Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, dry and cold here in brackley this morning.
Yesterdays bus trip to Bicester was chaos with a accident just prior to Junction 10 of M40 causing tailbacks southbound on A43 added journey time , with more delays going into Bicester as people were heading for Bicester Village .
Today , the first part of my break with a coach trip to Weston S Mare , the coach firm holiday arm have got the whole hotel , with a Xmas dinner tonight , returning tomorrow but we have a break at Gloucester on the way tday for the Victorian Xmas market .
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning all from frosty Harrogate. Have to admit I feel like death warmed up! Didn't go to last night's party, but sent DH, so he enjoyed himself. apparently all the neighbours were there! I just wasn't fit. I have started myself on a course of antibiotics, so hopefully will see an improvement in a day or two.
Your trip sounds lovely *Mick` - enjoy it!
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from West Sussex. No snow here but bright and frosty.

DD3 has had Covid, she thinks, but test showing negative apart from what she thought was a very faint line yesterday. Don’t know how they will manage DGDs over the weekend. The 3 year old is non-stop action.

I have to think of something to take for a ‘bring and share’ lunch. Needs to be something vegetarian - I forgot that when I was counting on contributing soup based on chicken stock.

Carols by candlelight later though no-one can read the words of the carols by candlelight so electric lights will have to be on too!

I am meeting up with former work colleagues on Monday morning but the hostess lives on top of a hill on the far side of town from where DDs live so I hope the snow will not reach the south coast. I was going to drive to DD3’s on Sunday night and stay over (we now live further along the coast) but worried now about catching whatever she has. But if I am mingling anyway it probably make no difference.

Thinking of you Marydoll and others with long and short term health conditions that make life a hard struggle.

Hope all who can, enjoy Christmas preparations and festivities (no I haven’t written any Christmas cards yet 😨)

Good - -morning- - afternoon, Michael and all GNs. Enjoy your outing, Mick. Wyllow has given you our weather - it’s just started to snow over our side! At least it has meant a slight lift in temperatures. I’m very late to the party today. I slept in until 10 a.m. (a first for weeks) and then pottered about helping (within my limited capabilities) DD to sort out the spare bed for DS who is coming down today to take over from her. GS and his dad came yesterday evening to have dinner with his mum and I. He ate 2 helpings of dinner, a large individual trifle, a large piece of carrot cake and finished my trifle……. it was like watching The Tiger That Came to Tea!! Let’s hear it for large sprawling teenagers!
Have the best day you can folks, and all who are travelling, travel safe.
