August was a very lazy month! I've had a few bursts of activity but I've done a lot of lounging around. Aren't I a lucky girl!
The high spot of my month was definitely my trip to North Yorkshire. I feel so proud of my nephew who completed the Coast To Coast Walk with a huge grin on his face. It's about two hundred miles long and he did it in less than two weeks so I think I am allowed to be a very proud Auntie. Mind you, he says I am a very eccentric auntie as I sat and knitted on the cliff top as I waited for him.
This trip also brought joy as I sought out a very old friend with whom I was in danger of losing contact. She had moved and it was by a mere fluke that I managed to find her.
I value friendship highly and have had several meals out with friends including a birthday meal for one of my cousins. It's one of the joys of my retirement that my cousins are once again becoming my friends. Another cousin came and sorted my TV so I can stream programmes and yet another rescued me when my washing machine had a hissy fit.
I've had another comping win - this time of tickets for a house renovation show in London but I'll be giving the tickets away.
I've had another of those sad/happy times when a group of parishes which I've been looking after got its very own vicar so I am redundant. I'm happy for the vicar and the parishes though. Don't worry, another group has already approached me and I've done a wedding and two funerals! I'm having a few Sundays in the pews of my local church then I'll be out again in the villages every Sunday, I'm sure.
