Back in Sefton Park and a chat with pa!

I had my first walk in the park since I came back for the holidays. I am impressed with the beauty of the trees and flower beds. Very exciting ,the two swans that I said goodbye to in April are now parents.
I saw two tiny cygnets when I first arrived. I think they may just be days old.As I was watching the family scene a man on the opposite bank jumped over the fence,he had something in his hand but I could not quite make out what it was. The dad swan raised out of the water and flapped his immense wings at the man, then much to my amazement the man deposited a third cygnet into the water.It must have wandered away. The dad swan calmed down and the two swans glided away with all three cygnets.I felt uplifted by the whole experience.
I walked up to the five trees and was startled by the changes in that space since I left. The daffodils are long gone, but still rotting down, and all the trees are in beautiful bloom.
I had a long chat with dad,it felt good to be back there close to where a part of him is.

I see it is soon to be Father's day. I felt such a pang when I saw the advert.

My inheritence cheques arrived on Wednesday,such a big moment. I put one cheque into my Santander account,and the bulk is on its way to Bank of Ireland .I can follow it on GPO website. I sent it by airsure.
It is sitting in Dublin as I type.

I find the whole change in my circumstance quite stressful- we have come off benefits now.Our monthly income has not gone up but we have savings now. I know and trust that we will be fine it is a good challange to have. Just needs time to adjust to it.

Enjoyed a lovely evening with A&L since we came home,and tomorrow we all go to Salford to celebrate Philip's 37th birthday.

37 good grief ,when I was 37 I had a 16 and 11 year old. My grandmother became a grandmother at that age. Our children's lives are so diffferent from our. young lives.

I guess this has always been they way of it.

I think all our children have good lives Thank Goodness

Still flowing  from feeling calm and happy to deep in grief. That is ok ,how it should be.Dad was such a big presence in my life for 63 years.
Love you miss you pa XXX
