Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking like a bright and sunny start here in brackley this morning .
The after covid experience staying in Warners Nidd Hall was an experience of changes as to how they now operate .
On arrival , got of the coach , given room number plus key , booked my card in at the reception as its all contactless , meal wise located to a table with a set eating time , which was by passed , several changes there no gift shop and those who just want B & B is now available.
Day trips Tuesday did Harrogate , felt breathless with climbing , on Wednesday we did York for a city it was hot and airless causing breathing probs, and Thursday I stay in Hotel so I could watch Commonwealth Games Cycling .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from sunny but fresh feeling East Yorkshire. Welcome back Mick

What an exciting day ahead Grammaretto you won’t want to let go of that first hug.

We have to decided we are going to put an offer in on the lodge we looked at yesterday. We loved it so fingers crossed ?

Today DH will be watching football at lunchtime. There is a food festival on our Marina today so we may go there this morning and I will linger longer if he returns home.
The family are back from holiday so we shall probably have a visit. Can’t wait for those hugs too!

Take care everyone.

Good morning everyone from a bright blue-skyed Northampton, sunshine wall to wall again.

Thoroughly enjoyed 'Where the Crawdads Sing' yesterday evening; even though I knew the ending, a tear was still shed... I thought it kept pretty much to the.book. Followed by a lovely meal out with DD and our wine club friend.

Nothing planned for today, or for the next 10 days, come to that, as I am now isolating before my cruise. Any shopping I need will be done on line, as I intend to avoid people and busy places. Will sit out and read this afternoon, then water the garden before my steak dinner. Just waiting for my newspaper delivery so that I can attack/attempt the cryptic crossword.

Enjoy Saturday everyone.

Welcome back Mick and good morning all from cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Take it easy gM, you’ve been through so much, perhaps it’s time to rest.

Harrigran, thinking of you and hoping your tests have a positive outcome.

How lovely Grammaretto, enjoy every minute.

It was so good to see some of our volunteers in our shop yesterday along with my colleague. I took them a box of doughnuts and they had beautiful flowers for me, I was very touched.

Afterwards DH and I had a wander around a nearby antiques centre before going for coffee and cake in one of the many garden centres in the area.

I’m thinking of this day 38 years ago when my son came into the world, happy memories.

Have the best day possible everyone. ??

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a fine dry Hull.
Mick I’m pleased you had a nice break and your deputies did a great job opening in your absence.

Today we have DS here for a full English then he’s going off to a wedding. We are going to have a walk through Beverley and tonight going to the casino with friends. They do a lovely meal and I’ll have a little try on the roulette but I’m to tight to put much on.

I read all your news while I was in bed. You all have so much going on too many to mention individually. Enjoy your Saturday spending time with family enjoying lovely meals together. Safe travels and relaxing holidays. Hoping those feeling poorly or worried enjoy some relief today ??

Good morning all from an unsettled looking sky in Glasgow.
Good to have you back Mick, wise decision not to push yourself further and rest up on your third day.
I feel your excitement jumping off the page Grammaretto?
Have a wonderful catch up with your DGS after such a long absence.
Fingers crossed all goes well for you harrigran?
Look after yourself and rest up today Marydoll

Hopefully a good day for all is ahead with much love and hugs to those with worries and struggles, whatever they may be.

Another good morning from S Lanarkshire, it’s really cool (cold) here.

Glad you enjoyed your visit baubles I bet the doughnuts went down a treat!

Happy for you Grammaretto!

Harrigran, good luck with your tests, I hope they can be arranged soon and you can relax a bit.

Off now to a First Communion, a lovely boy who has been very ill and missed the group event for the last two years so this is a special joy for his parents.

Best wishes to everyone for a good day, ???

Good morning from a bright N. Bucks.
I’m late this morning due to a bad night. Yesterday evening my left hand began to hurt and it has swollen all downs the thumb and that sort of pad at the bottom. Very painful and I can’t hold anything . Hope it goes quickly.

MIL will be here this afternoon and for dinner. Luckily I did the food prep yesterday so will just need a little assistance from DH. He has just made a reasonable job of drying my hair.
I too enjoyed’ Where the Crawdads Sing’ yesterday. It seemed very like the book. Worth watching if you haven’t read the book too.

Happy journeys, visits or doing not muchness to you all and thoughts as always with anyone with struggles.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. More cat caring today and a lunch out. I keep dropping off to sleep in the afternoon and then having a short night so must try and stay awake!
Best wishes to all.

Empty day ahead but a beautiful morning so maybe a gentle potted in the very dry garden. I lack the energy to set myself a task so may revert to admiring the achievements of the Games competitors instead.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s cloudy in my corner of Lancashire, the sun is peeping through. It’s currently 16°C. Hope you enjoyed your trip Mick.

We are going to an anniversary celebration this afternoon. It will be outside and the weather forecast is looking good.

Have the best day you can everyone ???

Good morning,

Another sunny but breezy morning. If it wasn’t for the breeze, it would be very warm.

Hedge trimming is my plan later, if I can talk myself into it ?, though first a trip out to post a birthday card.

Hope you enjoyed your trip Mick despite some changes to the routine you normally expect.

Will catch up with all the posts later.

Take care everyone.

Good morning everyone from a sunny south coast. Hosepipe ban here as well so I have spent most of the week taking the large water feature I inherited apart so I can use the reservoir to store grey water from the kitchen. There were several cracks that had to be cemented over to stop it leaking so I was pleased to see my fill up using the hose yesterday was all still there this morning! My many pots will be needing it!

Hope everyone has a good day and those of you who don’t like the heat manage to stay cool.
