Good Morning Thursday(New Years Eve)

Cold & Frosty in Surrey. Pretty to look at but when I went out to top up bird feeders it was freezing! Staying in all day.

Marydoll I am sorry to hear you had a bad night. I hope 2021 brings you better health and we might even get to meet up ! Take it easy x

Oh Moggie, what a horrible situation to be in. I do feel for you but can offer nothing other than sympathy because it doesn`t seem as if they are the sort of people you can appeal to. Stay strong x

Hello this very snowy Hogmanay from Central Scotland ! All the best to you and yours in2021

Good afternoon from a cold dull Cambridgeshire, very frosty start but the sun is trying it's best to shine.

Just wanted to thank all of you for letting me be part of the lovely kind and peaceful thread , I have shed many tears at your sadness and laughed out loud at some of your story's . Please may it be kept going forever

Take care all of you and Happy New Year to you all , 2021 just has to be better than 2020 .

Good afternoon to you all,

It's a very frosty day here in South Yorkshire with no sign of it lifting just yet.

Just wanted to wish you all the very best for 2021, with the very keen hope that it will be an improving picture for us all as it moves on. Like you all, I won't be sorry to see the back of 2020.

This thread has been if huge comfort to so many of us and long may it continue. Thank you, mick for keeping it going. ?

Take care, everyone.

Ooooh, Moggie that is sooo distressing. Hope the council chuck 'em out, though more likely a slap on the wrist!! What are the chances of you being moved?

GrandmaFrench you have said what all of us feel about GN, and thank you Mick for starting off this post.
Marydoll hope you have a more comfortable night and back to your bright cheerful self tomorrow!

Good morning all Grans and I hope you all have a happy New Years Eve and that 2021 will be a far better year for us all...Not difficult!!!
Mick I hope she only clips your toenails and not your toes. I find that my toenails have got very thick and consequently difficult to cut. I had my first and only pedicure in Vietnam 3 years ago. The girl who was doing it actually laughed when she saw my thick toenails and called her boss who also laughed. I told her just clip a little at a time... which she did. I was so annoyed at being the butt of her jokes that I did not leave her a tip.
I hope all Grans with worries and health problems have a peaceful day. Happy New Year.

I would like to thank everyone for their unfailing support for me and my vicissitudes throughout this most peculiar year. Like everyone, I think that GMF ?? Has put our thoughts into the perfect words. Thank you.
Goodbye 2020 and good riddance!

Good morning. We had snow since Sunday night and since being cold it has not melted. Had some more snow last night. I used to go for a walk but I have not been afraid of falling. Wish everyone a happy new year even we are all mostly in lockdown. x

Oh dear Moggie, that’s no good. Big hug.

Good morning Mick and all from dry dull Anglesey.
What a lovely post Grandmafrench, I would like to echo all that you said.
Good news Bluesapphire.
Moving picture Urms, I was holding up okay until that reduced me to tears.
Thank you all for sharing your warmth, compassion, humour and love throughout the year.

looking out of my window on the corner of my housing estate .i can see the seagulls and other birds ,but theres nothing really to look at...the grass is white and stiff ...and i can feel the cold through the vent., still having problems witrh my noisy neighbours .noise from 11pm till early hours 3/4 am . have reported them to tenancy officer and keeping a diary.. was woken up 3 times last night by high pitched voices and slamming doors..am so tired ....apart from that .glad when we get out of tier 4 ,cant see my brother. which is so depressing he lives at the seaside...

Well, here it is. An end to a year that has been nobody's favourite! Let's hope that 2021 will bring us some freedom. I will willingly wear a mask for ever and wash my hands until they're raw if only I can visit and hug my family again! This Hogmanay that's what I wish for everyone in the coming year because without them life is very empty indeed.
Grandmafrench your words say it all so beautifully.
In spite of everything there have been many bright moments in this past year for which I am grateful and one of those was joining this happy, encouraging thread. So
a very big thank you to Mick for starting it and keeping it going. ???. It's such a lovely way to start each day - and while away half the morning!
Bluesapphire so happy to hear of your "all clear". You must be so relieved. Marydoll for the first Hogmanay you may rest up today without feeling guilty - you deserve it. Thank you for all the bright, cheerful and funny posts that you have given us in spite of your own ill health and suffering. ??
And I'm forgetting to mention the weather on the Angus coast!! Well, yesterday as the sun set, the snow fell. I genuinely can't remember the last time we had snow here - a good few years ago. Today it has rained, and the snow is back where it belongs - on the hills. More importantly, today is DGD1's 17th birthday! From a tiny scrap in an incubator to a truly beautiful, inside and out, young lady who towers above her mum and Nanny - she's our wonderful miracle. What she wants more than anything now is driving lessons and to pass her test, so as soon as Covid permits, the 'L' plates will be up! What a positive note on which to enter a new year.
Best wishes everyone! ?????

Good morning from the Sefton coast where, like EV across the bay, we have had hail stones. Grandmafrench has expressed exactly how I feel about all you lovely Gransnetters, so thank you GMF. Sending you hugs, flowers and a bigger, brighter light of hope for 2021. ?⛄️??

Good morning from North Lancs. The dusting of snow had disappeared by the time I got ready to walk. It’s still really cold, but at least my car isn’t frozen up like yesterday. There’ll be a lovely view right across Morecambe Bay once I get to the top of the hill in the park.
Today’s job-finish sorting my wardrobe. Thank heavens for audio books to keep me company.
Now we’re in Tier 4, the food I bought for my DD family ‘bubble’ visit which isn’t happening, will last me all week!?

Good morning all from Tier4 Bolton...beautiful outside with lots of snow ...well we all got through this awful year and we will get through the next few months until the vaccines are done and there is hope ?...
marydoll..look after yourself..and same to everyone else with illness and worry ⚘⚘
Just off to collect antibiotics from the pharmacy after telephone appointment with the doctor..really ripped my finger on barbed wire yesterday...what a dope!!!
Bye bye 2020....best wishes to all of you for 2021..?⚘?

Good Morning all from sunny but very cold Harrogate - I have put a wash on - ever the optimist!! ! Yesterday my DH slipped while walking the dog. Just hurt his dignity and his bahoochie!! Today i need to make some more of my cereal and also more brandy butter (you've guessed, still eating the Christmas pudd)
That's good news Blue Sapphire a good start to next year.
I'll come back to read the rest of the posts a bit later

Meanwhile Happy New Tier to you all

Some lovely posts this morning with the usual uplifting one from grandmafrench . They're all so full of meaning and hope x

Should have said in Cheshire!

Chilly but quiet. All melting slowly forecast of snow overnight has not happened. Hoping for a walk but went from Tier 2 into Tier 4 yesterday.?
Happy New Year.

Relief for you, Blue x Georgesgran and Cherry you’ve made me cry and that’s not the plan, lovely people. I’m reading no more this morning. Getting a grip, but so wish we could all meet. One day, maybe.
xxxxxxx

Morning All

Bright, sunny - and bloody cold here in the north of Norfolk.

May go for a walk around the block later - or just stay in and start the Christmas jigsaw.

Good morning everyone from the north Kent coast where it is grey and very cold.

Might go for a walk later, but got a bit spooked yesterday on our constitutional along the seafront by the number of people, many of whom have no intention of changing direction as they head straight for you. Think we will stop walking by the sea for the foreseeable future.

Sorry to read that some have been struggling with health and worries; best wishes to you for better health and less worries next year. Brilliant news BlueSapphire; you must be so relieved. Enjoy your fizz.

Thank you all for your company during this year; for your humour, support and bloody-minded refusal to be beaten by this dreadful virus even under the most despairing circumstances. I wish you and yours health, relief from worries and concerns and a light for the path you tread through 2021.

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
BlueSapphire that’s great news! That should send you into 2021 with a smile ?
Jax we have t bone steak too, with a lovely red wine bought in the Loire in 2019.
As it was said earlier , health, wealth and happiness to all of us for 2021.
