Hi Gerry,
I hope all is well with you. I love and miss you so very much.
It was Darren’s 45th birthday yesterday. I went to the Chines experience for an all you can eat buffet with him, Kelly, Austyn, Violet and Russel. We had a wonderful evening and the food was great. We had to go the night before his birthday as he had a gig on his birthday. Jamie could not go as he was flying to Los Angeles for the NAMM show.
It has been an eventful few day here. Last Sunday I went with the Rock Choir and performed on stage at there festival. It was good fun but so very cold. I have been feeling ill ever since. I was a bit unwell before the event but as I got so very cold for so long it has escalated a bit.
On Wednesday night Jamie rang to say his car was making a funny knocking sound and he did not want to risk driving it to Heathrow. I arranged to pick him up. I had to get up at 5am and pick him up at 6am. Jamie drove, and I was going to drive back. It did not go to plan though. The airport now has lots of traffic light and parking charges as well as emission fines. We decided to park in the short stay carpark so that i could go and have a wee. It took 15 minutes to find a parking space and then ages to get to the toilets. I left Jamie just before 8am. When I got to the paying machine it did not work, so I had to go downstairs to the next level. There was a man having problems and his card which it took and the machine was notlonger working. I then went to the next lower level and there was a queue. When I finally got the ticket in the machine the 29 minutes parking time had elapsed by a couple of minutes and it cost me £8.50. Then when I tried to find my way out of the airport the sat nav just kept making me go around and around the circuit. This went on for an hour. I was so stressed and frustrate. I should have just taken the M5 turn off, but I thought it was going the wrong way. I do not know what kind of fine I will get not now at it charges you £5 each time you enter the area. And £80 late payment. I will just have to wait and see what happens next. Please can I beg you to intervene and make sure that I do not get a huge fine. When I eventually found my way off the airport roundabout the sat nav took me home via country roads, towns and villages. It was a horrible journey and took me over 4 hours. If I had been on the M4 I would have been home by 9.30am but instead I got home at 12.15pm.
Then I discovered that Jamie had a horrible journey as well. His flight was 11 hours and we thought it was going to be 8. Then when they landed another airplane had taken there parking slot. They had to wait another 2 hours on the pane to wait for the other plane to empty refuel, reload and take off. Apparently, the customs in LA were dire and that took ages. He finally reached his hotel at 3.05am.
I did see a white Dove fly up in front of the car when I was driving to pick up Jamie, I wondered if that was a sign from you, that you would be with us and take care of us.
As is well now though. We bought Darren an Oral b electric toothbrush and cushion with a message and put £30in his bank account. He had a lovely day and lots of other presents from his family and friends.
Last week it was half term and Darren took his family camping in Avon Vale and Jamie took his family to London to see the sights. They both had a fabulous time although very expensive.
It is the Queens platinum jubilee this weekend. It is a four-day bad holiday. I am not doing anything as I have been feeling ill ever since the Lechlade singing. I am supposed to be doing a 3-minute flash mob tomorrow with the choir in Wood Street, but I might not go as it looks like it could be raining and windy. Darren is booked to play in Goddard Avenue for the street party tomorrow from 8-9.30pm. I might try and go to that if it is not raining. But I am worried about parking as it will be very busy and there is limited parking in Old Town.
Life is not very nice here at the moment. Prices of everything is rocketing daily and everyone is struggling to cope financially. Fortunately, you have left me well provided for so that I can cope, and help the boys if necessary.
The weather is lousy, and I have not seen your butterfly yet this year. I am extremely worried that you have left me and that I will no longer see you. Please come back to me. I need the comfort of knowing you are alive, free and as beautiful as ever. I need to be able to see you and be close to you. I want to be able to radiate and transmit loving thoughts, messages, idea’s memories and emotions to you. I need to tell you that I love and miss you so very much. I want you to be able to transmit message to me and let me know what your life is like now.
I hope all is well with you and that you are having a wonderful life. Di is doing ok still. She is not eating very much these days and is still losing weight. She still likes her daily walk around the block and enjoys here treats, just not dog food.
Until we meet again please always remember that I always have, and always, will, love you forever and always.
I can’t wait to be in your loving arms again.
All my love, forever and always,
Maggie XxX
