Bank holiday, yay!

In bed, following a rib injury.

Enjoy your Foodies Festival while I crawl down for a ham sandwich ?

Fab weather here in South Bucks so have booked an outdoors performance of Bohemian Rhapsody plus taking our own yummy picnic curtesy of M and S. Seen the film before but it should be good to watch in the moonlight by the river on Monday night when it will still be warm.

Enjoy the BH folks whatever you are doing.

To me, it is another day so I will be using my washing machine as usual. At least I do not have to return to paid work the next day.

I will stay off the road- even locally it will be hell on earth.

Far too busy everywhere. We are spending a quiet bank holiday weekend at home.
We are doing something next Wednesday though, a cruise down the river Tees with afternoon tea. It will probably rain!

We are not going anywhere we have done all the daft queue's when the DCs where little and would not wish it on anyone ever all the traffic jams bumper to bumper what joy is in that I just don't know.
Off to M&S to stock up on some scrummy picnic goodies to enjoy in our garden tomorrow weather permitting and that is as far as I'm going 10mins there and 10mins back job done.

Same as Charleygirl the roads are a definite no no on bank holidays, it’s peace and quiet in the garden.

Taking DS, DiL and DGD to see Kynren tonight. The weather should be perfect!

We are walking into town later as it is our town’s annual balloon festival!

Just another day for us too. Been for a lovely long walk this morning and probably spending the rest of the day in the garden (as long as it isn't too hot!)

We're always glad when everyone gets back to work and we have the open spaces to ourselves again!

Working Sunday and Monday, so bit of a non event for me, sadly.

I'm on a day trip to Barry Island.

Clearing the garage and reading today and tomorrow. Monday I'm going to see the new Quentin Tarantino film 'Once upon a time in Hollywood '.

Off to the seaside tomorrow, avoiding major roads. Probably mad, but may not get another opportunity this year.

Collecting a dd from uni today then we're setting off at crack of dawn tomorrow to take her to the airport for her flight to the US to do her medical elective. She doesn't have time to go by boat.

24- mile bike ride in the Northumberland lanes to Capheaton Tea rooms for lunch & home again.
Now trying to get out of the armchair into which I’ve slumped.
Tomorrow evening going to an evening of Americana at the Tyne Bank Brewery.
Monday friends coming round for a meal in the evening.
Just enjoying the lovely weather

Just hosted a lunch for the family here in the garden.Everyone just gone now, so am leaving all the debris for later and am on ipad with a glass of chilled white to hand.

Good for me to have a day off work, (it's been getting me down a bit lately ) and also to have Mr P home for an extra day.

However, as he's self employed, that's a days pay lost.

29 degrees here. Can’t possibly be an August bank holiday? Cheeky glass of chilled rosé and pork fillet marinading for BBQ tonight. Plus ditto lamb leg for family lunch of Kleftiko tomorrow. Monday will be left overs and tranquillity. Love this weather.

not a bank holiday here ,next long weekend is end of September

Just realised how smug that sounded. Sorry Phoenixand anyone else feeling down today.

It’s lovely to hear someone loving life so much, have a great weekend

Did a bit food shopping this morning as my sister has invited herself for supper (she obviously didn’t get a better offer) and my dad has decided he might as well come too.
I don’t mind doing the picking up but I hope they don’t expect to be taken home again.

This is the last B/H for us until C now paddyann.

The weather is pleasant ( better than it has been) but not marvellous , we are so close to the sea we get the wind straight off the North Sea .

Bloomin’ heck 24 mile JaneA you must be very fit .

I really wish I could ride a bike . When I win the lottery I’m going to buy an electric bike then can switch over to go uphill .

That’s cheating Gilly
If it’s any consolation I’m totally kn***ered
and everything aches. The worst bit though is other cyclists overtaking us at high speed
