Hi everyone. I am home again. I will take a while to catch up on everyone's post but will try and get there soon.
My mum was fine. She is 92, and getting very tired and a bit confused, but she enjoyed the visit and I took her out for little trips in the car to enjoy the autumn.
I had the opportunity to take some pictures in the lovely park land and in a wonderful garden.
Here are the bee pictures for a start.

Wish ur mother a good health... and fantastic pictures! soubhagya · 2009-10-04: 05:55
