Good Morning Sunday 21st August 2022

It's a cool morning here, bit of ironing and housework to do then out to dds for tea and play with gc . Love the costumes Ash .Hope everyone has a good day.

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 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 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 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 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 ??

Hi Gala! ?

Good morning from a cloudy with sun peeping out Black Country,

Finish packing today for my 5 day trip away with Mum. We are going to Great Yarmouth, but with day trips to Norwich, Sandringham Estate and Norfolk Broads.

Over to DD's this afternoon for a get together for DGD's 14th birthday which was yesterday, where she had 6 of her friends over for Pizza and Ice-cream cake.

Sounds like your run of performances was a great success Ashcombe

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday

Here’s Matt.

A short & sweet good morning everyone from Malaga as the little ‘wheel of misfortune’ is whirring on my iPad. Another gorgeous day ahead and it not quite so scorchio. Much more bearable - someone must have dialled down the thermostat!

Thanks for the photos Ash they’re great! Love your costume. ?

grandMattie I’m in awe. You certainly don’t let the grass grow under your feet. Please show us your handiwork when it’s completed. It’ll be quite professional I’m certain.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s 12* and cloudy.

Did nothing yesterday except have a walk around the park which was really quiet. Daft dug decided to have a paddle in the burn which is quite unlike her, fun to watch though.

Great photos Ash, glad it went well.

Hope you have a brilliant day Grammaretto.

Your cruise looks great Blue.

Breakfast is calling then I’m going to meal plan for next weekend when DS and family come to stay for our local hot air balloon festival.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Another warm, dry day here. 24° is forecast, just right.
I am covering lunch breaks on the gate at a Barbecue festival in the park next to our estate so I'll bring something home for our meal. DH is away and DS isn't fussed about a Sunday roast.
Love to all ? x

Good morning all from a brightening North Leicestershire. It is still quite chilly.

Having had a fraught few days we intend to take it easy today. Comfort food in the shape of roast pork for lunch!

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all, from a mixed weather Glasgow. Some sun peaking through the clouds.

Nothing much to report. We had a lovely overnight stay in Troon with DD and SIL.
However, I wasn't too well yesterday, a lesson, which I never learn, Don't over do things!.
DH and I had a large family room, with a sea view. What's not to to complain about? The WIFI signal! It was so bad, I gave up trying!

This morning I have to go to church, but getting there is a problem, as the roundabout at the church is closed. It's causing chaos in the town!
I'm way behind with my admin and it's annoying me, for I am a perfectionist and there are parishioners I need to speak too!
Apparently, the news on the street is that I am at death's door, my appearance should cause some excitement! ! ?

Lovely to hear the tales from afar, all those lovely memories, to look back on.

Wishing you all a pleasant day. ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry and bright, a few showers maybe due later
Not much planned for today, hopefully a catch up call with DS but that’s about it. DD2 will be popping round later to bring some of her work stuff. She works from home but will be using our house over the next week or so as they’re having their bathroom done and there will be a lot of noise and disruption.
Enjoy the rest of your special weekend grammaretto
A big well done with such a successful production of ‘Allo ‘Allo Ash and you look fabulous in your costume!
If you’re meeting friends or family or away on holiday have a lovely time and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from a bright & sunny Sefton. It has rained overnight.

Such a lovely welcome yesterday so am dipping my toe (or even a whole foot) in again.

Wow grandMattie what a HUGE sand dune. Had to look it up. Here in Sefton we have the largest (or maybe the longest? or both) dune system in England. It is a SSSI - home to red squirrels, natterjack toads & lots of other interesting 'stuff' too numerous to mention. And Formby asparagus!

DS1 & family here for lunch so better get a move on. Hope it stays dry then we can take our Dgd to the play park.

Take care & have the best day possible.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I will go to church later - one of the more ancient churches in the Benefice - for a Book of Common Prayer service. We are having lunch out today. One of our favourite restaurants where we haven’t been since my birthday in April. Another favourite restaurant which is only ten minutes drive away, closed last month. Such a shame but they just couldn’t get the staff. We might pop into a local garden enter and buy a new pot. The Rosemary plant I had for years, bit the dust and at the same time the pot became very frost damaged and disintegrated! Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning all from a wet Torbay!

Urmstongran asked for photos of my costume so I’ve included a couple.

Our two week run of ‘Allo, ‘Allo ended on a high with two wonderfully warm audiences for our final two performances yesterday. The generous applause and laughter enabled us to finish on a high. Between shows we enjoyed a bring and share buffet with fizz, along with the presentations to the directors.
With Covid induced restrictions jeopardising our first two summer plans to stage this play, it was a joy to see it finally come to fruition.

We are back at The Little Theatre today for a routine gardening and props sort out. Back to reality!

Every blessing for Sunday and I hope those with plans for the day enjoy themselves. ?????

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
Midway through a house party weekend with the main event today. I hope the rain stays off.
We had Indian takeaway last night after a busy day and afterwards a most amusing "game" of Hygge.
I am with Hollysteers and am not ready to move just yet though I admire gMattie's ability to get things done, including patchwork!
Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Your trip sounds wonderful BlueSapphire the photo is lovely. Good to see you are getting back into your patchwork * GrandMattie*.
Yesterday pottered about in the morning and a friend came round for a cuppa in the afternoon. This morning hope to go to church, no idea what I’ll be doing apart from roasting a bacon joint this pm
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from a cloudy NE, I think it must be cool out as the heating has come on.
I was doing some housework when my sister rang for a chat and kept me on the phone for an hour. She is now testing negative and has resumed all her usual outings. Her flat here in the NE has been repaired, walls replaced and painted, after the fiasco with the upstair neighbour's shower.
SIL is coming this afternoon and we will have dinner together tonight. We are having lobster as a starter and duck for main course, haven't decided on the wine yet.
Have a good day.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Today we will be preparing for a few days away this week with DD2 and family - camping? what were we thinking??‍♀️

DD1 and DGD are enjoying their girls trip to Glasgow.Yesterday they went to Blair Drummond safari park.

Have a good day everyone??

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and partially cloudy. It feels cool. Yesterday I had another breakfast out with a friend but my sciatica was sore in the afternoon so I didn't do much apart from the usual housework. I feel a bit better today. A quick trip to Aldi is on the cards this morning and I must start a painting/drawing as the exhibition is drawing nearer. I'll do some Spanish too. Roast chicken for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick and all from a bright northwest coast.
Off on a coach day trip to Stratford on Avon, I have my sarnies and flask of coffee ready. Last time I was there I saw Anne Hathaway’s cottage, which was lovely. It will be a long day, will probably snooze on the coach.
You sound very organised GrandMattie. In some ways, I feel I should downsize after being widowed, but can’t face it…
Hope you all have a nice Sunday and thoughts to those with troubles.

Morning Mick and all

Another warm day here in S E Essex, off to a dear friend’s for lunch later will be good to catch up.

Pleased you are enjoying your cruise BlueSaphire, I admire your quilting talents and patience grandMattie

Wishing you all a peaceful and relaxing Sunday.

?‍♀️??‍♀️?

Good morning all and it’s warm and calm here on the Suffolk coast.
Terrible night as we always give up our bedroom for visitors so they can have the en-suite. Dh and I in the spare room with a smaller bed and no toilet. I came downstairs for a couple of hours and then went back but still couldn’t sleep.

We had a lovely evening at our nephews Opera in the Forest. Beautiful evening and setting. The company is called ‘Opera Anywhere’ and they travel around the country. HMS. pinafore last night, so a lighthearted performance by professional singers. Wonderful.

DB and SIL will travel home today after lunch and DB2 will go home tomorrow. It’s lovely having them here (apart from the sleeping arrangements. .???.

We’ll have a walk along the beach and relax in the garden. No pressing arrangements .

Hoping you all have a good day. ?
