Good morning all from high cloud in S Hants. Well done to you and your team for a magnificent run Ashcombe à long wait, but worth it.
Enjoy Bordeaux Blue the horrific fires just south of there in the last couple of weeks have abated, hopefully you’ll visit the wine museum, a stunning building.
We have indoor bowls this afternoon, an introduction, new territory for me, MrJ is an old hand.
Enjoy your day all ??

Good morning from a slightly overcast English/Welsh border. Finishing a cup of tea in bed, and listening to Good Morning Sunday. Will get up shortly and get ready to go to Church. Will be spending the afternoon tidying up/decluttering. Have a lovely day all. Hi Gala

Good morning from a sunny Oxfordshire, I’m having a lazy day, which has been planned for me by my daughters, all I have to do is get dressed and go where I am told. Then back here this afternoon for my birthday tea.
Great pics ash , marydoll hope you feel better soon, try to rest! granmattie lovely that you are back in the swing with your quilting.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from W Kent where it feels rather chilly for the first time in weeks. Quiet day today, making casserole for lunch and hope to have a walk if it stays cool enough.
All the best

Good morning from the Black country slightly overcast at the moment, lost my first posting don't know what happened.
Roast pork for dinner but would love an invite to harrigran's lobster and duck sound so much nicer.
Enjoy your Sunday whatever your plans and may you all find some ?.

Good morning all, not much planned for today apart from a small local posh shop later.

Lovely photos Ashcombe, congratulations on such a successful performance.

Enjoy church Marydoll. I hope the travels to and from are not too wearing and you have stories to tell us tomorrow.

Good morning from east Yorkshire where it is sunny but with cooler temps.

Lots to catch up with now we are home. Lsundry, tidying, food shop etc.

Welcome to Gala and Forestflame
Enjoy your camping Susan you are brave!

I’ll enclose a photo of a ship that was in Llandudno Bay briefly yesterday morning. We wondered if it is one of the ones doing cruises around the UK?

Take care everyone.

Happy birthday Oops????

Good morning everyone.
It seems very quiet this morning after the week with the two little DGSs.
Missing the chatter and cuddles.

Lazy day for me but I shall put a wash load in and then I intend to spend the rest of the day drawing and painting.
Grandmattie your quilt sounds lovely. Do you find you forget the time when you get immersed in craftwork?

Happy Birthday Oops

Happy travels to Thor’s who are away . Thoughts with those who are poorly , especially Marydoll whose attitude is an inspiration.

Wishing all as good a day as possible.

Good Morning from a warm, bright, (still dry!), Cambs.,
Busy time here, as DD & DGDs coming to stay for a few days.

Happy birthday Oopsadaisy, enjoy your day. cupcake wine

Kind thoughts for you all.

Gala Sun 21-Aug-22 09:17:53

Good to 'meet ' you Urms ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A bright start to our South Yorkshire day and a late one for me. I woke at some unearthly hour and then struggled to get back to sleep. DD and I had a lovely walk around their local woods yesterday then I drove over to see the newly weds at their party. I didn’t stay - just long enough to have a (soft) drink to toast the happy couple, give them a gift and say hello to everyone. I knew there weren’t going to be many folks I knew and I can’t cope with a crowd at the moment. Today I will go home, do a bit of shopping and cook a roast pork lunch for DD and her menfolk later. They are off on a short break tomorrow.
Have the best day you can folks.

Happy birthday OOps. Have a lovely day!??

Good morning all from a much calmer, dry Glasgow, it’s even quite sunny with patches of blue sky.

Yesterday must have been DH’s best day so far since his OP. as we managed a stroll around the garden, deadheading petunias finishing off with sitting in the sunshine for cake and coffee. A perfect day, followed by watching The Midwich Cuckoos, a John Wyndham book I read many years ago adapted for a TV series. Worth watching.
A warm welcome to Gala and ForestFlame

Have a pleasant day one and all.

A very Happy Birthday Oops enjoy your special day! ???

Georgesgran Sun 21-Aug-22 09:38:53

Good morning from a bright, warm Durham - just as well as I’ve no heating or hot water until next month. Nothing planned, but I’ll do a long email to SinL in Cheshire and later visit a friend who is going into hospital for a brain operation. It was cancelled at the last minute, when they found she hadn’t been prescribed blood thinners early enough. Left hand, right hand?
?00ps have a great day.
Marydoll please consider, just for a little while - taking it easy!
gM my DDS would like me to move nearer them, but like others, I’m not ready yet and I find the whole idea overwhelming. How do you get a pint pot into a tea cup? I am going to use the dark nights to have a good sort out - it’s more the garage and stuff in the loft that’s going to be a problem.
Anyway, let’s enjoy the weekend if we can. Best wishes to all.

Kalu Sun 21-Aug-22 09:40:23

Just noticed it’s your birthday today Oops. Happy Birthday and many happy returns. Enjoy your special treat?
Sorry, I got your name wrong Forestflame ??‍♀️ One of my favourite shrubs too.

Morning all,

The sun is shining at the moment and I think we’ve had rain because the plant leaves look wet. Not been outside yet, so I don’t know what the temperature is, but it feels warm through the glass of the kitchen window.

No plans for today other than a bit of ironing, so will see how the day unfolds.

Happy birthday Oops, have a lovely day. ???

Your cruise sounds very nice, BlueSapphire and I’m glad you are enjoying it.

Whatever everyone’s plan for the day is, have the best day you can. Take care.
