Nothing much gets past you FannyC ?

I have read, and re-read, fulltimenana's post.
Nowhere does she lay claim to the picture being hers.
A quick check of the detail would show that this garden was shown not in mid-February, more like mid summer.

Perhaps we should be advised to append to these types of pictures -
Picture shown for illustrative purposes only'?

Tina, I know! I smelt a rat immediately!

Oooh, Fanny!

I used to love a line of nappies drying in the sun. Not a very common sight these days, I suspect.

Yes a line of white terry nappies looks lovely don't it ?
Your right not a common sight ,probably only in my garden will you see that ??

I haven’t read any posts yet apart from Michael’s but it caught my eye that it’s Mr Blossoming’s birthday. So Happy Birthday to Mr.Blossoming.
Michael will you be watching the Volta in the Algarve? I’ll have to try to get it myself but we can’t always get the right channel. I did notice a beautiful blue sky in the photograph as they crossed Portimao bridge earlier.
Have a good day everyone. I’ll try to catch up with you all later.

Wishing your DH a very Happy Birthday Blossoming! ???

Good morning Mick and everybody. It’s dry in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 11°C.

The forecast isn’t good for today, it’s Mr. B’s birthday today and we’re hoping to get out for a walk later.

A difficult day for you grandMattie flowers.

I must go and give Mr. B his presents, thanks to those who sent birthday wishes. I’ll read the thread properly later.

Wishing you all the best possible day. May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief. ?

Good morning from a sunny south coast/West Sussex.

We are heading to Scotland in our camper van after lunch (DH has a meeting this morning). Not looking forward to encountering storm Dudley. We are stopping near York overnight - in a Travelodge as it’s too cold for camping in February and the van is packed full of stuff to take to our new flat which we purchased to be near our daughter and family when we’re up there.

Another sad day for you Grandmattie but it must be a relief to have finally got to that stage.
GrannySomerset I will be thinking of you and your family on Friday and hope all goes as planned.

Maria59 - great news that you can visit your DGS.

Lins I hope you can find a solution for your sleeping problems.

I’d better get on with packing and tidying up or DH will be back and nothing will be ready.

brook2704 Wed 16-Feb-22 10:19:27

That’s such brilliant news Maria I’m so pleased for you and to hear that your DGS is recovering well - enjoy all those hugs and kisses!

Jane71 Wed 16-Feb-22 10:11:41

Hello from the north west where it's quite windy, and expected to become even more windy. Indoor painting for me today in the spare bedroom. We're expecting visitors and it's looking shabby.
Very funny post Maria

Maria59 Wed 16-Feb-22 10:07:01

If only

Maria59 Wed 16-Feb-22 10:06:10

I am beyond excited today as after 11 weeks I am allowed to visit DGS in hospital. He is getting stronger day by day and we hope he will be home soon. Meanwhile I will be dispensing lots of hugs and kisses today

Good morning from South Yorkshire.

Storm Dudley arrived here earlier than forecast - the wind has been gusting and howling since 4am this morning. At least it’s dry for now, though looking at the sky now, that might change.

GM ? - a difficult day for you.

I don’t plan to be out and about in this strong wind, so will crack on instead with some indoor chores and then settle down with my book, I think.

I hope no one suffers any damage to their property with these strong gusts of wind.

Take care, everyone.

Georgesgran Wed 16-Feb-22 09:33:20

Good morning from Durham where Dudley is already in full swing! Having had 6 ridge tiles replaced last week after Malik, I’m hoping there’s no more damage today.
At home for a friend calling this morning, then giving 2 small bedrooms a thorough Spring clean later.
?GM - a difficult day.

Chris3 Wed 16-Feb-22 09:27:57

Good morning all from a sunny but very windy South Yorkshire. A quiet day today I hope. Himself had gone to the opticians. Looking after grandchildren for a while after school.
Thinking of you grandmattie ?
Have a good day all x

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Bright and breezy here today and quite mild. We are just outside the edge of the storm but Eunice will affect us we think.
Wednesday morning coffee meetup in town and a haircut this afternoon. I'll bring a few bits in so we don't have to venture out if the weather does get bad.
Love to all ?x

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s very blowy!
The new bit of fence is going up as I type. It’s been a tricky week for out door work but it will be finished by lunch time.
I had a lovely meet up with a friend yesterday and rejoined RHS so I could walk through the gardens at Harlow Carr. So many varieties of snowdrops. The gardens are lovely and it was good to see so much ongoing work.

Maw hope the car is sorted quickly and cheaply.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from a sunny, windy W Kent. Cat sitting today as DD2 moving house. Discovered the cat not too keen on Ella Fitzgerald so a day of silence here, she is now settled in her basket and nodding off.
Best wishes to all.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 16-Feb-22 08:51:27

Morning Muck and all

Calm before the storm here in S E Essex, I gave an early appointment so will come back and read your news later.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

harrigran Wed 16-Feb-22 08:51:23

Good morning from the NE where we have gale force wind.
DS came yesterday and we managed a walk, bitterly cold but it blew the cobwebs away.
Bed linen washing today, it is ironing the duvet covers I am not keen on.
Stay safe from Dudley.
