Your treat for today

Just that really - please share one thing that you’re planning for the day to cheer yourself up in these trying times.

Could be anything from a bar of chocolate, glass of something lovely, arranging some freshly cut flowers from your garden or baking a cake to a freshly made bed, or even painting your toenails!

Doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks (DH has just informed me I’m daft) as long as it puts a smile on your face!

So to start this off - yesterday I changed our bed and had the best night’s sleep! Today I’m going to make some banana bread as they’re really mottled in the fruit bowl - can’t tell you how many brownie points that gets in this house!

Am going to bring the large gin, rhubarb one, forward from 6pm to 5pm ?

Brunette10 Fri 20-Mar-20 11:31:51

I'm going to make a Lemon Loaf - so yummy!

My treat for today, well it was from a couple of days ago really, but rejoiced to learn that the Eurovision Song Contest has been cancelled, maybe the lack of it this year will make us realise that we don't need the humiliation of coming last every year. Contrary to the majority of the nations who take part in this farce, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland have a wealth of talent on the world stage, small we may all be, but artistically we punch well above our weight.

Apart from that we will be going out for a walk in the park around Hampton Court,where the daffodils are out and looking amazing, bet Cardinal Wolsey thought so too when it was his gaffe.

Wishing you all well fellow GNs

I am going to treat the kitchen floor to a steam clean

My treat today Pantglas2 will be a glass of wine and Gardeners World starts tonight.

Morning Treaters and thank you for those lovely pics yesterday- wish my garden was as full of pretty colours as some of yours!

Our walk along the beach yesterday was delightful and apart from one other couple we had the place to ourselves!

Today’s delight is - chocolate! More for himself than me as I can pretty much take it or leave it mostly but will buy some salted caramel which he likes!

Enjoy your treat folks x

marydoll hope you’re keeping safe thank you for your kind words The east coast has been gorgeous and sunny today. A little chilly now though not to worry I’m tucked up safely under my cosy electric overblanket it’s been the Best Buy of the year and believe me I’ve bought much

They’re Mossy saxifrage Gabriella - I’ve got a pink one and a red one - they flower for months.

gillybob Thu 19-Mar-20 15:13:41

They're gorgeous Whitewave smile

Whitewavemark2 Thu 19-Mar-20 15:05:39

Just back from a short break and this made me smile. They came out in just 4 days.

GabriellaG54 Thu 19-Mar-20 14:54:21

They look wonderfully uplifting Lisagran
What are the pretty pinky/red ones?

Marydoll Thu 19-Mar-20 14:45:11

Elizabeth, nothing to apologise for. I'm so glad to hear you been out and about after all your time in hospital. I think it's much nicer on the East Coast than here.

Elizabeth1 Thu 19-Mar-20 13:53:32

Elizabeth1 Thu 19-Mar-20 13:51:09

Manyhappy returns Aonia have a good day flowers think I’m going for a wee walk along the beach front it’s a beautiful day might even take a few steps out of my wheelchairgrin

Ladyinspain Thu 19-Mar-20 09:50:19

You’re all sooo lucky ! We live in spain and no way are we allowed to go outside for a walk! ALL shops are closed as are bars - restaurants. Couldn’t pop to Primark or John Lewis! Or anywhere unless for food meds or petrol & we must keep receipts to show police where we been ! Only one in the car - people fined if caught ‘ unless taking to a Dr

tanith Thu 19-Mar-20 07:48:25

I’ll take a good walk later probably in the rain, my head is telling me to go buy a box of nice chocolates to have a couple as a treat each day. But can I stop at one or two? ??

Brunette10 Thu 19-Mar-20 07:40:03

We are going for a picnic in the car. Picnic will be made up at home. Will look for a nice spot overlooking the water somewhere and will gaze out to sea.

Pantglas2 Thu 19-Mar-20 07:20:15

Morning Treaters - what delight is in store today?

DH and I have decided to go for a short walk along the beach this afternoon as it’s promising fine weather for the next week- that’ll blow a few cobwebs away! Then back to sit in the newly cleared out summerhouse with tea and banana bread (of which there’s not a lot left.....)!

Pantglas2 Wed 18-Mar-20 19:12:37

Well some of us Treaters are going to have a treat of new clothes if we keep scoffing on banana bread, hot x or Chelsea buns, aren’t we!

My eyebrow tinting was a bit lopsided due to an overlong phone call - one fat caterpillar on the right and a lean and mean one on the left grin! Daren’t show a photo or you’ll be treating yourselves to a stiff drink!

All the flowers/gardens are lovely and those of you doing therapeutic walks - well done x

BlueBelle Wed 18-Mar-20 18:48:33

A Belgian bun with a coffee, pure delight but probably a million calories
