Wow! Love that snowman Susan - and so does H by the look of him.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. This may be a quiet weekend, but I’m not sure. OH is hoping to order a multitude of equipment for his new hobby - beekeeping. Hives and all the associated paraphernalia. He has a friend who has promised space on his farm for the hives as our garden isn’t big enough. So a stark contrast to last weekend when we had elder son and granddaughter here! I may do a little baking. I have a tiny bit of WI admin - but I always do! I send out an email to all the ladies reminding them about the forthcoming meeting. Every single lady - apart from one - has access to the internet etc. The exception just refuses to learn about emails so I have to print everything off for her. Fortunately she lives very close by. Apparently her daughter has offered to teach her the rudiments and supply a computer, but no. The lady flatly refuses! Another WI member held back for years until her sons persuaded her to use a computer and now she’s in her element and loves it. Small rant over. There’s enough ‘heavy’ stuff going on in the wider world. Have a good day.

Morning bluebalou. Morning All from a very cold corner of Somerset.

Yesterday’s trip out was very enjoyable. We made it to the coach without getting wet, the snow that began to fall didn’t settle, the roads were kind and the day very enjoyable, we walked back from the coach stop under a clear sky. It was long, 13 hours out, but worth it to see how much Mr C enjoyed himself.

Not as relaxing as a spa day grannygravy, sounds ideal. Me? A haircut booked for too early to be sensible. Mr C will rest for a while I think. We will wander out for lunch, somewhere with a warm fire would be good

Enjoy the rest of your weekend bluebalou, thank you for opening. Agree with ash, also think mick has fine in a short break.

Take care everyone. Stay warm.

Good morning all. And goodness me! I have never been so early in the thread rankings! It's a cloudier day on the Angus coast, so not so frosty. Yesterday was glorious from dawn to dusk and I enjoyed a long coffee break sitting in the warm sunshine, with snow all around me.
Glad your Front of House stint went well Ash. I've nothing to report so will make way for those that do. I hope Mick enjoys his break to Harrogate - where I doubt it will be warmer. Safe travels to the travellers and stay cosy to the rest x

Good morning BB and thank you. Raining here and cold in s somerset

Today will be an easy day again, the weather is not dragging me out and there are no specific jobs. Luckily I am content with my own company and I like my hobbies, my frogged yarn is rapidly being used and my jumper is growing quickly. Radio and tv are definitely good companions at times

Tuesday will be a good outside drying day, this week and that means sun, I am looking forward to it

Morning all

Thank you BlueBalou for opening up, I hope Mick arrived safely in Harrogate and enjoying his break

I am off for a spa today with two of my DiL’s, looking forward to a relaxing facial, massage followed by a tasty late lunch. It is rare that we can get together without children or husbands, much chatter and laughter will be had, I am extremely blessed.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning Blue and thank you for opening.

We still have a lot of snow on the garden but the roads are clear.

DD dropped the children off mid afternoon for a sleepover so she can catch up on work she couldn’t do while the school and nursery were closed.

DGD and I are walking into town this morning.

I have attached a picture of H(with DD’s permission)☃️

Take care out and about everyone and have the best day you can🦩

I think Mick is on a coach trip to Harrogate so thank you for opening up, BlueBalou.

The play was excellent with an almost full house (over 200!) then a very busy bar afterwards. All five performances so far have been well supported and the final two are today. People like what they know - The Importance of Being Earnest is always a favourite! It was a long evening with two intervals but we sold lots of drinks and ice creams and I’ve learnt to work a card machine, a recent innovation at all the selling points. (Bar, coffee shop, etc)

Enjoy whatever you’re doing! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning everyone from south Somerset where I’m on a watercolour painting weekend and having a great time!
It’s blooming cold here 🥶
I had an easy drive down, I really don’t know why I get so anxious about driving.
DH is home alone with DDog, the carpenter started assembling the bookcases yesterday, it was chaos so rather glad to escape the noise!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend x

Rather cheeky but I think Mick is away?
