Good morning everyone from a grey and overcast ☁ Northampton.

Had a good walk yesterday around the village scarecrow festival admiring the handiwork and imagination put into the displays. Will find some photos later. Then back to a friend's for coffee and a chat.

Yoga this morning, then change the beds; need to put clean sheets etc on the beds the DGDs will be using at the weekend. Then a quiet afternoon starting my new book.

Take care all.

Good Morning from grey East Yorkshire.

Grandmattie my heart goes out to you and can’t imagine the pain in your heart.

Yesterday we spent a lovely morning with grandson and took him to the park before dropping him home. Then DH and I went for lunch to a place we've had drinks many times but not food. We were there last weekend and saw people having a Sunday lunch and it looked so delicious - that’s why we tried it. Boy it didn’t disappoint. It was so tasty and a very good choice of veg came with it. It’s my birthday in a couple of weeks and are thinking of going there for my birthday meal as we enjoyed it so much.
Later in the afternoon DH went to ds bar to watch his team play so I got a couple of hours peace ?

Today nothing much planned I am just catching up with housework etc.

Thinking of everyone with ills and worries ?
Take care.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where we have a forecast of 28°C with light rain ☔️ and a gentle breeze. The afternoon looks to be dry though so I think we will head out somewhere, maybe on the train, later.

Enjoy Monday all who can. x

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s dry and cool.

Spent time yesterday cleaning a buggy which has been in DD’s garage for several years so we can pass it on to DS whose little one’s buggy has bitten the dust. I’m hoping the smell of vinegar will have disappeared this morning.

Today will be a bit of this and that, dog walking and some shopping then I must try to get back to my crochet which I put aside to get on with other things.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day. ??

Good morning! Not such a good day yet, but we plug on.
Thank you all for telling your children you love them. No doubt there must have been some very surprised people! ? You have been so kind, my online family. Thank you ?
We are up and down, crying and laughing, many lovely reminiscences. Life will get better.
Love well. Catch those flamingoes ❤️?❤️?❤️????

Good morning, everyone, from a chilly start in Sarthe.

grandMattie: I’ve been in contact with all three of my children over the weekend and followed your thoughtful recommendation to tell them I love them. They were very saddened to hear of the loss you are suffering. Holding you in my thoughts and prayers. ?

harrigran: I do hope your DH is warm and fed now. It must be so hard for him and you when visiting isn’t permitted.

Thank you for the warm-hearted comments about DGD''s specialist ballet session which she loved, being particularly inspired by a workshop on extemporisation with an ex-member of the Royal Ballet. She will have much to share with her regular dance teacher later today. Like others here, I would have liked to have taken ballet lessons but my parents couldn’t afford it on top of the piano lessons I was already having.

DH continues to improve with much less pain now, I’m relieved to say. We are certainly over the worst, I feel.

Have as good a week as possible with light shining in those dark tunnels that some are travelling along, like the light in Alizarin’s mirrors! A novel idea! ??☀️

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is wet☔️
Alzarin your garden looks lovey.
Off to work shortly, we are fairly quiet at the moment. I have to take my DGC to view their new nursery tomorrow and purchase the DGS new uniform! I am so excited for him.
We, DH, DD DSiL and the children are all off on holiday on Friday down to SiL family caravan. I hope DD and SiL don’t do lots of ‘debating’ as they call it, I call it arguing? they have been warned!!!
Have a good day folks and keep smiling ?

Good morning from a gently damp south Cornwall where I dreamt my son had made a full size horse from iron and I was admiring it, when I woke up. It was a beauty. It's semi dark out but the mirrors on my patio wall are reflecting the sky. Revived a wasp yesterday with a saucer of sugar water. Hopefully it won't bring its family back to thank me. No idea what today holds, maybe a boat trip for the sea air. Have the best day you can.

Good Morning everyone from a dry Severnside. I am hoping it stays dry as I have a tradesman coming this morning and house openings have been requested on the letter.

I spent a lovely day with Beechnutella yesterday at a Country Fair where we saw lots of nice things and I bought a bag. I did get upset when she gave me some news about someone I am fond of.

I hope everyone’s day will be as good as can be and that your DH is feeling warmer harrigran with his supplies from home.

Morning Mick and all who follow. I'm still in London enjoying my little venture back into holiday world. Currently listening to seagulls skwalking, police cars wailing, trains arriving and departing and loving the contrast until I return to my tranquil life back north in a few days.
