I was approached by Jane of Clarke Beck Close asking if she and her friends could replace the Fairy Doors that are on trees on Mill Lane as they do need replacing. Lovely idea and I suggested we get some children involved and meet at the Mill Pond when the new doors are up. Shall let you know.
Now the kindness. On Saturday I went to do my shopping in Morrisons. Did the shopping came out to a terrific downpour. Waited until it eased a bit. Put my shopping in the car and the rain got heavier. Thought I don't want to drive in this so went back into the shop and had a coffee. Came out still raining but not heavy like it had been. Got in the car and it would not start. I gentleman was passing and I said "excuse me do you know anything about cars as I cannot start my car?" He had a look and said its your battery. I have leads in my car but my shopping is on top of them. I will go home and unload shopping and come back. He did so but could not get his leads to attach so called his wife and she came down in her car and attached leads and it worked. Now isn't that wonderful. They went out of their
way to help me. What a lovely lovely thing to do. There was also another older couple who came to ask me if I was ok. They were also kind. What a wonderful town we all live in. I arrived in Morrisons car park at 1.30pm and I arrived home at 6.30 pm. What a long day and I was also very wet. Car seems ok I have only had it since just before Christmas so I have no idea why that happened. I rang Dave in Starbeck so will take it to see him after I have taken the car for a long drive to really charge the battery as least that is what he told me to do as I am afraid and to my shame I know nothing about cars as my lovely husband was the expert having had cars all his life and knew all about engines and stuff.
It has been such a long winter. Are we going to have warmer days. Funny some days are lovely and the next day we are back to those cold winds. Tigs is perplexed. Does she come in and curl up on a chair, usually the one I sit on or does she go into the garden. You and me Tigs we are both perplexed. She is a very affectionate cat but also nuts.
I did a talk for Pannal Wives Group and showed slides of what Pannal Village looked like in years gone by. I always make my talks humorous and they are always well received. I also do a talk on the Valley Gardens as I set up Friends of the Valley Gardens and saved the Sun Pavilion and Colonnades from demolition. How Harrogate Borough Council could have ever decided to do that is beyond me and I fought a very long and hard battle to save them. Her Majesty the Queen came to open the Sun Pavilion after a major refit and all those same stupid Councillors were presented to her. I was present.
