I am leaving in an hour for a 360 mile drive to stay with a good friend in Charente, near Limoges. I enjoy driving and it is mainly motorways, so I should be there by mid-afternoon. Gill and I will be having a glass of wine before dinner (she is a great cook) and then the talking will begin!
Back next weekend - I am not sure if she has Wifi - so I will catch up with all of you then.
Have a good week, everybody.

Good Morning, not been posting lately as things Dire and Grim here. I am sometimes lurking a bit , You Lot are keeping me going, thanks. Waiting for hospice respite place for DH. As soon as I'm free I'll come into Soop's kitchen so hope there is some cake left and the party is still going on.
Hope you have a wonderful trip Great Nan

Good morning all sunshine

Enjoy, Greatnan

Michael it's the same here, I noticed the leaves changing colour last week and September has brought cool & damp weather.

Good morning, enjoy your visit Greatnan, and look forward to hearing from you again soon Sewsilver, it is good sometimes just to browse here, isn't it. I had a lovely day yesterday at Amberley Museum, not too many visitors, but enough to be able to chat to them and show of my demonstration skills (not a lot!) Exhausted when we arrived home, but happy. Looks like being a fine day here, so off out in the garden. Enjoy your days.

Lovely day in East Sussex. Just Facetimed my elder granddaughter on her sixth birthday. How time flies! Charity shop all day today and off on holiday tomorrow.

Good morning from Cheshire. It was sunny an hour ago but seems to have changed its mind.
I am off over the hills to spoil see my grandson.

Sewsilver Hang in there! (((hugs))) I hope the hospice place comes soon!

Hi Sewsilver I know what a difficult time it has been for you. Your every minute must be taken up with making sure your OH is comfortable. I hope you are able to look after yourself, too. flowers

Fine start in Durham but clouding up now. Does anyone else see Monday as washday still? They that wash on Monday have all the week to dry.....

Oldgreymare Mon 02-Sept-13 09:24:21

Bathroom cleaning day for me Stansgran a quick wipe over every other day but a 5* clean on a Monday, that reminds me, I must get on.....

harrigran Mon 02-Sept-13 09:38:16

Have a great trip Greatnan, Sewsilver [Flowers]. I too have turned into more of a lurker than a participater (participator?) but this morning I feel I am back!
Lovely morning here, I have been swimming and now feel full of more energy than I have for a while. I will sit in the sun and finish the book I am reading for my Book Club. OGM my bathroom will have to wait although it could do with a 5* clean too ! sunshine

kittylester Mon 02-Sept-13 09:49:06

Bit overcast here but the forecast is for a lovely week sunshine Gardening today - not really in the mood sad

Sewsilver do look after yourself as well as DH and I do hope the respite care turns up soon. Let us know! I bet if there's no cake left someone will manage to whip one up in no time. (((hugs)))

Bright clear blue sky here but a chill remains in the air after the clear night.

A lovely day for my fabulous granddaughter's 8th birthday! Celebrating by going out for the day with her mum, dad sister and stepbrother then coming here for (her request) chicken korma followed by chocolate cake! Better get cooking!

Sunny and warm still in Boston, but a bit breezy. Been into town minus coat, so it can`t be too bad.
