My favourite photo of Leo , watching ducklings
Administering antibiotics to one of the ghost hens
I’ve arranged to meet my nephew at St Pancreas around 2pm but my train connection from Crewe has been cancelled.
At least they texted and emailed me the news.
I’ve caught the earlier train just to make sure.
Trendy Carol’s husband Ewan agreed to sort the dogs out.
What a star.
No comic con today, we are keeping it simple.
Check in to hotel, visit to superhero mega store on Shaftsbury ave.early dinner at Dishoom in Covent Garden and Six the musical down on the Strand .
I haven’t seen him for a year so we have lots of films to mutually review and news to catch up on.
Leo isn’t my blood nephew, but I’ve known him since he was a baby
Over 20 years now
Man and boy…..
I wonder how long he will keep in touch as we lead very different lives on opposite ends of the country
Who knows
I have just had a brief visist from a "niece" and a "nephew" neither of whom is a blood relative and both who live on the other side of the US. They are in the east for Thanksgiving but drove four hours each way to have lunch with me since I can no longer travel. It was wonderful to see them and catch up.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Sometimes meeting like we do, it reminds me of being an old sponge
DeleteStating everything up thirstily
Friendships last as long as the people put the effort into them.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always believed in that two
DeleteToo!!!!!
DeleteI think, as you're a favourite, cool to be with, uncle, you'll be meeting up and staying in contact for many years to come. xx
ReplyDeleteCool
DeleteLol that would be a first
Either way, you've provided some great memories he'll always have, whether you end up staying in touch or not. Enjoy the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd he is very fashionable in his chapeau!
Yes he was sat in the theatre and some young woman grabbed his pullover and said the same thing.
DeletePals no pressure are precious xx 🌟
ReplyDeleteIt warms my heart to know that you and Leo will be seeing each other again.
ReplyDeleteI think comic con next year will be booked, hopefully the walking dead cast will show up a bit desperate after shelving the run
DeleteBlood is not the most reliable indicator of family.
ReplyDeleteYes …..I’ve been talking about that when reviewing the walking dead
DeleteI can't believe it's been a year since you last saw each other. Time flies! I laughed at "St. Pancreas" -- Dave and I call it that all the time. (Probably everyone does.)
ReplyDeleteYes force of habit , I have to stop myself giving it the full organ treatment Steve x
DeleteYou are constant in Leo's life and share lots of good memories over time. I hope you continue.
ReplyDeleteI hope so susan
DeleteYou are such a people person and loving uncle, I know you will continue to make the effort!
ReplyDeleteI find that certain people tend to keep in touch. Especially, when we have left a mark on their lives. I would be surprised if you nephew ever stopped reaching out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand and glorious day you and Leo have planned!! Hope it is totally wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFret not that Leo isn't blood kin. He's your honorary nephew and will be forever. You two arelinked heart to heart.
Hugs!
It is amazing to think about each person in your life and how each makes you the person you are.
ReplyDeleteGemma's person above...Beth
DeleteSounds like a fun day! You have lots of happy memories with Leo!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I hope you both enjoyed your day out.
ReplyDeleteEven if it’s only once a year, it’s a wonderful connection to maintain. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you have kept in touch with Leo and it seems he appreciates your friendship and understanding.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I am sewing with my niece - they are such special people in our lives eh.
ReplyDeleteGood plans for the meet up. Hope you can stay close even though you live very different lives with some distance between. The photos are just so special and you must really treasure them.
