Crikey.. it's mighty dismal out there in deepest Knightsbridge folks! But it is nothing to what they are experiencing further up north in the UK. That wicked storm Jonas has arrived on our shores, not in the form of snow but in form of water and huge amounts of rain and strong winds are again soaking the northern and western parts of these British Isles. Poor old BUB will be getting it too, for he lives on an island in the middle of the Irish Sea.
She had an appointment in the early afternoon and stuff to do, I was mighty glad to be able to pull my invalid card and didn't even think of going into the hall, for although it is much warmer, because she cannot draw the door bolts when she goes out, there is, if the wind is from the west, a strong breeze that comes whistling under the front door and up my backside.
Off she and old WW went into the wet and dismal so-called daylight which wasn't very light at all, dreary stuff these rainy days, there will be no weeding done for ages if the weather continues to be like this, that's for sure.
But she saw two things that gave her such pleasure and I wish that she had had the sense to take a photograph of them both.
In Draycott Avenue underneath Nell Gwynn House, there is a garage, they specialise in Bentleys and Rolls Royce motor cars. She took a short cut and wow, she was glad she did, for there, right in front of her, was an amazing motor car.
It was long. very long.. heaven's only knows how many horse power were sitting under its bonnet, the engine was purring, it was British Racing Green and painted on the driver's door panel was a Union Jack, the British flag.
She crossed over the road and said to the man sitting in the car.. "Lordy, how glorious is this, what vintage is she, why the flag, was she raced at all, I bet whoever owns her loves her", the man smiled and said "she's a 1934 model and yes, she raced, her owner does love her very much and so do we for we've looked after her for a very long time but you get a bit damp in her on a day like today".
And she went on her way.. thinking of how glorious the old style Bentleys and Rolls Royces used to be, now they're both just huge clumpy cars with VERY little grace.
On her way back from her appointment, she got new books from the library and walked home.. 'oh, look.. how wonderful, so there will be a Spring..' and there in front of her, Dear Readers, was a beautiful, not very tall Star Magnolia tree just coming into bloom.. with such beautiful blossoms.
The promise of Spring.. and what a happy thought THAT is on a cold wet windy day.. I'm not quite up to destroying cardboard.. but I 'deigned' to eat some of my yumyum and we are settled in for the night, it is far too wet and miserable out there to be anywhere else but tucked up snug as bugs at home.
I hope you are too?
