I'm here again :)

At last I'm trying to find time to write in my blog. Last year I've really enjoyed being retired, I was able to deal with things that I like, but I never had time for them beside work. There were many little experiences that are difficult to enumerate and my life has become much calmer. I traveled a lot. I travelled to Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Tyrol, England.

I dealt with the history of my family intensively. The oldest person was born in 1640. Unfortunately, the older documents are only in Latin, so I had a little taste of the Latin language. I learned Latin in the secondary school for one year, but I thought it isn't so important. I chose other languages. But how good it would be to have a little Latin knowledge !

I was hiking a lot. We began to walk on the National Blue Circle. Today two sections are ready - the National Blue Trail and the South Transdanubian Blue Trail - and this year we started the third section, the Big Plain Blue Trail. I hope the first half of next year I'll also manage to finish and then we can say we walked around the Hungarian border and we went almost 2,500 kms.

Meanwhile, my grandchildren have grown a lot. Zsolt is already 18 years old and Mate will be seven years old, and he's a serious pupil.

Also I read a lot, I continued my English study, I renovated my flat and finally I learned to bake cakes and bread.  

This year our next class reunion was due. We graduated 45 years ago. I don't even want to count, when I finished the secondary school. In general, we meet in May.On previous occasions, usually I organized it and everyone accepted it. This year I've been pretty busy, I only waited for an invitation. The months passed and nothing happened. In late September, I wrote an email to one of my classmates. : "What do you know about the meeting?" Did you forget to write to me ? I thought that everybody was very busy. The girl answered to me and she organized a lunch for 10^th October. We were 21 students in the class. Unfortunately, one of our classmates already died, and three of them never come there. A girl is living in Germany. She came all the time, but now she got the invitation a little late. 16 classmates gathered together. It's not so bad. Our school was in the town of Vác. 

We have calculated that the majority of the class was no longer living in Vác, but no one said: sorry I don't want to travel. For our form master we were the first class after her university and she's only a few years older than us We greeted each other as old friends. In 2011 was the last time when we met, so everyone had plenty to say. In the pictures there are no more children, but grandchildren. Now they have the leading role. We planned it have a little conversation for about 1-2 hours after the lunch but finally we only said goodbye to each other at 7 pm. I think everybody had a very nice Saturday afternoon .

Visit to England

Last week I spent in England. This time I traveled with Malév, but this wasn't less than time as the Easyjet in November:) It's true that both flight arrived London-Gatwick, but different terminals.

I said for Emese, don't come out to greet me with the kids early in the morning, I'll find their house second time too. There was a small adventure. I needed to go from the North Terminal to the South Terminal. This direction was unknown to me. I can to ask information, but a answer I didn't understand. Finally, a woman accompanied me to the Shuttle – train. 5 minutes and I was at the South Terminal, it was known to all already. I changed train and 10 minutes later I was in Redhill.
Still I had 15 minutes to walk and I have been with my grandchildren. We were happy for each other, we talked a bit, then we went shopping. I promised to make dinner, what like to eat. Early in the evening started to sleep. The next day, Sunday I went walking near Redhill at the Gatton Park. Of course, it was rain, fog and mud on the path.





The park is set up 15 mid-century, there is a National Trust since 1996, approx. 600 acres of mixed forests and parks made up of established paths for walkers, lakes, an old school, a farm and the lookout points. On Monday, after the work came Ors at Redhill, and we traveled together to his apartment at East Grinstead (Sussex).

Here we were until two days and it's raining always.
The small village has a middle ages atmosphere. We walked a lot at village and in the vicinity of the village.





In the evenings I cooked, then we played exciting computer games.
On Wednesday evening we went back to Redhill. Thursday morning, the sun finally came out and became the spring weather. We could walking without a jacket.
Temperature was +15 degrees. Unfortunately, I had to travel back home afternoon.
Even in the morning we went to the Memorial Park. Here Matt has played and ran a little bit. Then we sat on a terrace and drank delicious coffee.





It was time for a short lunch only, then I packed and had to go to the train station.Direction to airport ! The flight was delayed a lot, I just got home at midnight. Early Friday morning I had to go to work. It was good for me to meet with the kids.

Technique, / Technik

It was today the London – Brighton veteran car run.
My Grandchild Zsolti said to me, to enter the Skype quickly. In England, he made a webcam into his window, so I looked the veteran cars. In this way I saw and heard on my own grandchildren as well.

Il était aujourd'hui à Londres - Brighton courir véhicule vétéran. Mes petits-enfants Zsolti me dit, pour entrer dans le Skype rapidement. En Angleterre, il a fait une webcam dans sa fenêtre, alors j'ai regardé les voitures anciennes. De cette façon, j'ai vu et entendu sur mes petits-enfants ainsi.

Es war heute das London - Brighton Veteran Auto Umzug. Mein Enkelkind Zsolti sagte zu mir, um die Skype schnell zu eintreten. In England machte er Webcam zum Fenster, so sah ich die Oldtimer. Auf diese Weise sah und hörte ich meine Enkelkinder auch.
