Last Friday I caught the 7.15am train from Brough and met my youngest daughter Kim at King’s Cross at 10 am. It was a very hot, sunny day. From there we went to Borehamwood in the northern suburbs and visited the cemetery where my first daughter Deborah lies. Her short life of just 6 months would have been much longer were she born today.
We tidied her grave, wiped down the stones so that the lettering was visible. At the time of her death, my husband won £60 on the football pools and that was the cost of the grave stone. I’m pleased we bought it. Bulbs still come through in the spring.
We returned to Islington and had a super lunch at Carluccio’s (who by the way is opening in Beverley shortly). Sat by the canal, enjoyed the pigeons in a small park, visited a Japanese friend of Kim’s in her studio and made our way back to King’s Cross where I felt uneasy with the number of people milling around with no police in sight – I am sure they were there. Caught the Hull train at 7ish and arrived home at 9.30pm.
A very full and satisfying day.
