Good morning from the Peak District

How worrying for you Jax, poor Imogen. Sending a virtual hug and hope you get some good news soon.

We are dodging showers and storms here. Have been soaked several times, had to abandon our walk on Sunday as a thunderstorm moved in. By the time we got home the sun came out and it was glorious. I have explored walks from the door and we will probably venture a bit further this morning. Yesterday I did a 2 hour walk with the dog, back indoors by 8am!
Spent rather a lot on a new pair of walking boots but worth the money, they are incredibly comfortable (and waterproof).

Might go to the Peak Village shopping centre this afternoon for a mooch.

Wishing all a good Tuesday

Good morning all, dry at the moment in South Lanarkshire.

Jaxjacky sending a hug, worrying and waiting for news is awful.

Good morning all from Torbay, where the day is starting with bright skies which aren’t expected to last!

I’m safely home after rather a difficult journey, due to the middle stage being delayed by 45 minutes in arrival at Birmingham New St. The Cross Country train from Edinburgh had experienced problems due to signalling failure in Yorkshire. A long wait culminated in a last minute platform change, after which a member of staff walked the length of the crowded platform, announcing that they had no information to offer about our train! Helpful! In other words, “I know nothing!”

When it arrived, my reserved seat was in a coach towards the rear so I had to battle through crowds of other weekend returnees and holidaymakers to reach it. One door to my carriage was for staff only (why?) resulting in 10 of us attempting to board, most with luggage! They’re not kidding when they warn about the gap between train and platform. After a final change at Newton Abbot, I was very relieved to be met at Torquay station by my kind friend!

Generally, I’m an advocate of rail travel - my DH (*olddudders*) worked for BR all his life - but yesterday was challenging for all concerned! Beechnut: you’re right, we should count our blessings.

Jaxjacky: poor Imogen, I’m so sorry to hear this and hope the news is better this morning. Such a worry.

Have a good day, everyone, and please take care. ?

Good morning from a grey EKent. The promised rain didn’t materialise but the gales are building up! We do get a lot of wind this end of the country, either funnelling up the Channel or down the North Sea.
I had a dreadful night with reflux playing up so shall be very tired today. I’ll try to fit a nap in somewhere.
T’ai Chi this morning and supermarket this afternoon. Hope everyone has a peaceful, gentle day. ???☀️???

Good morning, very wet. I’ve been awake for ages. Imogen had a large seizure last evening and ambulance to hospital. Waiting by the phone.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside it’s damp after the pouring rain last night as I went to bed.

My parcel came yesterday and I’m even more pleased with my new trousers than I was looking at the picture.

I’m swimming today. It’s so nice to be able to say that once again and to read and look at your lovely photo’s of what you are doing with your families and friends at long last.

Take care all ?

Good Morning Everyone,
At the present moment here in Brackley its dry but cloudy , expecting rain.
Today , will see my usual trip by bus to Bicester ,and then return for the Tour De France on TV .
Yesterdays Bargain hunt as mentioned was from Brackley Antiques Cellar , looked recent as only the owners , contestants ,and others were in the building , normally its known locally if they filming in there , as the like to have a few people wondering about .
But under the circumstances , it was probably the ideal place to make a programme .
Take Care,
Mick
