I Am Only Making One Post Today,

as I want to keep editing and post the photographs of our holiday, 


Wednesday morning and out into a cold frosty day to visit Duncan, onto the number 54 bus, 

past Peter Pan's Pool,

and heading into Catford, 

but first a delay as there was a driver change, 

just before Catford a nice stand of yellow stemmed bamboo, there is normally a car parked in front of it, 

into Lewisham,

and around the one way system, off at Blackheath and on to the train, 

a change of trains to get from Dartford to Gravesend, 

the willow tree in the pond, 

still has a good few leaves on it,

off of the train and to the bus terminal at Gravesend, 

a 483 bus ride later and I was walking up the hill to the nursing home where Duncan stays,

blue skies, 

as I approached the home, then some bad news, Duncan had been moved to hospital for some tests, apparently his family had been informed, but they had not called me or any of his friends to let them know, again I asked if my telephone number could be added to the list of family, but due to some act/law again I was told I could not be added, so a turn around and home, at least I got to see the snow at Dartford!

still I had some luck, after the bus to the station I caught a through train, so no changing trains at Dartford, on the bus from Blackheath work still continuing on the pavement in Lewisham,

paving slabs had arrived, 

lots of them!

some plants had be planted in the beds opposite Lewisham hospital, but they were pretty obscured by leaves, 

one of the few bus shelters where the bee garden has survived, 

this one looking quite good as it happens,

plenty of lush green growth, 

I stayed on the bus past the park entrance, 

past the green a tree in the way of my photograph of the Christmas tree selling area, 

into Kingfisheries, I was going to pick up a few fish for the aquarium,

in the evening I am going to have to read in quick time, as in our absence 2 copies of Private Eye arrived, 

for tonight a spring vegetable soup, 

'Cheers!', after my meal a Antiques Road Trip, followed by a Midsomer Murder during which Diana arrived home, so feet up for a coffee and chat, as we watched the rest of the Midsomer mystery before we were off to bed.
