My brother's hobby (one of them) is geo-cacheing. If I've spelled it right.

That's where he (and his girlfriend) have a programme on his mobile which lets him search for little hidden boxes (geo caches) and, once they've found them they sign a book (or something) to say they have and update a website. It's a good fun way to give them plenty of exercise and encourages them both to be out in the countryside.

Recently he came across this, which is (he's told) directions to a cache somewhere or other probably near where they live. Or maybe not.

Can anyone translate it?

I finished the socks I was knitting and am looking for another project. I shall inspect my stash of wools this afternoon.

It was my mother's 85th birthday a few days ago. I'm going to see her tomorrow, a day trip to Nuneaton by train. Today, I'm working from home due to the tube strike and I have to work tomorrow morning.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a present for an elderly woman, confined to bed, who is in hospital, and which might be obtainable at a railway station in the UK? (For those who know railway stations in the UK, it's Euston.)

Edit: The hospital does not allow flowers. I have no idea why.
