Good morning from a dull but dry NE.
All family safely home from their holidays.
Sister and BIL visited and we got to hear about their time with their four GSs, the boys had a week of outdoor activities in the Lakes. BIL in his 70s was up in the treetops with them, braver person than me.
Son in law's birthday today, my goodness he is closer to sixty than fifty now shock
Enjoy the weekend but do take care.

Good morning from West Berkshire, looks lovely out there at the moment.
Looking forward to lunch out today and a family visit this afternoon.
We think that we have a mother and baby muntjac living in our garden as they keep emerging from the same bush at dusk every evening. So lovely to see them together.

Wishing you all a peaceful day .

Good morning from sunny Derbyshire.
We had a lovely family meal last night and have a family party all day in my sister's garden. Hotel breakfast first.
Going to be dry and bright but cooler than of late so mustn't forget my cardi.

Love to all x

Good morning Mick and all who follow, grey day again here in Oxfordshire, so pleased that your days are returning to normal Mick and nice that a bus has a name on that we can all relate to.
Spent yesterday having a good clear out of the shed quite a pile of stuff to go to the tip when the Bank Holiday rush is over, although as our Garden bins haven’t been emptied for a month, I guess the queues will be long for a while yet.
After a tidy up of the vegetable patch I called it a day and read a book without feeling guilty!
Roast today with DD2, nephew and dog, apart from that an easy day.
Hope all who follow have a good day and manage to find a smile or 2 along the way.

Good morning everyone from DD's in a bright East Northants. Looking forward to going out to breakfast/brunch this morning.

Had a nice day mooching around the shops yesterday; unfortunately I could not find anything I liked to spend my vouchers on. I may have to spend them online. But we had delicious coffee and cakes! I did get a new shoulder bag, though, and stocked up on toiletries.

Came home and sat in the garden with wine, reading, and I managed to finish my book.
Later we had a Chinese takeaway.

Glad you had a good day yesterday, Mick.

Hope we all see some sunshine ? today.

Good morning from another grey day. I wish we could have either rain or sun - this relentless greyness is depressing me.
Glad you both had good days yesterday, Mick and NanKate.
We walked round the “fair” yesterday. Although it was cheerful, there were fewer than half the stalls, but was busy with the band and closed streets. It’s on for another two days. Perhaps there will be more on then. But it’s a start back to normality.
Virtual church this morning . Must think of something for dinner.
Have a good day, full of small pleasures and joys. ??☀️☀️☀️????

Good morning Mick and All.

I was wide awake at 5.00 am, far too early so am now glugging tea.

Looks like a nice day here in South Bucks.

How great having Captain Sir Tom Moore’s name on the bus. That’s good Mick that you could acknowledge someone you knew who has clearly survived the virus.

We visited our friend in hospital yesterday. Her brain was razor sharp at 97 and we chatted for 2 hours, she wore me out ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Looking like another dry day here in brackley this morning .
Yesterday , was an interesting day for me , I went Buckingham and then Bicester , returning to Buckingham later .
Had a wonder through the flea market , my usual cafe was closed for the day so went and ate elsewhere , anyway tow things happened whilst there.
The first was a Stagecoach double decker bus on the X5 Bedford to Oxford run , it was in the new Stagecoach livery , but also carried a name on the front and entrance to the bus of local hero or national hero " Captain Sir Tom Moore" on it
the second was seeing someone who lives in one of the villages close to Buckingham , who I have not seen for over 18 months , once recognising her I put my hand up to her as like we used to .
Take care,
Mick
