Thought I’d better hold fire in case Mick made it, but I declare this thread officially open 
Congratulations on your new GS Georgesgran, nothing like a new baby to lift the spirits 
Good morning from a not so bright NE.
Was a fairly sticky night with duvet on and off at intervals.
Sister and BIL brought the plants and everything required to pot them, he is a star, saved me having to rummage in the garage for things.
Sister and I had a glass of Champagne and BIL had a chilled no alcohol lager. He has promised to return and remove the moss that has built up over the last year.
GC went to meet with their other GPS yesterday for the first time in over a year. They live 250 miles apart so they met halfway, I hope they had a lovely.
Going to prepare courgettes and make a pot of vegetables with a tomato sauce, will serve me several times during the week.
The ? has made an appearance.
Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s bright but not quite sunny.
I have woken up with a sore and swollen face. This happens occasionally and I have no idea what I am allergic to.
Congratulations Georgesgran and happy birthday MrNan.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Happy Birthday Mr NanKate.
Congratulations and
to Georgesnan and hope your day goes better today Elizabeth.
Congratulations Georgesgran! How lovely to have a new baby in the family!

Good morning all from a cloudy S Hants, thanks Maw and a wave to Mick. Because it’s overcast I’ve had a good long sleep, no bright sun sneaking round the curtains.
Ashcombe how is Oldudders? Not heard from him for a while.
Happy Birthday MrNanKate ?? enjoy your day and Congratulations Georgesgran on the new addition.
More allotment today with MrJ; our local has reinstated the Sunday meat draw at 5pm, so we’ll pop down for that. I’ll have a chicken bubbling away in the slow cooker ready for dinner.
Have a lovely day, whatever you’re up too, sunshine and ???for all.
Good morning all from an overcast Yarmouth. We had such a lovely day yesterday. The National trust garden at Mottistone was a great find with a cottage garden feel to it and woodland walk which led to a fantastic view over the island.
Yarmouth was busy and bustling with people enjoying the sunshine.
Overcast here this morning, DH’s son is running in a half marathon, hope to see him as the course comes past here. He will meet us after with his daughter for lunch and we will then head home.
Congratulations Georgesgran on the birth of your grandson, a poignant time for you.
Happy Sunday all
Good morning all from a soggy Black country.
Thanks for opening up Maw and hello to Mick.
GrandMattie you sound like you've had a wonderful time have a safe trip home.
Congratulations Georgesgran
Nothing on the cards as yet today will see what the weather decides, enjoy your day everybody whatever it brings may you find some ?.
Thanks Maw. Good morning Mick if you are able to read this, morning all from South Lanarkshire where we have beautiful sunshine.
Safe journey Mattie, I’m glad you’ve had such a lovely time.
Congratulations on the new arrival Georgesgran.
Elizabeth1 I hope today is a good one for you.
No real plans here, DH is making noises about pressure washing the paving which has led to musings about where in the garage his wellies might be. I think I’ll go for a long walk.
Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.
Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s another warm sunny start to the day
A very big Congratulations to georgesgran , her DD and the family - such lovely new baby news. I hope your DD recovers well
We’ve got the DGC coming over for a sleepover tonight as there’s a day off school tomorrow for an in service day. So this morning I’m off to the shops to stock up the cupboards and think of something to make for tea for us all later. Might fall back on the traditional sausage, mash and peas...
Sounds like you’ve had a wonderful trip GM have a safe journey home and enjoy seeing the rest of your family
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?
Good morning all from Polmont. The sun is splitting the sky and it's warm (for Scotland) out. Congratulations Georgesgran on the birth of your grandson. Mixed emotions for you.
Today I'm off to an art workshop in the garden. My tutor holds these every year and only six people are allowed. I'm really looking forward to it and seeing her again. I made chicken tikka yesterday so I won't need to cook when I get back home. Have a good day all.
Cut and pasted from Mick
Still out so no Good Morning Sunday post for me anyway.
Good Morning Everyone,
Up earlier than planned its cloudy here in Brackley .
Yesterdays trip went to plan , today will watch cycling at lunchtime , followed by a nap,
Take Care,
Mick
Have a lovely day grandMattie and many congratulations Georgesgran on your new grandson.
Dull here in Cheshire - DS will be here for a cuppa after bell ringing with DH. Back to a familiar Sunday routine.
Will indulge myself with the rest of the posts later.
Hope you can all have a good day - at least have a day 
Wonderful news, Georgesgran, what a relief. Of course there’ll be some sadness too, but you’ll be able to see your DH live on through this darling baby boy. I’m so happy for you and your Daughter. How clever is she! ?? x
Good morning everyone. Morning Mick, wherever you are!
A rude awakening by two small children, one already dressed as Elsa, is not our normal relaxed start to the day! Once they were sure we were thoroughly awake, they have wandered off, leaving instructions for breakfast. ?
I had better get moving then ...
Good morning Auntyflo and all x
Good morning all.
Congratulations Gorgesgran, lovely news
Hoping for sunshine later, it is a bit dull at the moment.
Will be making shortbread and some biscuits ready for a coffee morning tomorrow . We will also pop
over for tea and a chat with MIL this afternoon.
Hope you all find a smile somewhere in the day.
Good Morning everyone, well done deputy Editor Maw, come back soon Mick…….. from a beautiful Mediterranean France day.
Going to be another hot one so sprinklers are on and pots already drinking!
Hope your day will be going back ‘uphill’ today, Elizabeth and your spirits too! Hope an uneventful hospital trip calms you corner and lunch can be a small celebration.
So glad your visit was good, Mattie and there’s been no family tension to upset you. What a gorgeous little bundle Iris is……amazingly pretty hair. Will you now be off to foreign parts do you think, Ash? It seems you’ll get the all clear to enter France from the middle of this coming week.
Have a lovely birthday, Mr Nan ??? and only happy days from now on!
Breakfast outside for me will kick off a gentle day today. Tomorrow haircuts and then out to some country friend for tea.
Have the best Sunday all you Morningmingoes. Take care of yourselves and each other. x
????♀️????
Good morning all from Welwyn, Herts where the sky looks rather cloudy and maybe a chance of showers later on. Hence my plan to wash the bed covers in the spare bedrooms will be deferred for another day, never do today what you can leave for tomorrow, I say!
Have the morning to potter on my own as DH is helping DS3 with his orders for tomorrow.
Will prepare meatballs for lunch with some rice and veg and finish off yesterday's soup.
Have to wait in for a delivery of nice earthware dishes that we ordered for DS2 and partner as a wedding gift, so hopefully they'll arrive safely.
Wishing all a pleasant and relaxed day whatever you may be doing.
Congratulations georgesgran, I’m delighted all went well, can understand your mixed emotions. Look after yourself today.
Congratulations Georgesgran I’m glad all went well.
Just to say our rugby match is on BT tv this afternoon, so any rugby folks watching I shall be there somewhere, in the Carlsberg stand (not our usual seats).
Good morning all from a sunny Suffolk coast.
We did more gardening yesterday so my back is still achey and stiff. So annoying when you want to get things done. ?.
I hope the rain holds off for you *amselerin . When do you hope your move to Uk will be?
GranMatty pleased your visit has been so enjoyable. Hope your travelling is problem free. ?
Ash I often wonder where I’ve left my car in a large carpark. ?. I must be more observant when I park up. ?.
A walk with little pooch and then more pottering. I want to paint a coffee table for the garden, so must find a comfortable position for me to do it. Everything seems to hurt my back!
Well I hope you all have a lovely day,, whatever you get up to.☕️????????????
Good morning from an overcast Durham. Last night DD2 was whipped into hospital and under a full GA now has a beautiful baby boy - 7lbs.
Such a relief (due to her disability) that both are safe and well. Mixed emotions that DH didn’t live see to see him arrive in this World before he left it.
Best wishes to all today and always.
Good morning everyone from a slightly grey East Northants, still at DD's. Showers forecast later.
Spent a lovely day just sat in the garden yesterday reading; we decided it was too hot for a garden centre visit. DSil very kindly set my new phone up for me, must now try and find my way around it! Had a lovely barbecue in the evening and shared a jug of Pimms with DD!
Big day today - we are going to watch live rugby! We went in the ballot for tickets and were successful, so will be watching Northampton Saints last home match of the season. We will be sitting in our 'bubble' and distanced from other spectators and spread out around the ground. Will be wearing my Saints top and cheering them on.
Thanks Maw for opening up, and trust all is ok with Mick.
