Stockbridge
This morning I visited to Stockbridge, an attractive Hampshire village on the River Test. I went to have my eyes tested and to choose new specs at the newest branch of the Company for which I used to work. It is in a lovely old building but that caused the Company a headache trying to get permission to make internal alterations. It was good to catch up with old colleagues. I had hoped to meet a friend who lives in the village but as she wasn't available I went for a walk by myself. The main blip shows a view from a bridge in the village looking across the Test valley. The extra shows Old St Peter's church at the other end of the village. It dates from the 12th century . Most of it was demolished in 1870's when a new church was built in the High Street, leaving just the Norman chancel behind. The door seemed locked today but apparently the church is occasionally used for services.
This afternoon I braved a visit to my Mother in the Care Home. She was still demanding I take her back to her home, which isn't realistic. However, she and I were both pleased that the leg ulcer whish has been troubling her for nearly five months is now healed. After I left her, I found a couple of the nurses to thank them for the excellent care they are giving my Mum. They don't seem too concerned about her angry outbursts and demands to go home.. I think she may be saving them for me and my sister!
In the evening we went to an informal folk music gig performed by a group of friends at a local venue. There was plenty of audience participation encouraged with joining in with singing the choruses.
All good fun.
