Happy Easter

Hi all you Hippies,
Happy Easter to all those who celebrate this time of year .
Today the sun did shine.
I drove my car to The Runnymede Hotel (where the Magna Carta was signed ) and , along with my best friend, had a glorious lunch in the hotel alongside the River Thames.
After lunch we took a stroll along the tow path . Just ten weeks ago today I had my left hip replaced and if someone had told me then that this could be achieved so quickly , I would have found it hard to believe.
For all of you in the early stages and those awaiting surgery; there is a new life ahead ; just hang in there🌝🌺👞👠

But, so much for which to be grateful: my new hip, my daughter is slowly recovering from a concussion and my husband is managing both of us without going bonkers (at least yet). Tomorrow the temperature is meant to rise to +9 C and the crocuses below the ice should blaze into glory.
Happy (hippy) Easter all.
Let us hope that the violence in our world will ebb for at least the next few days.

I don't know where in the world you live but let's hope the ice has gone and the spring flowers are blooming.
George medal to hubby.
He surely deserves it!

We visit good friends who live in Norfolk as often as possible touring much of the country (and others). It is wonderful to explore our shared history together and I think I have just added another place to our lists (although Cornwall is calling also for altogether other reasons). The Scottish Isles have also ben calling (too many voices in my head)!
Thanks for this snapshot ... a lovely outing to anticipate on a hopefully not-too-distant trip.
Cheers
PS My husband does deserve a medal, a good lad that one.

Just past the hotel at Runnymede, there is a park from which, during summer months, you can take a boat trip along the river . A few years ago I took this trip when we received a history lesson. There is a site at Runnymede that signifies the place where King John signed the Magna Carta. However during this boat trip we were advised that over the years Historians , have studied numerous documents from that time and concluded that the Magna Carter was signed in a now secluded spot on the other side of the river; the boat stopped at this site .
Just thought this may be of interest to you.

I've visited his effigy in the Temple Church in London and laid a little posy of flowers on it.

I too love history and am fortunate enough to live just six miles from Runnymede and Windsor; approx Six miles from Hampton Court (my favourite period). And just ten miles from inner London.
Hope you are feeling stronger .

Glad to meet a fellow history buff
What a beautiful part of the country to live in. We had a famous castle here in Northamptonshire, apparently King John's favourite castle, but there is nothing left of it now. The Gunpowder plot was allegedly planned here in Northamptonshire too. Nowhere near as rich in history as your area though.
