This morning I went out early to take some photos of the streets around here but it was cold and raining so I was quick. I caught the tube to Euston and then the train to Milton Keynes where my cousin ( my father’s sister’s son) and his wife met me. We went back to their home for a cup of tea and chat and chat and more chat. Then we went to a nearby town, Olney, with old houses, old shops and lots of character. We had a lovely lunch, then went to a nice dress shop – she is looking for a dress for their daughter’s wedding –she had no luck but I bought some nice trousers and another white shirt. Then we had a cup of tea and a toasted tea bun – I think that is what it was called. The tea shop was old and I could imagine some of the English detectives in the novels I read when they go to a tea shop in the country. There were all sorts of traditional things but also gluten free cakes were advertised. We walked past a fish and chips shop which advertised that on certain days they had gluten and wheat free batter available.
It was a lovely day – it is really nice to feel on the same wave length as people that I have not seen since 2002 but have talked to and emailed since.
