Good Morning Easter Saturday 8th April 2023

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. We got back from our Danube Cruise yesterday. We had a great time but it’s always good to be home. Our cleaning ladies had been in the day before we left for our holiday so it’s still sparkling! The garden looks beautiful. I must have a jaunt to Waitrose this morning. The cupboard is almost bare. I will also pop over the road and give my friend something nice for feeding Milo and Ripley for the week. Elder son and his family are coming this evening and staying until tomorrow. They are holidaying in the Scottish highlands. I usually do leg of lamb for Easter Sunday. Not this year as they have become ridiculously expensive. Guinea fowl is on the menu and chocolate bread and butter pudding. Yum. Of course I will be buying Easter eggs! I’ve already sent some via John Lewis to younger son who is staying in London. Our daughter is on holiday in New Orleans, so she won’t get one! As I said, it’s always good to be home. When son and his family have left tomorrow I have to prepare for my sister and niece arriving from Australia on Monday. We haven’t seen one another since December 2019 when we were in Sydney for the wedding of another niece! Have a peaceful Saturday.

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset looks clear.

Excellent day yesterday. We enjoyed walking by the sea, escaped before it became too busy. With enough energy left for some garden tidying it was good to have been outside for most of the day

Off early along two motorways to see family today complete with a surplus to requirements garden table which just fits in the car. Hope the traffic is kind.

Hope your visit isn’t too draining grandmattie. So many goodbyes.

Take care everyone.

Good morning from a dawning E Kent. The moon was still very bright in the clear western sky.
Unexpectedly, I had a pretty good night, May have Ben the walk my young friend and I took last evening.
She came in the late afternoon, collected the last of the stuff I was giving her MS shop, and the two suitcases of clothes, which looked like I was running away from home…
We had a delicious venison steak. I knew she’d never eaten venison, but was gobsmacked when she told me she’d neve4 had the baked apples that followed! And her, so English.
I’m saying my farewells to my friend in the nursing home today, taking her an Easter present as well as birthday presents for next week. I hope there won’t be too many tears.
Carpe diem, dear friends. 🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning it’s going to be a good day here on the east coast of Fife. I’m looking forward to my friend visiting with her 3 wee girls it’s going to be fun and games. I’m also going to sit outside in the garden if it’s as warm as yesterday I may even partake in a wee glass of the red, how’s that for a fabby day.
Have a good day all my gn friends
