Happy Easter from a glorious E Kent. He is risen!
I shall go to the early service this morning to celebrate Easter. The church will be full of flowers. DH will watch DD on their livestream. He will enjoy that,
Not a bad day yesterday, though DH was very sleepy. He enjoyed the sun.
Nothing much today. Probably a Skype with the DGDs.
Have a happy day, throw off all your cares. Carpe diem. ???☀️?☀️☀️???

Good morning all from dry north Wales where I’m enjoying my morning ☕️ after the little tweeters started their morning chorus and the dratted seagulls joined in with the descant....?

Belated birthday greetings to Grandmattie - I love venison after our friends sent us home from their farm with a joint last month?

Sad news at PG Towers as my dad’s youngest sister passed away on Good Friday after a very short illness - I managed to get him to the hospital as she breathed her last and we were able to reminisce with my cousins about her kindnesses during our childhoods - and there were so many! ? to a life well lived and loved?

Good to see Jax able to get out and hope more negatives are on the way - a peaceful Easter Sunday to you all x

Wishing you all a joyous Eastertide from a fine, if somewhat chilly start in la Sarthe!

Our last full day here before catching the ferry from Ouistreham to Portsmouth. Yesterday, I surprised my car by giving it a thorough clean inside. It is probably the first time since I was here last September. DH was busy mowing again - an endless task currently.

Another sunny day yesterday saw us eating outside but not for dinner by which time it was cooler. The cuckoo could be heard and during our stay, I’ve seen a pied woodpecker in action, too. DH heard and saw a pheasant in the garden and a couple of deer at dusk. Apart from one house opposite, we are surrounded by agricultural land with some woodland beyond.

Condolences to Pantglas2 and it’s good to hear things have stabilised for Mr.*grandMattie*. May the peace and hope of this special day fill your hearts with gladness! ?✝️?

Good Morning everyone from a clear sky 9.0c south coast. What a lovely few days we are enjoying in the sunshine.

Happy Easter to all and kindest regards too. Hoping for better news from all those coping with the ill health of their loved ones or themselves.flowers

Duck on the menu for us today which is one of DH's favourites. I find it a bit rich - but it is tasty.

Need an easy day after a poor night and it may well include at least 40 winks.

Take care everyone and enjoy the day. sunshine

Morning Mick, Morning All. A bright start to our corner of Somerset.

Enjoyed a walk along our little river yesterday. Not sure today, see how we feel, Mr C is weary at the moment.

Sad news pantglas. My condolences to you all.

Hope this Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from Shropshire and a Happy Easter to you all.

We are looking forward to seeing all the family today.

Glad things seem more settled for your DH GrandMattie.

Safe journey Ash and olddudders.

Sorry to hear your sad news Pantglas?

Have a good day everyone??

Good morning and Happy Easter from Malta where we are still waiting for the sun to come back to us. Yesterday’s rain deposited Saharan sand on everything outside so I see a lot of cleaning on the cards this coming week.

My new baby grandsons turned one week old yesterday and I’m happy to report that both are doing well, off oxygen and having their mum’s milk. Jamie has yet to have cuddles from his parents as he still has too many wires attached, but Jax is able to have cuddles every day. Both of them open their eyes when they hear their mum’s voice. Two little fighters for sure.??

No plans today apart from watching the men’s final from Monte Carlo. Should be a god match.

Wishing you all a very happy Easter .?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry but a bit cloudy. Yesterday was warm and sunny but a breeze got up which cooled the temperatures a bit.
Condolences to you and your DH pantglas
A quiet day planned here with nothing much on the agenda except pottering in the garden. With a bit of luck I’ll settle down later this afternoon with my kindle in the conservatory and have a good read
Hoping everyone meeting up with friends and family has a lovely day - enjoy!
A Happy Easter to all and take care whatever the day brings ?

Morning all from West Oxfordshire, and happy Easter. He is risen indeed, alleluia. I was hoping to go to church this morning but I had a bad tummy in the night. I’ll see how I feel later. No 2 son and daughter are here until tomorrow. I have Easter eggs for them and dinner will be leg of lamb. Lots of chocolate based items too - chocolate cheesecake, chocolate cake… Yummy.???

Good morning and Happy Easter from our holiday hotel in Skipton North Yorkshire. Absolutely beautiful here. A canal boat cruise and a visit to the castle today.

Happy Easter from sunny Colchester.
DD1 has another run this morning. As her DH is working she is dropping her boys here soon. There will be six of us for roast beef at lunchtime.
I'd better hop in the shower.
Love to all ? x

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a fine dry Hull though a little cloudy.
grandMattie ?
Pantglas so sorry to hear your sad news?
Bella your grandsons will come on so quickly, precious boys. ?

Today we have a busy day. It’s a full house with a buffet and Easter games but just being together is lovely. The GC will love it and be thoroughly spoilt.
Have a wonderful Easter everyone.
Here are some flowers for you all. I really appreciate all your posts every day and love reading your news.
Hope Easter Sunday brings many moments of joy??

What a wonderful Easter morning to wake up to; the sky is clear and the sun is shining. Birds are singing and the fields are full of pheasants and deer.
A lovely family day yesterday at the local wildlife park, a big picnic together and much laughter.
Today a quieter day at home, in the garden I expect and a long walk with the dog, before roast chicken tonight. Wishing everyone a happy Easter Sunday.

Happy Easter from the Black country, sun just breaking through.
Out to lunch with the family and then back to DiLs mums for tea and cake, and an Easter egg hunt for the grandchildren 6 in all.
Condolences to Pantglas and family flowers
Enjoy your Easter Sunday and may you all find some ?.

Grandmabatty Sun 17-Apr-22 07:58:10

Good morning and Happy Easter to you all. Grey skies in Polmont again but mild (for us) at 11°. Pantsglas my condolences on your loss.
Yesterday was a lovely catch up with a dear friend over breakfast then some housework.
Today I will be going out shortly to deliver Easter flowers to friends and family, a tradition begun by my parents many years ago. Later I'm going to my daughter for dinner. Have a lovely day all.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 17-Apr-22 08:00:54

Morning Mick and all

It’s due to be another warm and sunny day here in S E Essex, so looks like the bouncy castle will be out along with the cover off of the tub I imagine much laughter from the GC good job the neighbours are friendly.

Sorry for your loss Pantglass

Happy Easter Day ??

BlueSapphire Sun 17-Apr-22 08:01:01

Good morning everyone, and a very happy Easter to all from a bright and sunny Northampton.

Hoping it stays fine as DS and family are picking me up at lunchtime and we are all going over to DD's for a barbecue, and then all staying overnight. It will be lovely to have the whole family together, but there will always be an empty seat, and DH will be sadly missed. DD has plans to take me to a vintage and antiques fair tomorrow.

Wishing all a lovely Easter Sunday.

Gingster Sun 17-Apr-22 08:06:30

Good Easter Day to you all and it’s another lovely start here in Essex.

I finished my book yesterday, so will start another today. I have ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ on my I pad and haven’t got round to reading it yet, so I think I’ll try that.

Roast Pork for dinner - haven’t had pork for a long long time.

Dog walk and a relaxing day is on the cards. Lovely!

Bellasnanna - lovely to hear your little ones are doing well.
Little fighters! ????

Condolences Pantglas A life well loved! ❤️

Enjoy your last day in Sarthe- Ash and Oldudders. Safe journey back tomorrow ?

Shazza - lovely flowers, Thankyou. Have a fun-packed day with your family. ?.

Enjoy your river cruise Bigbertha - sounds wonderful. ⛴?.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter ?✝️???

Scentia Sun 17-Apr-22 08:07:08

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where the sun has got his hat on, he may need a cardy as well though?
Off on a bike ride with my friend in a bit, had to abandon yesterday as I had a puncture and no tools to fix it, DH gave me a lecture on cycling when I got home.?
Hope marydoll is feeling stronger and brighter and GM so good to hear mrGM is brighter too.
Have a happy Easter Day and don’t eat too much chocolate ?❤️

Jaxjacky Sun 17-Apr-22 08:10:04

Good morning from a slightly cooler S Hants. Sad news pantglas ?
Safe journey tomorrow for you both Ashcombe hope you’re car is not too shocked!
Your day sounds delightful BigBertha1 love canals.
Family here later for bbq, it’ll be dry, but not as warm, eggs for all, apart from for me, I don’t like chocolate, which the GC’s don’t understand!
Have a peaceful, joyous Easter Day all ??
