I like Expat mum's comment--I have a feeling people immediately recognize you as a kind person and good listener. I'm sure they enjoyed the conversations as much as you did. Good to hear you are doing well.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-9962204483851370262015-06-09T03:09:43.728+01:002015-06-09T03:09:43.728+01:00I loved Bath when we visited there.

I am imagining myself joining you on your bench for a chat and a hug, and then wandering off together for tea and a huge bun (I think it was called a bap?).<br />So glad you got a day out to play.MARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-56153694572908485562015-06-09T02:03:47.722+01:002015-06-09T02:03:47.722+01:00Hi Maggie, that sounds like a good tonic!

Wonderful place! I love sitting on a bench in the sun, I inevitably start chatting to whoever comes to sit next to me, always find someone interesting to share conversation with. I'll be in UK at the end of June, sadly not in the Bath and Bristol area.

You also must project a most friendly and hospitable image for these two ladies to have asked to join you. I'm so glad you had a chance to get away, and that the day proved to be so enjoyable for you. I hope you have many more days like this in the future.

It's hard being on your own, but with friends, family, and congenial strangers the time seems to fly by and the loneliness lifts somewhat.<br /><br />I think it's a treat to step on a bus and in an hour you are somewhere different with shops and other things of interest. Here in Canada where there is so much space (not complaining), it would take a much longer bus ride, but that's just how it goes. <br />Sending hugs to you and Harry!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-88447924227207713412015-06-07T20:24:01.429+01:002015-06-07T20:24:01.429+01:00What an upllifting story.

It reminded me of when I was in Bath, sitting outside at a cafe table and I went over to another table to help a lady who clearly had PD and was having trouble pouring her tea - we exchanged a few words as well.
