Far away across the sea

I am here at last. What a long way to fly.I managed to find my way from Heathrow to East Harling ,(well actually Diss ,where Joey picked me up in the car). On a couple of trains and a wait in the Liverpool street station with opera music blaring.
hate to brag but the weather is so sunny and summer here.The sky is very blue and the sun is positively warm!
We do head off to the hospital every day to see Richard .Many hours are passed either talking or reading or just sitting quietly.Although we have managed to play a couple of rounds of Yarniv with Richard. He can manage to walk to the Day room which is for families and friends to chat without the other patients listening and staring..... Well I do stay home sometimes and knit and cook the dinner while Joey and Roxy visit Ricardo. Richard is doing OK . He has good days and bad days and on the better days you can see joeys shoulders rise as her spirit lifts as well.

I have also been on the double decker bus from the hospital into Norwich to go exploring.Up and down many small alleyways and narrow streets to find textile galleries,bridal shops,juice bars,homemade things shop,market stalls selling spices and nuts and seeds etc.,a helpful visitor centre for my hit of postcards,a small supermarket for supplies for dinner,even found a gallery with "ink and spindle" fabric from Melb.

Travelled slightly further afield and found a fabric shop, wool shop and furnishing fabric shop. In amongst Indian food stores and lots of op shops and pawn shops.I think I might have to go back for some money spending next time.
I did find out the hard way that the buses all finish by 6.30 at night so I wandered around for ages to really be sure, even though the hospital is open till 8 for visiting hours. So I had another adventure in a British taxi. Very spacious . Quite pricey as well.

I will sign off now and will write more soon and try for some pics..
