Good morning all - have we all been out to bathe our faces in the morning dew to guarantee eternal beauty?
No me neither, so that’s my excuse for the bags under the eyes and wrinkles.
DH always used to present me with a little bunch of lily of the valley muguet des bois on the 1st of May.
Yesterday turned out better than I expected, a friend rang suggesting a walk and we spent the afternoon in the beautiful grounds of Delapré Abbey in Northampton, the dog appreciated the change of walkies too.
Maypole dancing at 11 ion our village green so the dog and I will wander round and greet a few familiar faces.
flowers to Glamma and anybody else with poignant anniversaries and my best wishes to all for a pleasant day.

Good Morning all from Bright but cloudy Harrogate.Good Luck getting the part Ashcombe I used to love watching Dad's Army.
We are missing you Marydoll hope you'll be back with us soon.Mick enjoy your quiet day. My day will be quiet - apart from phoning my school friend this morning, then my sisters this afternoon. I tried to organise a direct debit yesterday but got a message I had to do it on the App!! Downloading the app turned out to be a load of fun and I don't think - still not done, they were asking for passwords I haven't invented! Passwords are the bane of my life!!
Obviously won't get it done today being a bank holiday!

Have the best day possible folks

Good morning and happy May Day. As forecast, the sun is now shielding behind a lot of grey cloud. We are getting ready for our journey to Scotland where we will spend the month at our flat in East Lothian and touring the north-west coast in our campervan. We did the now famous NorthCoast500 route in 2016, not knowing until my sister mentioned that it was being promoted as such. But time constraints made us cut off a couple of loops in the west so we want to ‘do’ the road across to Applecross and then north to Lochinver.

We had a lovely walk on the other side of the downs from us, visiting our favourite bluebell wood. I will try to post a photo.

Hope for news of Marydoll. All the best with your moving in Grandmattie.

Good morning all. Very late this morning - I must have needed that sleep! - but I can report that there are patches of blue amongst the dark grey on the Angus coast today and I have just moved myself into a shaft of sunlight as I write.
Lovely day with family in Perth yesterday. Dancing GD is off to dance with the National Youth Dance Company of Scotland in Estonia on Wednesday and is beyond excited. I wish her a wonderful time and experience. There are a series of events round Britain (the first was in Inverness) over the summer culminating in the Edinburgh Fringe so an amazing time ahead for her.
My car broke down on the way home from Perth! Just a couple of miles from home, so I was 'lucky'. I left the main road and took to the miriad of little side roads round here, all gently sloping towards the house, to see if I could nurse it home - but no. The clutch has now officially "gone". Thank goodness for the AA although I had a two hour wait while they hunted for me! Various lovely people drew up adjacent to the car (very adjacent - these are narrow lanes) to see if I needed help and I had some lovely chats with people who live in places nearby I never knew existed. Anyway, when my garage mannie gets back to work after the holiday weekend he will find my immovable car on his doorstep a couple of days early - it was booked in for Wednesday. These things are sent to try us, as they say.
I shall now get myself another cup of coffee and read all your posts. Have a good holiday Monday x

Good morning from Cambridgeshire. Happy 1st May. My new tortortoise is safely in her pen, and I am trying to get up energy to go in the shower. Cloudy here, but quite warm. I have fibro and my wonderful partner is hoovering. One in a million! Have a happy day all.

Hello everyone.
I do not message very often but read accounts on a daily basis.
A Happy May Day to you all.

My best wishes all. Carolewine😃
