My Mum is now 92 and we took her out for her birthday to the  Ramsay\u2019s River Restaurant at the Savoy. For once, no-one ordered the same as anyone else. A thoroughly enjoyable day, coupled with some London uniqueness and a long conversation with Ramsay\u2019s right-hand man. We had a death in the family so I\u2019ve been to see Mum twice this month and intend to, with the thought of mortality upon us, visit Mum twice a month from now on, so that the upheaval and break from routine doesn\u2019t stress us out any longer. Whilst travelling through London the first time, I encountered a rail replacement service and attempted a time lapse of the bus route but sadly, Apple has let me down with their time lapse files by only allowing 30 seconds of video regardless of the length of recording. On the way back to London first time, someone dropped something that I was unable to place into lost property, a \u2018consumable\u2019 so I consumed it ;). Belgrave Hall is being prepped for sale so the gardening volunteering I have been doing since the end of the pandemic is coming to an end; the new role is not conducive to my travelling style. So we had a get together at one of our younger\u2019s gardeners houses for a nice spread, chat and drinky-poos. I\u2019ve started to get ahead of the allotment for this year, interspersed with my BSL practice and looking at the Elephants in Leicester. the weather has been interesting- a drought finally came to an end producing some interesting results on hot days with sudden downpours. What with enrolling for BSL Level 2, travelling to London more often and applying for a job, 2025\/26 is going to be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
