They lived and laughed and loved and left.

Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland
Alnwick Castle, Northumberland











I have been laid low of late.





In March, we made a lovely trip to Scotland to visit my family and then on to fantastic Northumberland for a special birthday - my father in law John's 91st. We enjoyed a quiet celebration as he was not in the best of health and promised him that we would return in October for another visit. Alas, it was not to be. John died 2 weeks after we left him so then we made another, much sadder sojourn to our homeland. I miss John very much and for me the trips to beautiful Northumberland will never be the same.

Sad news, Marian. That is such a beautiful part of the country, I hope in time you are able to return and enjoy its beauty and remember John without sadness.

Marion Williams-Bennett said...

So much sadness. I hope that you can find comfort in this journey of grief.

This is such a beautiful place, I imagine John's spirit dwelling there, touching you when you return.

Peace, Marian.

Condolences Marian

Condolences on your loss. Such grief and such beauty in one place.

It's where my then future wife and I first spent time together and got to know one another, beating the tide there and back over the causeway to Lindisfarne. Alnwick was closed that day due to Harry Potter being filmed there...your blog made me stop, smile and reminisce. Thank you.

Hi Marian, Sorry to hear of your lose. I hope that you and your family come to terms with your dear John’s passing soon enough and are able to carry on the way I’m sure he would want you to do. Thank you so much for your visit, visit to my new Etsy shop and comment on my blog. Cynthia at Wertz says Hi! ...

ज्यादातर लोग न जाने क्यों सिर्फ और सिर्फ दिसावर और गली की गेम पर पैसा लगाना पसंद करते है। अब ये बात तो हम दावे के साथ नहीं कह सकते है कि क्या वजह है। वैसे तो लोगो का मानना है कि गली देसावर गेम इंटरनेशनल गेम है। इसके अलावा उन लोगो को फरीदाबाद और ग़ज़िआबाद की गेम खेलना अच्छा लगता है क्योंकि ये गेम आसानी से किसी भी Khaiwal के पास लिखी जाती है और इसका पैसा भी आसानी से मिल जाता है। यदि आप दिल्ली से होतो तो आपके लिए एक गेम और है जो आप जरूर खेलते होंगे प्ले बाजार की दिल्ली बाजार, दिल्ली बाजार को डीएल बाजार के नाम से भी जाना जाता है वही नार्थ दिल्ली के लोग इस गेम को सिर्फ डीएल के नाम से जानते है। जैसे कि देसावर DS और गली GB नाम से फेमस है वैसे ही ग़ज़िआबाद GB और फरीदाबाद FD के नाम से फेमस है।
