Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
DS stayed another night after a long time setting up humax box etc for new tv. My wiring system is a mess and he spent ages underneath the house trying to sort it.
We ended up just having pizza and watching Gogglebox, I only watch it with him for a laugh.
Dsister arriving this week so will give the spare room a dust.
Nice Valentines wreath Kalu, a novel idea, hope you have a good crossing Ash and thoughts to all with troubles.

Good morning from Shropshire.

A quiet day hopefully.We took the children home yesterday afternoon and DD treated us all to fish and chips which was lovely.DGD is always practicing gymnastics and dancing and don’t ask me how but she managed to put her foot in DH’s freshly made coffee.Cue absolute panic from the adults while DGD stayed cool as a cucumber.We have just had a message to say the foot is fine this morning😅

H screamed when we left to come home.He is so contrary, always wants who isn’t there!

Grandmabatty, I’m so sorry to hear you have diabetic neuropathy and hope there is a suitable treatment for you💐

Safe travels Ash and olddudders🚢

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from a grey but dry and mild Colchester.
I got the garden tidy yesterday and moved things around.
I have admin to do today as it's nearly the 2nd anniversary of us downsizing into the City centre. Comparison websites here I come.
Roast chicken tonight.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from a dry quiet North Yorkshire. I’ve been sleeping very late some days so don’t post on here often, but always read everyone’s news. I’m hoping to do a bit more seed sowing today and general pottering outside. Going to make a nut loaf for tea but need to go to the supermarket to get stuff and don’t relish that idea. Might go as soon as it’s open, get it out of the way. Might get some bacon too for that sandwich that you made sound so inviting Mick. I’m a meat eater whilst DH only eats chicken or turkey, hence the veggie tea. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning I believe the sun is going to shine here in Leicestershire.

Going to an open gardens in Derbyshire today. They seldom open and I hear they are spectacular.
Roast beef for dinner.

That’s a lovely wreath Kalu.
Hope Marydoll’s party went well yesterday.
Wishing everybody a good day and the travellers a good journey.

Good morning from Durham. I woke very early for the loo (again) and if I find out who has given me this cold, I’ll be having words, having just got rid of the last one. Have dozed a bit, but wide awake now. Leg has been aching this week, but I think it’s the different seat position in my new car. Not planning on doing much today.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from Glasgow. 6deg, calm and dry, supposedly reaching 11deg this afternoon. That’s more like it.

DD1 and the girls are coming for lunch, roast lamb for four and a veggie meal for GD1. We too will have crumble today, a rhubarb filling for us. As it is mid term break now, we may have lodgers staying tonight.
GD2 and I used up some craft scraps to make a valentine wreath. Not that DH and I bother with Valentine’s Day much now but it was GD2’s idea so who am I to disagree with her, she loves it. ❤️

Hoping a good Sunday is ahead for all.

Good morning, it’s a cloudy day forecast here for my corner of Wiltshire.
I actually got all the bulbs planted yesterday so feeling pleased with myself 😊
DDog and I had a nice early walk , met several friends en route all walking their dogs so a good time to go.
Didn’t achieve much else, couldn’t settle to anything for some reason, ended up having a long, early bath and retreating to bed with a book!
Today I have someone coming to look at doing me a patio where the small vegetable bed is, then I can move the swinging chair off the top patio where it hogs the space, and rearrange the rest of my pots etc. it should look much neater and be easier to look after 🤞🏻
Roast pork and all the trimmings for lunch, I will make a plum crumble too 😋

Good morning, two different forecasts for s somerset today, no rain and could just be a flat white/grey sky all day

I did a 3 hour overnight eco wash, full load that needs to go outside at 8. I shall do a batch bake of small crumbles as I want to use up the rest of my bottled gooseberries. and make a nut loaf. I have hm crumble topping in the freezer. Little by little, I am making freezer space available for the end of may when I will have a glut of berries

More marmalade was made yesterday and I do like the satisfying jar pop of a successful seal

Not too much doing today, maybe out on my bike for an hour and some spinning as I have some fluff to finish to yarn. An easy pleasant day ahead

Good morning from E Kent. I didn’t look out of the window, but I’m almost certain it’s cloudy with th absolutely no chance of rain.
Bon voyage Ash. I hope yesterday’s jolly went well, MD.
Quiet day again yesterday. I nearly finished Iris’ replacement hat, when she telephoned to say she’d found it! Ah well…
I’ve been making a few more patchwork squares to make a little lap quilt. I had 10 squares left from a previous project. Can’t let the go to waste!
Church this morning and a chicken curry this evening. Might talk to DS, if he’s free.
Have a happy Sunday. Carpe diem/horam 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from the South Downs. We are going through a period of very quiet weather, long May it last.

I can smell that “sarnie” Mike I’m going to look and see if we have any bacon.

Say goodbye to your little cats ash and enjoy your journey home.

Getting the vax out today and clean the bedroom carpet before all the furniture arrives back on Tuesday. We do have the decorators to come but dust sheets etc should protect everything and they can’t possibly make the mess that taking the ceiling down made.

Mushroom and blue cheese pasta for dinner.

Enjoy your day peeps.

Good morning from a chilly but fine Sarthe.

This is our last morning in France as we drive to Ouistreham today for the 16.30 ferry to Portsmouth where we'll stay overnight at Travelodge.

Have a blessed Sunday, whatever you’re doing. 🦩💐✝️🥰🦩
