Life in Sunny Dubai

By GadgetKid

Twilight

Here's something you'd never see in Dubai... flowers left to remember a loved one... I love how they do that over here.
 
So today, we made it to church with a minute to spare. I completely forgot my camera, so had to use my phone to get a picture of new friends we've made. (See extra.)
 
We went over to Margaret's for tea at 3 and had a fantastic time chatting and getting a grand tour of her very extensive garden. It's a bit WOW. (We also helped a lady from the congregation, Maggie, fill out a form so she can keep her driver's license as someone who is older than 80.) Margaret is game for anything, and we ended up driving to Worthing to have fish and chips overlooking the sea, hoping that the rain might stop for a bit, but it didn't. We found an award-winning chippy though (Chipwick) who are entering a competition for being named the best fish and chip shop in the UK. Fortunately, they had non-fish things for me. Well, not just me - you know what I mean!
 
Food acquired, we headed to a spot that G knows from her many visits there, which is where my blip is taken. We had to resort to in-car dining - which was fine but had to get a glimpse of the sea before leaving.
 
Got back via Gomshall Mill for a glass of wine, as there weren't any ice cream vans around to finish the whole seaside experience. :)
 
It was very late. Well past 11pm. We chatted a lot!
 
... And on a more personal note, had my mum still been alive, she would have celebrated her 77th birthday today. Margaret confessed to being the same age when I mentioned it! She's got incredible energy, running up a small hill behind me to put the rubbish in a bin; she then ran out to the sea. The tide was out, so she went quite far.
