Thank you, grandMattie and Grandmafrench. My sense of smell is poor due to repeated sinus infections but two passing neighbours confirmed it had a scent.

Scentia I am positive I have done a jigsaw puzzle of that exact scene ?

Happy Birthday Sar ?

Good morning from a very dull north Surrey.
Not sure about the leaves for tree peony Ash
Set alarm for gym visit but after a very busy shift yesterday followed by difficulty in getting off to sleep, my body does not want to go. I am sure a few cups of tea and some paracetamol will sort me out.
So instead of hitting the cross trainer I am sat in bed with my first cuppa of the day.
This morning I am getting my hair cut and highlighted (that will lift me).
DH and I have been together 23 years, married for 21. Yesterday, for the first time my DD gave him a Father’s Day card with a personal message of thanks for his support to her and the DGSs, he is so chuffed.
Plan is to visit mum and dad this afternoon via the garden centre to get some more bedding plants to fill a few gaps in our beds.
Early night to catch up on missed sleep ?
Still need to read yesterday’s news from you all. Wishing all a happy Monday and hope that we see some of our missing posters back here soon

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it looks a little grey out there.
Work today and then tonight I will join our local running club as I discovered they have a walking section and I figured I need to make some friends so this is the start of my new social life post Covid.
The picture here is of the hill out of Staithes which I walked up lugging my suitcase yesterday. I think I will be ok with a three mile walk tonight, unless they do that power walking business??
Take care my friends and smile if you can.❤️

Good Morning everyone. That’s a Liriodendron or Tulip tree, Ash. We were fortunate to have two in our gardens in Normandy.

Very warm here but no rain overnight. I think with one storm yesterday, we possibly used up our entire annual allowance. Biblical doesn’t describe it!

Off to see a Specialist Rheumatologist this morning for an opinion on DH’s knee. If nothing else we’ll be able to get his opinion on swimming…..good or bad for his problem.

Have a good Monday and still take care all.
?‍♀️??

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s cloudy and windy.

I had a chat with my friend yesterday and will see her later this week.

A few errands to run this morning and then I’ll probably do some sewing. I cut out a top yesterday afternoon from some left over material.

I noticed yesterday I have a lot of honeysuckle out. It’s climbing over other plants by the fence. I’m going to see if I can take a cutting to put by my arch as the one growing there is very poor.

Have a good day all ?

Good morning from a dull, grey Essex by the sea where it is forecast to rain all day. Not an auspicious start to the longest day which happens to be my birthday.
DH and I are going to a favourite pub for lunch, nothing else planned although I'm sure my girls will ring at some point during the day.
I hope Monday is kind to you all and you find a ? somewhere on your travels xx

I think it is too, Ash. Especially if it is scented.

Good morning, everyone from an overcast Torbay for the summer solstice!

As the weather brightened in the late afternoon yesterday, I took a stroll through our nearby park where I saw this flower, one of several, growing on a tree. It has been suggested that it’s a tree peony but I would welcome the opinion of our gardening experts.

This afternoon, our “Move It Or Lose It” class reopens in a different venue to enable social distancing. We were last together in December so I’m expecting joints to be rather creaky but looking forward to seeing our inspirational teacher and the friendly participants.

I hope it’s the start of a good week for you all. ?

Oh! and it's Midsummer day today - after this the daylinght will shorten by 1 minute per day...

Good morning from a grey E. Kent. We are promised Biblical rain today.
Cleaning and a bit of sewing on the cards.
Hope everyone has a kind day with plenty of smiles [smiles], flamingoes and metaporical sunshine.
