Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Looks like another nice day today.
Happy Birthday cornergran
Off to work for a long shift over the weekend now. I have lots of VE Day goodies for the children!!
This time last year I was badgering my DSiL with phone calls about how DD was getting on in labour. He had to tell me and his Mum to go away in the end?? oh boy she did take a long time!!!!

Gilly ?

Take care everyone and stay safe today❤️

Good morning Mick , Gilly and everyone. It's now a bit cloudy in Cheshire, but I'm pleased that I was able to see the flower moon last night. Things like that cheer me up in these strange times.

Gilly you are battling against all the odds to keep things afloat. Your friends on GN know how hard you've worked and struggled over the last few months and admire you so much. I know kind thoughts and good wishes don't get things done, but you are in my thoughts right now. Please take care of yourself. flowers

After a bit of a down day yesterday I had a lovely facetime chat with my DD and DGS last night and I'm going to be more proactive today. I ironed scrubs made by my neighbour for the local hospital yesterday and felt as though I was making a contribution at least.

I'll enjoy a walk at .9.00 and try to stay busy for the rest of the day dong this and that.

Stay safe and sane everyone. flowers for all. x

Lovey and bright here in West Berkshire

Happy Birthday Cornergran , enjoy your day .

Husband and son are erecting a shed today so I will be on tea ☕️ making duty .

Will observe the 2 minutes silence and put a remembrance cross in the hedge at the front of the house but no other celebrations here .

Have a good day.

Morning Mick, morning All. A light blue sky over our corner of Somerset. I’m sorry you had such a bad night,*gilly*, you’ve had and are having a tough time. It seems I’m a year older today. The lockdown and VE focus make it feel an odd one. Tea in bed shortly followed by breakfast if I’m lucky. Will join the 11am silence and the 3pm toast. Otherwise a walk and a sit in the garden with a book. A nice meal and a chilled bottle for this evening. Not such a bad day. Be gentle with yourselves everyone.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where it is a dry and bright day.

There is quite a few houses in my road decorated with flags including my own.

I ventured to the next town yesterday and bought some compost and paint. I thought the road was as busy as it usually
is between the two towns.

Yesterday my SiL and I had a very long FaceTime chat.

Before I have my breakfast I’ll go out on my bike for a ride then potter and read. I’m struggling with my book.

Enjoy your holiday weekend plans whatever they maybe and SS all ????‍♀️?

Morning Mick and Gillybob- you are very early and I hope you haven’t been up all night worrying Gillybob? Fingers crossed you’ve had some joy with those phone calls x

Happy VE Day to all - not sure we’ll do anything to commemorate but might sit out with a cuppa and some cake ? this afternoon.

We get news of lockdown here in Wales at lunchtime and I hope it’s not lifting as we seem to have lots of visitors already who really shouldn’t be coming to their holiday homes at the moment.

Stay safe everyone x

Good morning Mick and everyone.

The sun is trying to come out in Kent. Yesterday was glorious, warmest day so far and I spent a couple of hours sitting in the garden.
I don't expect much in the way of VE celebrations in my road as it is a main road on the very outskirts of town. If your doing tea in your front garden. Have fun.
Stay safe all you lovely people.

Good morning from the NE coast Michael and all to follow.

Take care everyone. xx

Good Morning Everyone,
It bright and sunny here in Brackley this morning.
Will do a shop shortly after breakfast .
Will be interesting to see what the VE Day will be like locally will see a solo singer on the Piazza in the town singing or what.
What is noticeable is the still air ,and its surprising noise can be heard , due tto the lack of carbon being burned off from vehicles effecting the air.
Mick
