Day 104

Today has probably been the best day since losing Mikey and i have my sisters to thank for that.

Up early to catch the train Jennie on board and saved me a seat. Linda met us at Ely and then on to Soham to Joys. From there we went of to Lakeside, i found it so strange and wished Mikey was still here because we could have met up and that would have been grand. Tim never wanted to go because he hated driving in Essex. We went once and took Mike and Claire out for a meal but never had chance to really shop again Tim doesn't like shopping. Really wish i was a more confident driver and then maybe i would have visited more often. That's easy to say now and far to late. I am sure Mike wished we had visited him more than we did.

I found today so enjoyable and as Lakeside was literally a spit away from where Mikey lived i could see why he preferred living where there was more to do. Shopped and shopped. Linda really struggled with walking and she is so young to be living with crock knees. However, always resourceful she managed to get an M & S shopping trolley and used it all day to lean on through out Lakeside. It was hilarious. Have trolley will travel!! It was over loaded on more than one occasion.
One problem the M25 was closed and we were stuck there a bit longer than we expected and had to find alternative route home. Interesting!! Lots of snow still lying about so they must have had it bad.

We had coffee in strange place but there were lots of seats at least we know why. Not the best of places in Lakeside Pret  a Manger i think it was. Reminded us of Xmas by the name. That was the only similarity!!!!

I'm exhausted we got home about 10 and left at 730 this morning so bed is calling and I'm up early in the morning. Will spend more time here then! Because tomorrow is another day....................
