Good morning from Shropshire.A sunny day forecast🥳

Good luck with the audition Ash🎭and with the move grandMattie🏡

Thinking of all unwell and those worrying about family members💐

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from a dull and damp (after overnight rain) Oxfordshire, no lawn mowing again for me as the grass is very wet. A dog walk later, it was so warm yesterday, but very sticky, but nice not to have to wear hats and scarves.

MissOops dog is guarding the garden for us, seeing off all the birds that MrOops feeds each morning, they will settle back down when she goes home this afternoon.

There will be dancing on the Village green later, the May Pole is being erected right now, I hope it stays dry for them, the May Queen will be taken around the village on a pony and trap later this afternoon.

GM at last ! Good luck for tomorrow ( or maybe Wednesday)

MrOops is happy, one holiday booked to Cyprus, we’ve never been there, but I have 6 weeks to fret and worry about it, so I can manage that!

Have a good May Day everyone, hugs for those with stress and worries.

Good Morning from a dull Co Armagh
No plans for today , might have another fight with my crochet , I keep losing my place in the pattern , and it’s not even complicated!
So good to see grandMattie getting your apartment ready to move in 😊

Good morning everyone, a beautiful, clear, sunny morning here and 21°already.

I’m recovering slowly but my goodness, it is slow. I’m trying to eat tiny meals but it’s difficult.

We had a marvellous surprise this weekend. On Friday DGS and Son in law arrived as we expected. On Sunday morning they went out for a drive early and we were wondering where they had got to. They eventually arrived back having been to the airport and collected DGS’s partner and my lovely older DD.
The girls only decided to come a week ago and had spent all week adding extra hours work in so that they could.

Gala: I’m glad you enjoy my photos. Was this the site you had in mind?

Good morning from a dull Sefton. Not impressed with the weather. We're meeting the family late morning for a stroll along the beach. A bit of sun wouldn't go amiss. We'll leave our lazy greyhound snoozing. He might shake a leg - literally - for a mid afternoon sniff & wander. No other plans planned.
Always enjoy your photos Ashcombe. They bring back lovely memories of our 4/5 years working for the Caravan Club in Devon& Cornwall. We spent a memorable season on a site just outside Stoke Gabriel.

Good morning.
Had a lovely afternoon yesterday celebrating DGS3. 2nd birthday. He was very excited by it all .
SIL s birthday today so we toasted him as well as we won’t see him today.
We had rain overnight so hoping it will stay dry today. We are hoping to do some sorting out in the garden at last.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning from high cloud in S Hampshire, due sunny intervals and showers.
The last few yards to the line gMattie.
Smashing pictures Ash.
MrJ is at work, so I have no real plans, quiz tonight.
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

Good May Day morning to you all.!

It isn't warm here. It's 9° but sunny and the birds are chirruping.

I had a shock yesterday. While out visiting my aged DMiL I had a call from my lodger thank God for her
to say that she was coping with water bucketing through a ceiling and how could she turn off the water.
Luckily the plumber came quickly and found a burst water tank. By the time I got home the worst was over.
Today more mopping up and dehumidifying.
Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Good morning from another cloudy and grey Black Country.

Lovely family meet up for lunch yesterday at a Hotel for my Aunts 80th. Many people who I had not seen for a long time, there must have been 40 of us.

No real plans today, except packing as we are flying to Portugal on Wednesday morning. Probably some ironing.

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning all from the Black country where once again its dull.
Whitewave the mention of dahlias bought memories of my late father he showed dahlias and won many a cup or trophy for them, would spend hours in his garden carefully removing any earwigs that dared to go near them happy days.
Will carry on with some decluttering, have a bag of costume jewellery I no longer wear to take to charity shop and my crockery needs sorting.
Have a lovely bank holiday everyone and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from a bright Co Durham. Looks set fair till after lunch so might put some washing on.
Grand dogs arrived yesterday for a sleepover 😀. Just waiting for them to stir. They are lazy little dogs.
Hope everyone is ok, I’ve not read the posts for a few days. Let’s hope May is a better month for all.

Good morning from a dry NE where it is 10 degrees.
SIL came yesterday and we did some paperwork in readiness for an appointment at the bank later this month.
In the evening we roast a beef joint on a bed of root vegetables. We had a glass of Fleurie with the meal.
I will have a quiet day, watch some TV and start a new novel. Meals will be simple and relaxed.
Have a good Bank Holiday.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s cloudy but I’m hoping it will brighten up later
Almost there gMattie I’m so pleased for you
Just a normal Monday here today, I’m off to the gym for Zumba this morning and then either a walk out somewhere or home to do the garden
If you can spare any of that sunshine grandmabatty please send it up here!
Lovely pictures Ash thank you and good luck in getting the part you’d like
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from a mild, dry Colchester. The early sun has disappeared but we're promised 17 degrees.
DH and I are planning a walk to see what's going on in and around the city.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all and it’s a bit grey skyed here in Essex. We’ve had two lovely sunny days so can’t moan.
Yesterday we sat in DS1’s garden and had coffee, in the sunshine. One gd came down after an hour or so still in pjs but we never saw the other one. Still snoozing! Teenagers!
Dd and DGD came for lunch and we had a lovely afternoon together. Dd didn’t look well and I’m so worried about her. She has the consultant phoning on Wednesday. She really should see him face to face. She remains jolly and positive! ❤️.

An easy day today and we’ll pop out for some plants . It will be busy everywhere (it always is round here), but we won’t venture too far. Traffic and crowds we stay away from, if we can.

My db is on a cruise around Scotland. His poor wife is in care with dementia and sleeps most of the time. We all persuaded him to go away for a week. It’s a singles cruise and he’s a very handsome, charming man ( think Nigel Havers). We all warned him about the ladies. He’s sent me through lots of pics with him surrounded by females. Not another man in sight! 🙄😂!

Ash those pics are beautiful.
Happy 100th birthday to Bijou 🎈🎂.
Not long now GM 🤞.
Sounds like a wonderful holiday Cornergran . Memories !

Have a lovely bank holiday everyone 🌷

Good morning on may 1st. S somerset ground is sodden as it rained a lot yesterday and overnight, muddy puddles will be in potholes. It should be nice here today, it will feel like a greenhouse outside later, with sun and I will be enticed out

I need to perform tlc operation on my tomato seedlings. They have hardly grown, a small job for today, a transplant into new compost. They look strong and straight and hopefully have decent roots but possibly are starving

A good day to everyone

Good morning Mick and All.

My mum always looked forward to May Day and dancing round the maypole. I think all the children then had a picnic which consisted of an apple and a drink ! 👒 I can’t find a maypole so here’s a pretty hat she might have worn.

Starting to make preparations for our small Coronation Party on Saturday. Three friends will be joining us for the ceremony and then a picnic style lunch, thanks to M and S.

Ash fingers crossed for you!

This was the episode:-https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cyl2y/dads-army-series-4-9-mums-army

Grandmabatty: I hope to be offered a small part in the Mum's Army episode - Mrs. Fox or Mrs. Pike, who was the mother of the “stupid boy” and close friend (!) of Sgt. Wilson. I’ll keep you all posted when the director lets us know.

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Not much happening here today though I do need to pop out and buy salad stuff. And ring my sister in law.

Have the best day possible all.

Good morning from cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Happy International Workers’ Day. No holiday for this worker, business as usual.

It’s also the birthday of one of my GC. A special day in so many ways, a day of beginnings as ww2 expressed beautifully.

We had lunch at our usual Sunday café yesterday but were joined by DD and three children who then came back to our house for a couple of hours. SiL and DGD are planning their visit to Dublin to watch their rugby team after seeing them win in Wales on Saturday. It was a long drive down and back but their high spirits kept them going.

Have the best day possible, whatever you are doing.

Good morning and happy May Day from North Yorkshire.
A lovely bright start.
I’m off walking with a friend today, the first person I will have seen all weekend. It’s been very quiet.
I hope the move goes well tomorrow GM
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from a dry and sunny North Yorkshire. I think I’m now fully recovered from 5 days away with DGd, not sure why it was so tiring when I’m always on the go at home but it was. I’m now missing her and looking forward to our usual day with her on Wednesday. Stuff to do on the allotment today, need to somehow make good all the bird netting so the bushes don’t get stripped like last year. More washing also and tidying of the flower borders here at home. Hope Marydoll is ok and I think we’ll all breathe a sigh or relief when you’re finally installed GM. Hope everyone has a good MayDay.
