Good Morning Everyone,
Its a grey start but with a little breeze here in Brackley this morning .
Today , a nice easy day in with a small shop .
Yesterday I noticed the flea market in Buckingham was busy but the person I usually see was not there , so an antiques fair elsewhere I assume.
Take Care ,
Mick

Marydol Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos. Magical. ?To you all.

Grandmabatty Sun 09-Aug-20 10:58:44

Thank you for all the lovely comments about my painting! I've been doing this for a year so I'm still quite inexperienced. marydoll the wedding looks absolutely lovely and your garden is beautiful. What a perfect setting for a wedding. The cake is awesome too.

Kalu Wishing a Happy Birthday to your GD, and hope you all share a lovely Picnic celebration with her. She’ll be quite the young lady at 15 ???

Puzzler61 Sun 09-Aug-20 10:54:56

Sorry MaryD I assumed, and one should never do that.
I referred to the lovely lady in the photo and your Daughter and it’s not.
DIL to-be deserves to be photographed holding that baking beauty of a cake! Clever girl.

Marydoll Sun 09-Aug-20 10:51:27

Pittcity, my daughter was indeed wearing trainers, with her new married name embroidered on them! She has always been a tomboy. grin.
She has beautiful wedding shoes, but the grass was sodden after two days of constant rain. DH was walking about with a fork, poking holes to try and dry it out. sad

Lovely photos marydoll. Thank you for sharing them.
Your future DiL certainly is talented - the cake looks amazing. ?

Lovely day for all * Marydoll*. Glad it all went well, And alCongratulations.
Small tear from me too, slightly jealous, just wish my two weddings (grandchildren) were still to take place soon, one is next year instead of June and one 2022 instead of September., as our health too is not good only hope we can still be with them.
We haveour Diamond wedding in a couple of weeks , celebrations for that on hold.

Morning all from a warm and overcast South Notts. I struggle with this heat but will be going out very shortly for a drive and then the weekly shopping. Will read Good Morning posts later.
Hope today is good for everyone especially those with illness or worries.

Greeneyedgirl Sun 09-Aug-20 10:20:53

I am another Shropshire lass, we’ll have to get together Susan56 when things improve smile. It is overcast here as it was most of yesterday, and thankfully not stonking hot.

You all seem to know one another so hope you don’t mind me intruding but reading Marydoll’s post I just had to say, how lovely and uplifting. What a pity weddings can’t return to more simple affairs once more.

Thank you for the beautiful photos marydoll the garden looks magical and what a superb cake too!

Good morning All. I've attached one of the paintings I did at the art workshop in the garden. It was such a lovely day and the weather was perfect. Today it is cloudier but there are bits of blue so I'm hopeful. I have no plans today. I'll do some pottering in the house and garden. I hope everyone has a good day

What a beautiful painting; it's gorgeous.

Sar53 Sun 09-Aug-20 10:18:47

Marydoll I'm so pleased you all had a lovely day. The garden looks splendid as does that beautiful cake. Lots of happy memories xxx

Kalu Sun 09-Aug-20 10:15:52

Good morning all from a sunny but thankfully, bit cooler day in Glasgow.

Today is GD1’s 15th Birthday and we are looking forward to having a birthday picnic in the garden later. We were living in France when DD1 called to say she was in labour. I booked the first available flight to Glasgow later that day and GD1 was born in the early hours of the following day. I wasn’t prepared for the surge of emotion I felt when I held her for the first time and she continues to bring such joy to my life.

So pleased all went well yesterday Marydoll. I felt quite emotional as I raised a glass to you and yours last night and now, seeing the setting of an intimate special day, it sounds just perfect. Such precious memories.

Best wishes and Happy Birthday to *Mr. Mattie*?

Hope all is well with you EV

Have a pleasant day all.

Thank you Marydoll for sharing these photographs. Everything looked beautiful and sharing this with us will have lifted many of our spirits. You make sure now you have a good rest and put your feet up in that beautiful garden!!

gillybob Sun 09-Aug-20 10:13:17

We’ve got 15 degrees here on the North East coast right now Pittcity and I’m thinking of putting the heating on for DH .

Susan56 Sun 09-Aug-20 10:11:31

Lovely photos Marydoll.So pleased the day went well.

Pittcity Sun 09-Aug-20 10:07:16

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A couple of degrees cooler today... only 29°! I am doing as little as possible this weekend. DH will cook roast pork this evening as he can't forego his Sunday roast whatever the weather.
Looks like a wonderful day Marydoll. Was the bride wearing trainers? If so, it should be made compulsory for all big occasions wink.

gillybob Sun 09-Aug-20 09:56:53

Gorgeous photos Marydoll thank you for sharing .

I hope Mr Grammaretto is recovering well and will be home very soon.

Grammaretto Sun 09-Aug-20 09:53:02

It all looks perfect Marydoll I am so happy for you and your DD and everyone.
And what a cake!

Thank you for the photos.
I hope you can rest a bit today.

Back over here in the Scottish Borders, the temperature has dropped somewhat and may even rain I will go and visit DH for my allotted hour.
He is recovering but nothing is happening quickly and he is longing to come home.
Mustn't forget it was that same NHS hospital who saved his life twice before. Wonderful surgeons and all the staff.
One nurse yesterday is from NW China, another from Finisterre - both doing 12 hour shifts.

Good morning Mick and all

Another hot day here in S E Essex
?⛱

I spent most of yesterday going between cutting down two bushes (one on front garden one in back as GrandpaGravy had cut down a tree instead of the bush I pointed out, as I am a lady I will not repeat the conversation!!!!). The five year old GS was here all afternoon to swim with Grandma lots of squealing mostly from me!!!

So pleased your DD’s wedding day went so well Marydoll sometimes less really is more

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Urmstongran Sun 09-Aug-20 09:45:27

Gorgeous photos Marydoll and such a sunny day for the occasion too! Perfick.

JenniferEccles Sun 09-Aug-20 09:44:04

I am so pleased that you had such a wonderful day after everything you have been through recently Marydoll

It all looked really beautiful, and look at that blue sky!

Small, intimate weddings are really special, aren’t they?

Marydoll Sun 09-Aug-20 09:41:29

That's my future DIL, who is holding the cake she made. A very talented lady!
I will have to look to my laurels as chief baker. I think I may have lost my crown!! ?
