Good Morning Thursday 9th December 2021

How lovely to see you EllanVannin, looking forward to hearing your news

Bonjour Grandmafrench hope all is well in your world ?

Welcome back EV! It’s too late to read all 4 pages - I’ll look at everyone else’s news later.
Light cloud and breezy, not sure about the temperature yet.
I hope the day is kind to everyone!

Good Morning all from dry Harrogate
GD! had just arrived to take doggy out with DH (it is actually her dog)
Good to see you back EllanVannin.
I await my Sainsburies shopping any moment now. I have no particular plans today apart from cleaning and tidying.
That object Marydoll could be an adjustable bath for Dollie's dolls, or maybe fits into a half kitchen sink to hold cutlery? Apart from that I haven't a clue. Personally I think it's been given to you because no one else has a clue and they thought you would work it out?
Hope you mattress and chiropodist didn't clash Mick
Great news Farview you'll be looking forward to seeing them.
Have a great day everyone.

Welcome back EV - lovely to see you. Though I would just like to point out that my leg is fine!

NannyJan, I had been wondering where you were - please keep posting.

Welcome back EllenVannin !

Good morning Mick and everybody. The sun is shining in my corner of Lancashire, I wonder how long it will last? The wind has dropped, finally. My plans for today are clearing up in the garden with Mr. B. There doesn’t seem to be any major damage. The usual physio exercises and cycling (indoors) later.

Wishing you all a calm and restful day. Healing thoughts to all who are under the weather. ??



Ooh I simply had to pop back and welcome EV back and I’ve got some crumpets out to celebrate ?

And another bonus GrandmaFrench is here too from sunny climes - I’ll be waving at you when I pass next Wednesday on my way to mi Casa ???

And a thank you to Glammananna too for updating EV with all the news ?

Same for me Grandmajean ?
Looking forward to reading your posts Ellanvannin. Crumpets are a muses’ favourite too. MrM had treacle on his yesterday.?
? Thank you also from me to Urms.

Good to see you back EV and Grandmafrench.

Yes a very big well done and thank you to Urms for EVs return ?

Hi grandmafrench ❤️❤️ Lovely to see you

Good morning from a much brighter Black Country.

Have been taking a break from posting, but just wanted to say welcome back Ellan Vannin so pleased to see you back posting, and that you and your family are well

Many thanks to Urmston for getting the ball rolling for your return.

I am off out for the day now. Have a lovely day everyone.

EV (thanks Urms and HQ), plus fatgran57 and a visit from Grandmafrench - both from across the waves. Truly this is Christmas.
Who needs cheese and wine, folks?

This day has just got better! So pleased to "see" you Grandmafrench, I've missed your great posts, hope you are well.
Urmstongran, you really achieved good things when you instigated getting EV back, thank you & all who were involved.

"It's beginning to look like the season of good cheer is here"!!

Morning from S Lanarkshire a poor night’s sleep so just scanned and will read with my coffee in an hour or so but did catch a glimpse of EVs return so want to join in the general delight, welcome back!

Hey GrandmaFrench what a lovely surprise to see you too posting this morning! ? ?

Popped back and found that one of my favourite posters Grandmafrench is back ! you have been so missed. You were one of the first to make me feel welcome when I was very new at the beginning of the year and I never forgot that. Please stay.

That’s so kind, but no - sorry. Here just to celebrate EV’s return but sending you all warm wishes from the sunny and blue and where there are enough Flamingos ? to make all your Christmas hopes come true. Stay well. x

Lovely to see you here too Grandmafrench another lady who’s been greatly missed. I hope you are staying !

Thank you to Urms for making it possible for the return of EV ?

What a great Christmas present from GNHQ - Ellan Vannin is back! Welcome Ellan - you have been missed as you will see from all the posts. Well done Urms - you deserve a medal for services to Gransnet!

❤️ a red front door - we used to have a similar cheery red at our old house Annapops - the colour was called pillarbox red. The neighbours to rib Himself about it though because he supports Man. Utd!
?

Oh GrandmaFrench how lovely to see you posting. I really hope you a considering returning to share your wonderful tales from France. ??

Well done Urms from me too.

Oh EV ! How simply wonderful that you’ve returned. Had you any idea how loved you are ? Well, now you do. So pleased you’re well, the family is (almost) all together, and (hopefully) your vacuum cleaner-phobic cats are still keeping you busy with their antics. With the return of the Queen, let the GM celebrations - and crumpet eating commence! Sending you love and good wishes. x (And really well done, Urms)

Good morning all from a frosty but bright County Durham. I too welcome back EV as I too enjoyed reading her posts. Another here with no idea concerning MD'sgift.
Yesterday proved to be quite productive. My homemade wreaths were taken to the cemetery and I managed to complete the family ones for their front doors. Mine has taken pride of place on my newly painted door. This door must be at least 35 years old and I had considered replacing it with something more modern but DH decided to give it a fresh coat of red paint and I love it. I've never had a red door before and with my wreath it looks so Christmassy. You must share a pic of your DIY wreath notagran. I would love to see it.
Off to see Christmas trees displayed today at local venue. Having visited in 2019 it should be just as imaginative as it was then. They have even created a bug hotel tree, should be interesting!
Have the best day you can everyone.
