Good morning Sunday- O Michael, where art thou?

Good morning from a bright Essex by the sea where the sun is trying to shine. So much better than yesterday when it didn't stop raining all day.
I'm feeling a lot happier today, thank you for all your lovely encouraging comments yesterday, and to one gran in particular who sent a pm.
Love your quilt GM, I'm very impressed.
Not much happening today, we may get out for a walk and we have roast gammon for dinner.
We watched a good film last night 'Dark Waters', based on true events, worth a watch. It's on Amazon Prime.
Have the best Sunday you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning all from Inverness where it’s been a very cold night and there’s crisp crunchy snow underfoot outside. Thanks for starting the day GM, hoping mick is ok and can get back with us soon
I’m so impressed with your quilt GM it’s beautiful, such a talented lady. It must be so satisfying to be able to make things like that. I can’t and I never could when I was younger either usually coming near the bottom in my needlework classes at school. I can knit a bit though but it’s pretty basic things like baby blankets, hats and tops etc that I did when the DGC were younger.
Nothing planned again for today, probably a short walk and then a lazy afternoon. Although DD2 has given me some children’s things to list on eBay so I’ll have to get on with that sometime too.
Hope the day is kind to everyone whatever you’re doing and take care all whatever the day brings ?

GM. Thanks for the information, I will do that.

Scentia, I am not experienced. I only started patchwork barely a year ago. It is just confidence! If you want classes, look on the “Denman at home” website and Pat has patchwork classes for £5. She is a pretty good teacher.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is cold and damp.
Off to take DGS for our constitutional walk this morning.
Our friend who is only 35 but ECV has been called for his jab in Nottingham so they are getting on well over there.
I had a practice at smocking on my machine yesterday, that’s harder than it looks!
I can’t stop thinking about that poor young mum to be who Mary knows? they deliver the baby and it takes some pressure off her body so she can beat this awful virus.
GM I do love the quilt, when I am more experienced I will have a go at one, I will take a look on YouTube later and see what’s involved.
Hopefully you can all find something to make you smile today, take care my friends❤️

Good morning, grandMattie, and others who follow, from a dry and peaceful Torbay. Thinking of Mick and hoping he is well.

The quilt is beautiful, grandMattie and the cartoon amused! Isn’t it frustrating when photos don't immediately appear on here so you try again and ..... never mind, like the NY song ... “so good they named it twice”!

Yes, NanKate, signs of Spring do help. I was pleased to buy tulips and daffodils from my local greengrocer yesterday. How uplifting to have had a visit from your son, Viridian and a relief to contact your cousin, Beechnut.

I’m amazed to have slept for eight hours, apart from two brief loo trips. Another early Sunday morning service beckons for which I’m the accompanist so I mustn’t linger.

Prayers for the expectant Mum with C-19 and all who struggle with health and other worries. ✝️

Fab quilt gM ?

Morning Beechnut

Morning grandMattie and Viridian and All.

A beautiful sky here in South Bucks.

We are going for a walk this morning around the grounds of NT Cliveden. We wear our masks and keep well away from other walkers. Last time we saw plenty of snowdrops and a few daffodils. Spring is on it’s way.

Toad in the hole and veg for lunch today.

Hugs to all who need them ?

Welcome to the newcomers.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s frosty and getting light which is a delight.

A lovely quilt Mattie. I hope you show us the monochrome one.

I haven’t heard from my cousin since before Christmas so I rang her yesterday. She told me she’d had her jab and I was glad she was also ok as she only does landline phone and letters. She is old enough to be my mum.

I binge watched Traces yesterday afternoon, nodded off in the evening then watched a programme on the Mamas and Papas.

I’ve a few birthdays in February so I’ll sort out and make cards and letter write today.

Thinking of you all with worries and hope today you feel better. Stay safe, warm and well ?

Photo went awol...

A smile for today... (actually, it was in yesterday’s Telegraph). ?

Hello gM and all from a dark, wet south Cornwall. Lovely quilt!! Had a joyous, out-of-the-blue visit from eldest son yesterday. We rarely have time together on our own. He brought his precious, rare books on the history of the Thames, which we both love, and we pored over them until he was called back home to be a dad! The delight of it will last me for days.

A gentle day today, contemplating and praying. I have a few things to think about. Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.
