Good Morning Sunday 21st August 2022

Good morning all from a bright and sunny East Midlands; sorry but I do not often stop by in the mornings and leave a comment but I do read the thread later in the day.
Your cruise sounds lovely Bluesapphire, I have fond memories of France from countless holidays in the past.
Your patchwork sounds amazing grandmattie, keep up the good work.
Have the best day possible everyone and do take care in whatever you do.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset.

Quiet day yesterday, finally caught up with the financial stuff. What a difference it made to have no interruptions. A gentle day ahead. We plan a walk around a local lake and coffee in a garden centre before home to a film. We both felt we needed a couple of quiet, stress free days.

There are permanent bus service cuts coming here Mick, villages will be left with no service. Sounds a good day Bluesapphire with another interesting day ahead. When we cruised I always loved the sail ins. Your new patchwork sounds very intricate grandmattie

Hope Sunday is gentle with us all.

Good morning from yet another brighter day in E Kent.
Rubbish night, couldn’t get to sleep then woke up at very silly o’clock. I’ll certainly have a nap this afternoon.
Glad you are enjoying your cruise, Blue. Look out for the “Dune de Pyla” on the Gironde; the biggest, highest, etc., sand dune in Europe.
Did very little yesterday, apart from sort out a valuation for the house to obtain probate so I can sell said house.
Finished choosing fabric from my stash and cutting out squares for the little patchwork I’m making. I’ve made half the squares, I now need to line with wadding and backing then quilt them before assembling them. There are 24 squares and I have made every one of them different, never repeating any fabric!
Much the same today. Church first thing, then yet another empty.
Be joyful, love well and much. Carpe diem. ??❤️?

La Rochelle yesterday.

Good morning from a beautiful day here just off the French coast approaching Bordeaux. The sky has a rosy pink glow, and good weather is forecast.

Had a short sightseeing trip to La Rochelle yesterday morning, then spent the afternoon on deck in the sunshine enjoying my book. Then after dinner I watched the ship's resident singers as they presented an evening of songs from the musicals - what a young talented group they were.

We arrive in Bordeaux this afternoon, then I am on a panoramic tour of the city.. It will be interesting sailing up the the Gironde river to get to our berth.

Have a pleasant Sunday everyone.
