A great Monday with Kathryn and Mark. Day just doing things. My feet were very poorly, so sat down for most of the day, but many loose ends tied up. Evening spent at the lovely Il Rosso in Mansfield, which was second choice. Set out going to Pizza Hut, but they kept us waiting, and tried to seat us among a very noisy crowd, and when we asked if we could sit somewhere quieter, they told us "no". Customer care and service seems to have passed Pizza Hut Manfield by!!! By the way, guess who led the walk out???? I'm sure you won't need 2 guesses! Anyway, went to Il Rosso, and it was excellent, along with live jazz music. Thank you staff at Pizza Hut for giving us such a great Monday evening - eventually!
Tuesday - morning spend in preparation for France and Belgium trip next week, as has been time this evening. Reading up on Battle of Dunkirk, and also the Normandy Beaches, which we are also visiting. Just about to watch at least one episode of "Birdsong".
Lunch time, and afternoon spent with Bernard, who I worked with 43 years ago when I started at NatWest in Grimsby. Kept in touch through the years, and it is always great to meet up with him. He knows about struggles and suffering ( (his wonderful wife died 12 years ago from cancer). He is a dear friend, and a source of great encouragement to me. Gave me words of wisdom about my future.
