Good Morning Saturday

Good morning all from north Surrey. Overcast but a warm day is promised which is good news as we have a BBQ with friends this afternoon. We shall be arriving late as I have an eye clinic appointment. Requested by me as I am having intermittent blurry vision, maybe due to change in eye drops.
My foot is holding up, seems better if walking on it so will keep pottering.
Wishing all a good day/weekend, so much better for the improved weather.

Oh my I’m awake early this morning so can join the early birds on here. I’m not much good with trees Ash but pleased GM and Beech have assisted!
It’s good that your appointment went well yesterday mick take care when out and about
We’re just outside Aviemore for the weekend in a little cabin on a campsite in the woods. Today’s forecast is great - warmish about 19 degrees and sunny so we’re going to pack a picnic and head out walking. There’s lots of trails around here so not sure where to yet .. DH has got a bit of a dodgy knee just now so it might not be that far today. Might have to leave him sitting on a bench minding the sandwiches ... ?
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it looks like a good day ahead.
Off to take DGS to his activity class in a while.
Yesterday DD and I took a trip out to an antiques centre in Heanor. It was amazing dnd do much more affordable than I expected. I will certainly go back when I have more money!
Take care my friends and enjoy your weekend.

Defo beech! Well done Beech! ?

The gremlins have it in for me and they’ve turned them through ninety degrees!!

.....and again! I’ve reduced them in size each time but still no luck! This is the smallest resolution available so if this doesn’t work I shall sulk!!

The leaves match me ?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s cloudy and damp. I think I should have kept my mouth shut about buying a parasol.

I hope your happy with your hospital news Mick.

If the weather stays the same as it is now I shall do some sewing. If it dries up and no more rain forecast I shall get on with my painting outside.

Best wishes to you all and hope you have a lovely day ?

I included photos with my first post but they’ve failed to appear so I’ll try again!

If the leaves match beech, then beech it is, Ash. The shape suggested it - but I’m not very good on identifying trees!

Good morning from a bright E Kent. Once the high cloud burns off , we should have some sunshine.☀️
Glad everything went well at the hospital yesterday, Mick, and good to know that the op is available if/when you need it!
Took my old friend out for a cuppa yesterday afternoon. It was the first time she left the Home since March 2020! She was exhausted.
Same old, same old today. Have a good day everyone. ???☀️??

Good morning from a promising looking day in Torbay! I’m amazed that a fine Bank Holiday weekend looms but pleased for the holidaymakers and those in the hospitality trade hereabouts.

I’m glad your hospital trip was a positive experience, Mick, but please take good care of yourself, especially on public transport.

Thank you for the interest shown in my photos yesterday and the kind comments. (DH says I’m like a collie dog because I thrive on praise - don’t we all?!) I took a photo of the bark, grandMattie, which matches your description of a plane tree but I think the leaves suggest a beech.

Another day in which I shall be waiting for my friend in hospital to be released after knee surgery. She sounded downcast yesterday when she rang to say her blood test results had caused her to remain for another night.

I hope those with worries find some comfort and you all enjoy the weekend. ☀️??
