The best thing for me was when DGS ( teenager) turned up at the door bearing a large bag of flour, he knew I hadn’t been able to get any via delivered shopping.?
The other thing was when DD called round on Monday and we sat in the garden with iced drinks and chatted for an hour.

Spending a lovely afternoon in the sunshine social distancing with my daughter and grandkids.. Bliss!!

Sitting in my daughter's garden, social distancing so I could see granddaughter celebrate her 15th birthday.

I saw all my grandchildren this week at last! Then yesterday my beloved went out for the day. I so enjoyed a day to myself after the last few months together. I caught up on the TV programmes I'd recorded and did some knitting. I'm someone who needs time alone.

Another beautiful grand daughter born yesterday.
Best news of the week.

My DH has gone in for surgery this morning. That might not seem like a good thing, but he has been in so much pain, it is a relief to finally get it done.

Myself, DD and 5 month old DGD went to visit my Mum for a few hours in her Garden. Baby was just born when we last saw her. It made her day to see her other than on skype. Hopefully it wont be too long before we can get the 4 generation photo with the eldest holding the youngest

@clareken Hope all goes well for you DH

Best thing to happen? I've stayed in isolation, been sensible, not bent or broken any rules, taken no risks - and I'm alive and well! It's a pandemic, not a garden party!

Like others - seeing DD1 and 2 ‘in the flesh’ in garden for champagne breakfast. DH managed to sit outside for half an hour - almost normal!
vampirequeen - how did you lose so much weight? I could do with losing 40lbs, but very little incentive at the moment!

What a lovely positive posting. Best things this week. A lovely walk by the river. Eating a Magnum ice cream. Speaking to my DD and DGC on Sunday. Finishing a really good book and discovering the Great British Sewing Bee. Enjoying good health and a good night's sleep

Congratulations to those with new grandchildren flowers

I was able to see my eldest GS on his 21 st birthday, albeit at a distance.

First visit to a garden centre.

A doctor, FINALLY, after months of asking, gave me some decent pain relief tablets that actually works meaning decent sleep.

Mouse, congratulations on your new grandson! flowers

Being told by my Oncologist on Wednesday that the tumour on my lung has disappeared (after treatment)

My beloved sister coming round on Tuesday afternoon for tea and scones with homemade gooseberry jam. We sat SD and had four hours of beautiful sunshine and catching up. It was so hard not to hug and kiss though. In the end she had to go as she needed the loo after several cups of tea!!! smile

Sitting in my daughter's garden on Monday, at a safe distance from my grandchildren. I took my own sandwich but did have a cup of tea...

annecordelia Fri 05-Jun-20 09:29:29

Great news x

Sitting in DD2's garden and seeing her and GC for first time in 11 weeks, such a simple thing meant such a lot.

T56ers Fri 05-Jun-20 09:32:37

I revived my interest in my sewing machine.

Aepgirl Fri 05-Jun-20 09:33:37

I’m still buzzing from being able to see my grandson on his 9th birthday, and have a cup of tea and birthday cake in the garden, even though it was for only half-an-hour because my son-in-law couldn’t join us as he is shielding.

This week I finished a hand pieced, over papers, patchwork quilt. It has around 2400 pieces. I have been working on it, on and off, for 7 years. The look down gave me the insentive to push myself to finish it.

Seeing one of my sons and his family on Tuesday, in his garden, as it was his wife’s birthday. Hard not to hug them all tho .....
