Good Morning Sunday 6th November 2022

Thank you for the update about Ashcombe, grandMattie. That’s really good news.
👍 baubles. They’re amazing and highly effective.

Thank you for the update on Ash grandmattie.Wishing you a speedy recovery Ash💐🙏🏻

Thank you for the update GM I’m sure she will be glad to be back home. Wishing her a speedy recovery. 💐

Such a relief. Ash 💐👍

Good to hear Ash news and kitty I hope your first outing goes really well.

(btw, fab crafts, baubles.)

That’s a relief grandMattie. Now rest ash and back to full strength very soon.

That’s very good news! Thank you Grandmattie. Hope Ash continues to do well.

Thank you GrandMattie for the update on Ashcombe

Thanks Mattie for the news about Ash, I hope she recuperates well.

Nannagarra, the poppies are mainly crocheted with a few knitted ones too. The ones on the castle railings are tied onto camouflage netting. The local army cadets helped to put it in place, it’s surprisingly heavy!

Thanks for the update grandMattie

Thank you grandMattie I was beginning to be a tad worried 🙋‍♀️

Thank you for the update Mattie

Just had a message from Ashcombe. She is now out of hospital and doing well, under the tender care of olddudders. She thanks everyone for their prayers and good wishes.

Popping back to see if there is any news from Ashcombe 🤞🏻

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Nice day, about to put washing on the line and that’s about it as far as today goes. Drove to Chester and back yesterday. My close friend beset by eyesight problems is diminished and depressed, but we had a nice light lunch by the walls then walked the rows.
Got mixed up with the firework time later on so had an Italian and by that stage my back had given up so we took a taxi back to his house across the river rather than the usual walk.
About 10 I drove back the fifty miles or so in the dark and mist which I didn’t enjoy and have never enjoyed driving, even as a young gal.
A momentous occasion grandMattie! Glad you are walking further Mick and thoughts to Ashcombe🌼

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s damp, grey and gloomy in my corner of Lancashire.

It being Sunday not much planned here other than the customary bacon rolls for brunch and I’m making a slow cooker curry for this evening.

Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful Sunday wherever you are 🍂🍁

Good morning all from Glasgow where it is currently 9deg. and dry with patches of blue sky.

A late start for me this morning as I slept like a log last night catching up on nights of broken sleep.

Pleased to hear you are finally having a day out kitty. Enjoy the freedom.
My days of chainsawing are over Baggs I am now consigned to a leaf blower, hedge trimmer and a tiddly hand saw. I agree, leave the sticks for the birds to enjoy.

My project today is to change the look of a floor length mirror using one of my favourite Rustoleum spray paints, oil rubbed bronze for the broad frame finishing it off with a single strip of antique bronze studs. 🤞

Hoping a good day is ahead for all.

It's very frosty this morning with a must which follows bonfire night .I received videos of bonfires Ds and Gc attended were very good felt I was there without being cold. Bedding in washer . We are having a full English later ,pulled pork and veg this evening.Kitty enjoy your outing safe travels to all .Urms i am very jealous.

Am confined to the kitchen while there is no heating but a kind friend has asked me to tea and television later so will not freeze. Church first though and a few phone calls to make this afternoon. Will be thinking of gMattie this morning - such an important occasion and it’s great that she can be there. Sorry to note that Cornergran is not feeling well, and hope she and the rest of us have a good enough day.

Wow, wow, wow baubles! Your second photo made me think of the Tower of London display in 2014.
How did you produce those magnificent poppies?

Forgot to mention the photos of that lovely leaf art, Gingster. So clever, and 'smile-raising'.

Good morning all. Sefton Weather Watch here. Was having a sneaky lie in but as Nannagarra hasn't given a weather report I will have to go & have a look. Hmm. Looks like a bit of this & that. A bit of cloud, a bit of blue sky, a bit of breeze. Take your pick Nanna. Been raining overnight though. The sun must be having a day off.

We enjoyed yesterday's visit to the theatre more than we anticipated. Jekyll & Hyde is a very dark story but the amateur cast put their all into it. A lot of talent on that stage.

Off to have a nose around our brand new Shakespeare North theatre this afternoon. There will also be an artisan market, a lantern parade & other things I can't remember.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from a grey damp Angus coast. I do so agree with you, Karma, about Mick's thread. It's so warm and friendly and lovely to start the day with.
Sar I have dance envy! What kind of dance does your DGD do? Mine does contemporary. When I first watched it many years ago I have to admit I didn't enjoy it so much, but now I'm almost as much 'into' it as she is! (Not performing, I hasten to add😄 - I stick to calm and elegant tai chi!)
What a lovely position your DD's house is in, grandmattie. I too enjoy watching the weather's movements from my house, and sometimes I feel that I'm living in two different days at the same time, depending on which direction I'm looking in! Enjoy your pride in your DD today, and I know your DH will be with you all in spirit.
I'm off to meet DancingGD and her friend for lunch today, and my niece is going to join us too. It will be lovely to see them all and have a good catch-up.
Yesterday I spent thinking about and practicing what we are going to do at tomorrow's tai chi workshop. After so long now working with a small class it will be strange to work with a larger number again. It will be good exercise for the peripheral vision! I'm looking forward to it.
Lots of travels and family get-togethers for the grans today. Have lovely times everyone, and in the absence of the heavenly 🌞, make sure you carry your own with you x

Good morning Mick and everyone from showery grey Carlisle. I hope it's going to perk up and give me a chance to get in the garden...I'm getting restive in here!
A happy piece of imagery to start the day with karmalady and I'm also impressed by someone who can get up at 5am and cook! I have to start the day gently.
Mick does set me a good example, he gets out and about and is getting some exercise in, which is what I should be doing even if there are plenty of interesting things to do inside.

I hope you have a good tour Brook. DH and I have been all over Spain, one of my favourite countries, so much of interest. Extremadura is one area we really liked, wild and empty, not a tourist in sight. For a long drive, I recommend the Ruta de la Plata from Seville up to the north coast but it needs a few days so you can linger and enjoy.

Have a lovely day everyone and wishing all the poorly better times.

Good morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

Glad you’re feeling stronger Mick.

Congratulations your DD Mattie.

Safe travels Brook.

Photos of some of our poppy displays. We’ve moved on to Christmas now, I spent ages yesterday joining large granny squares into strips which will be used to cover a metal cone shaped tree which the fabricator has just finished. More angels to make too.

Have the best day possible everyone.
