Hand Plucked
After a poor night's sleep we've had yet another busy day. I woke about 5am and was interested to find the local pair of foxes nosing about in the garden again. The grey squirrels have become bolder too, and one came into the dining room today, through the open French windows!
I went food shopping in our local small town of Northwood, this morning. There is a rather wonderful fruit shop there, where I bought a couple of boxes of these delicious (hand plucked, no less!) honey mangoes.
This afternoon we were back at the hospital to see our Aunt. She was all right but just hoping she 'll get her chest catheter procedure tomorrow.
Our journey to the hospital takes us through parts of Harrow where my sister and I spent the first decade of our lives, before moving to Northwood, and we try to look out for familiar landmarks as we drive along unfamiliar new roads and through new housing estates. We both enjoy a blast of nostalgia, despite the unexpected and unwelcome circumstances of our journeys to and from the hospital.
