I'd felt dissapointed that Jayne did not come down or up on Friday even though I had predicted that she wouldn't come I still felt upset and hurt. Since the girls had their babies they are her entire world. She lives with them alternately, either by them sharing her bed in her home or her visiting them and sharing their bed in their homes. She never ever spends a night alone or cooks dinner just for herself. I see my boys about once a month may be a little more and may be a little less and I am not saying its ideal but due to distance and stuff and anyway it suits them but I wonder how she would cope. She would hate it and I guess her life will be very different from mine in continuing ways. Have to get used to the fact that another chapter has closed.
Once I got over the fidgety feel the weekend was fine. In fact it was more than fine it was like a little holiday. We eventually went out on Saturday and visited a Raptor centre and watched a display of birds of prey which was pretty good. The falcons and other birds were amazing and its lovely and awe inspiring to see them up close, made me feel quite emotional.
We followed this by a short trip and quick walk around St Ives and looked at the river. Lots of people were enjoying this first real warm weekend by sitting by the river and enjoying a drink. It was all very pleasant and civilised and St Ives is a lovely sleepy riverside town with a statue of Oliver Cromwell in the middle.
Yesterday we got the bus to Cambridge and had a wander around the craft market and a nice lunch in the Eagle. Cambridge was lovely with lots of bustle and hustle and music playing outside and the blossom on the trees, gorgeous.
We finished the weekend by doing some long needed housework together.
I felt like I had been on holiday without having to leave my lovely new home.
I must have looked rested as people commented today on how relaxed I looked and had I been on holiday? So it must be doing me good which is also good.
Been reading up on the fens tonight and might target one of our days out over there soon. I am worried this summer is going to whizz by and I almost resent having to leave home to visit other people. I have already put off a visit to Christine and John and the Whitings and of course different friends and family and can't keep putting people off. I expect the novelty of living here will wane but I want to enjoy it whilst the weather is lovely. Also got two weekends away when I take me mother on holiday...boo hoo.
