A sad time down South - twice - second day

We would be motoring some today so we were up early and on our way - an hour later we managed to get out of Milton Keynes, all the roads look the same!!!
PJ had spoken with his younger sister and we had decided to visit the last resting place of his birth Mother.
We found the woods and started looking for the area we needed to be in.
The woods look as though they are many years old, PJ used to ride his bike round about this area when he was younger.
It was an amazing space, lots of shapes and colours and birds singing.
It was also pretty obvious that in the springtime there are hundreds of bluebells flowering.  

PJ contacted L so that she could direct us to the right spot, so we followed the path to the fence ...........



I found it very significant that PJ stood where his Mother's ashes had been strewn while talking to his sister on the phone - a meeting of sorts for the three of them at last .....




We then travelled on to the home where Mother spent the last years of her life.
It was a beautiful house set in its own grounds.  I haven't visited such a grand place, set back from the road, for years ... I think Miss Davies house back in the fifties was about the same ......

We went in to ask if there was a possibility of seeing any paperwork, or photos or suchlike, but the staff gave us the bad news that the Home had been sold to a new company, the papers would be lost.  They gave us permission to take some photos so round the building we walked then climbed back into the car and drove away....

We met up with Rover 3 for lunch, in our favourite Chinese takeaway of course!
After completing a small amount of shopping, we said our goodbyes and tootled off home.

Although it had been sad reasons for going down south, on the whole we had enjoyed ourselves.  It was good to meet up with friends and good to find a bit more to the jigsaw of PJ's natural family,
