Not easy! Readjusting after my trip to the UK

 

Oh boy, and this is not just a physical readjustment!  It is also an emotional adjustment!

I really cannot explain my emotional attachment to Mother Britain but there you have it! If I were 10 years younger I would have seriously considered moving across the pond!

Culture?  Yes!  Accessibility?  Yes!  Attitude?  Yes!

Don’t get me wrong!  I love Canada as my home but there is something very special about the good old UK!

Reacquainting with Toronto Airport cabs: Cabs at Toronto's airport

I really do not remember the last time I took a cab from the Toronto Airport but I guess that I was overdue.

It did not matter that it was the day before the Canada Day holiday! I did not have any difficulty with the nice agent finding me a cab.

The driver was pleasant, courteous, and despite the heavy traffic I was home in time for dinner. What a relief.

Yellow is my favourite colour: My new yellow suitcase

 

Oh yes, I will always admit that yellow is my favourite colour! And this is why I asked Jilla to buy me a nice new yellow suitcase on Amazon when I was in the UK.

She is sleek. Her wheels run so very silently and she is ever so easy to maneuver. She will definitely do the trick when I take her on her next journey.

Not sure when but can’t wait to see what others think of her.

My beautiful England! Departing the UK

 

The UK will always hold a very special place in my heart and, for the life of me, I am at my wit’s end to explain this.

I am overly excited when I fly.  I have a super time meeting with Jilla and Angie and with Mary and Yvonne and Steve and my Liverpool family. I simply adore Doug and Ro and their 2 little girls and then there is Kahlua, Jilla’s darling dog.

I love meeting Charmian and Lucy Anne as well, but there is something else! The good old British hospitality and everything about the UK. The food, the ambiance, and OMG what else?

Then the time comes to depart this beautiful country and here is where I have to work very hard to keep my sadness in check. What is it? I may never be able to explain!

She's a lady! Kahlua the gentle dog

 That’s my girl! She's soft and furry!  Gentle and always lets me know whenever she is near. And how does she do this? She walks by and nudges me with her nose.

I play with her in Jilla’s kitchen. Then I sit beside her on the sofa in Jilla’s living room and she lets me pat her gently.

I run my hands down her back, scratch her belly, and talk softly to her.  Not sure if she listens to me but that’s just fine. It’s all about Kahlua forever.

Enjoying a piece of the UK: Sports day with Jilla's family

 What a treat it was for me!  Spending some precious hours with Jilla and her family! Doug, Ro, Rae and Noula!  Then Mo!

The weather was perfect English weather!  Fresh air, sun shining down on us, and so much laughter and cheer surrounding me.

I treasured it all and as I fell into bed that night I told myself that yes, indeed!  The future of our kids has to be preserved and protected.

A wonderful refreshing lady! Meeting Lucy Anne again

 Oh, my gosh,  I can’t believe how very lucky and privileged I was to be able to meet Lucy Anne again. This is the fourth year that I met her.

Since 2022, I have been meeting Lucy Anne and her friend Charmian each time I visit Jilla in the UK. These are 2 very wonderful ladies; friends of Jilla who are brimming over with so much to say, so much to share, and so many stories.

They are charming!  They are so very welcoming, and they are so very engaging. I love them both to bits but for this year I did not see Charmian as she was away on a cruise.

These 2 ladies are what I call typical English hospitality!

So very enjoyable! Traveling on the train

 

I have always enjoyed my train trips; the first one being when I traveled with  Mom and the family to visit Aunty June and her family in the countryside.

Those fast moving trains in the UK. From Montreal to Nova Scotia, various trips from Toronto to Ottawa and Toronto to Montreal, and so much more.

My latest trip was one to really treasure. Jilla and I traveled from London to Paris. We also traveled from Paris to Lourdes and despite it being very long it was great. We also traveled from London to Amsterdam and across Europe in 2023 and 2024.

These are train rides to remember forever.

Thank you Mary and Jesus forever: Lourdes forever

As I say to everyone:  If you truly believe that a visit to Lourdes will change you then you must visit Lourdes. But if you do not believe this then better not to waste time visiting this very treasured and holy shrine.

Jilla and I spent 3 very special days at Lourdes. I visited Saint Bernadette’s Church, some of the other churches on the compound, and drank and refreshed myself from the various fountains.

Jilla and I attended 2 outdoor masses and the highlight for me was when I received confession from one of the resident priests.

What an experience!  What a wonderful time to be treasured forever! Thank you Jilla for having accompanied me!

A welcoming home: Angie’s house

Angie’s house is a very warm and welcoming one and now that I have gotten to know Angie so much more, it is always a pleasure to visit her and her wonderful home.

Angie keeps it so very orderly and it is so very easy to remember my way around. Everything is in its place and Angie is always so very accommodating.  

I am just so pleased and grateful that we have become such good friends and traveling companions.
