the year just before I left for Canada in 1968 - so we go back quite a while! It was a lovely, relaxing visit to round off my time away, and many thanks, Di and John, particularly for getting up early to drive me to Heathrow airport through the challenging M25 Monday morning traffic!
Since my return I seem to have been busy, busy, busy, as I've settled back into my routine, plus been drawn into the decision-making process for the required remediation of the building. The decision to have the work done is now official, and apllication for the government interest-free loan is underway. Apparently it takes some six weeks before approval is given - if it's going to be given! - so it will be at least early July before I hear know what's what....
We have been having some wonderful sunny, warm weather, so I have been making the most of that, with daily walks along the waterfront, plus biking excursions. It's good to be home for a while, and so far I have no definite plans for another trip, as I discovered that grandson Tony's official high school grad ceremony isn't until the end of October! He may come out here for a visit sometime after school finishes, but that will depend on summer work plans at the Golden Arches...!
If he does come, I shall look forward to having a personal computer coach on hand, and - who knows? - one of these days, there might even be some pictures for you to view on this page. Perhaps on Facebook too - but time will tell, so don't hold your breath!
Apart from that possible development, please consider this, oh faithful reader, the official conclusion of this chapter of the blog (but check back once in a while in case a new chapter begins!).
