bye bye sarah

Spent another three hours down the allotment today. Trimmed the grass around and in the large strawberry bed. It was a bit windy but still quite warm. One of my allotment neighbours very kindly lent me a DVD of Sweeney Todd, the American version with Angela Lansbury, so looking forward to seeing that tomorrow.

We went up to the parents in laws today as it was nan's birthday. We bought her a couple of vases and some flowers. Then at 7pm we took Sarah to the station as she was heading back to University. She should be there by 11pm tonight and her boyfriend is escorting her back across the city to her accommodation. It is horrid having to say goodbye to her. I wont see her until late June now. She is just so damned independent and unwilling to be "mothered". Luckily Sev recognised my sadness, I think, and gave me plenty of hugs after she left so that cheered me up. But then he might be going away soon too, off to join the Navy by the end of the summer.

BIG SIGH
