Good Morning Conation Saturday 6th May 2023

Good morning from a cloudy corner of La Sarthe.

Our Channel crossing went smoothly yesterday with DH perking up on discovering the à la carte restaurant was open for the first time in months. Despite his cough/cold discomforts disturbing his sleep on Thursday night, he tucked in to a superb cooked breakfast, as did I, charmingly served by a young waiter. The ship was only about a third full and we were fortunate to be one of the first to be off loaded at Ouistreham, after which I drove us to DH’s home where two cats were delighted to see us.

Today will consist of unpacking and food shopping. We have no TV here so I will have to catch up with the Coronation later. Unfortunately, since Brexit, iPlayer and ITVX aren’t available in Europe. Enjoy whatever comes your way!
🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning Mick and all to come.
Please may I belong to your couch potato club too as I love a bit of ceremonial?
Quick walk for the dog before it all kicks off and then I too don’t intend to surface until it’s all over!
With kind thoughts to you all and as always a timely smile from Matt

Good morning from the South Downs which is forecast to be wet but mild.

The dog is waking earlier and earlier, although I suspect it is something to do with a neighbouring female😳

He’s down at the back door moaning.

Enjoy your day one and all.

Good morning from Bristol on this momentous day! What a shame it is raining and will do so all day.
I just remember the 1953 coronation, I was 5. We only saw the first pictures in Mauritius about a month later on the Pathe newsreels. My grandmother had sent us books about it, so we had an idea of what it was all about…
I had a hardworking day, trying to sort out the boxes for DS and my stuff. DD was magnificent and not only set up my Wifi but also the tv 📺 so I can watch to coronation.
We went to the supermarket where I bought compost, then plants at the local plant nursery. DGD came straight from school and helped me plant them.
The furniture has been rearranged in the living room to DD’s satisfaction; a very assertive lady.
These things are passing, taichinan,just have to weather them as they happen…
Ash, I hope you are safely in Le Mans and od’s cough/asthma is improving. Marydoll, don’t overdo things and the best to the two DGDs. Sorry, if I’ve have inevitamissed anyone.
Hope you enjoy your long weekend; Carpe diem 🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning from damp s somerset

I am so much looking forward to the pagentry today and my cream tea is ready for this afternoon

It will be a wonderful weekend here with singing, dancing, eating and stalls in town over the next two days and tv is on already. A time to remember for the children, as I remember the street party and flags in 1953

Have a lovely day

Good morning all from Glasgow airport where it is cool and cloudy.

Our flight to Dublin leaves in an hour so DH and I collected DD at silly o’clock, I’m sure she and I will be zonked by early evening. DH can snooze the morning away when he gets back home.

I’m so looking forward to seeing aunts, uncles and cousins today, we are all meeting up at the home of one of my mother’s siblings.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from Shropshire.

We ended up collecting the children from school and nursery and bringing them back here for a sleepover.All went well until bedtime when DGD had an asthma attack then at 2am a two hour nosebleed.DH slept through it all!

Today both daughters and families here so ten to feed.Luckily most food preparation was done yesterday.I am looking forward to the day but also looking forward to getting into bed tonight😴

Sounds like a successful day grandMattie💪🏼

Have the best day you can everyone🦩👑

Good morning Mick and All from a grey South Bucks.

So pleased Ashcombe you and your DH are safely in your French home. That breakfast on the boat sounded good.

My 3 friends will be arriving at 10.30 for the Coronation followed by a picnic lunch, then back to the telly with tea and homemade cake. It should be a good day. 👍

I remember 70 years ago being cross that it was raining, so my sister and I could not play outside in the garden 🌧️. Our small semi was full of my parents friends who huddled round our tiny Echo TV.

I hope your DGD feels better today Susan. We are always on the alert for our youngest DGS.

Thank you NanKate.I stayed with her all night, her breathing seems to have settled now🤞🏻It’s such a responsibility/worry isn’t it?

Good morning from down South. Verging on rain.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning all from a fairly bright morning in North Leicestershire.

Nothing on the agenda today except watching the coronation. DH will nip to the village to collect our picnic from a local cafe before we settle down.

Hope everyone has the best day possible.

We’re watching it over here. I wish, however, that the commentators would shut up for a moment so we could hear the music from the bands. They really do spew out a lot of factuous rubbish.

Good morning my gn friends it’s to be 60% rain today think I’ll have a duvet day while watching tv all cosy and snug.

Enjoy your tv watching today

Morning from the edge of South Lanarkshire where I’ve been dog minding for DD with my sister in law who is also a good friend. We’ve had a lovely few days walking in the border hills near here, enjoying each other’s company and eating too many coffees and scones.

Enjoy your trip to Dublin with your DD baubles, your family catch up sounds great.

grandMattie, lovely to see you starting to get settled in your new home, first step on your new and exciting road, I wish you well.

Enjoy the weekend everyone, whatever you are doing.

Good Morning everyone on Coronation Day. I’ve pulled back the curtains to a miserable looking morning.
Good news about your daughter Ginster.

No special plans for today or the weekend. Beechnutella is coming over to watch the ceremony with me. Afterwards we will do our own bit of coronation tailoring as we make finishing touches to our fancy dress outfits.

Have a good day all. I shall be looking out for Seamus the wolfhound and anyone else I saw on the tv programme 🥂🤴🫅🏼

Good morning all on this historic day. Grey and damp here in North Yorkshire but set to improve as the day goes on. You don’t have to be an ardent royalist to enjoy the day but I hope you all have a good one, I’m certainly looking forward to it. We’re also going to enjoy the celebrations at the village hall tomorrow with DGd.

Good morning all and it’s damp here in Essex. What a shame! 🇬🇧.
Yesterday Dgd1 came home from Uni for the weekend to see her brothers for their birthday, had a take away and catchup. Today is her dad’s birthday, so she will spend time with him.

I will spend the day in front of the tv - I’ve requested that no one pops in 🙄. I don’t want to miss a second! 😂. Dh will be in and out and asking who this one or that one is? 😡.
So an early dog walk and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. Yum!

Enjoy your day everyone and raise a glass on this very historic day 👑🍹.

Good morning from a damp Co Durham.
I will be joining the couch potato club today. I’m looking forward to watching everything. Dh has been warned I’m not cooking today, the fridge is full of food ( and wine), to be accessed as and when desired 🙂.
I have vague memories of the last coronation, mainly the air of excitement and the commemorative mug I got at the tea party in our local Working Mens Club. I was only six.
Dgd,s school had a coronation tea party yesterday and all pupils were given a bookmark.
Enjoy your day everyone.
God Save the King🥂🏛🍾💐

Thanks Beechnut ❤️

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent. Just on my way out to buy a newspaper and then settling down with DD to watch all the goings on.
Best wishes to all

Good morning everyone from a damp Northampton.

I'll be joining the couch potato club today too! Just need a quick shower and dress, then I'll be ready. The smoked salmon is in the fridge for sandwiches, and a bottle of pink fizz is chilling and I bought a trifle for a sweet treat. I do love a bit of pageantry.

Had my mooch around Matalan yesterday, and came out several ££££ lighter - three pairs of cropped trousers in different colours, a plain white t-shirt, and a lovely short sleeved knitted striped top. All set for my cruise later on in the summer. But as it's to Iceland, I suppose I should be stocking up on warmer clothes!

Enjoy Coronation Day, all who can. God save the King 👑!

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where we have thick fog.
Rain due later.
However I shall wrap up well and get a bus into Edinburgh where my df will drive us to the east Lothian coast for a morning of beach foraging with an expert.
I'll watch some of the historic day on tv later.
Baubles enjoy your Irish holiday.

It's nice that you are settling in gMattie. A west country girl!

I hope everyone has a happy weekend.

I’ve got the television on already. London looks absolutely buzzing, I thought I was awake early, but nothing compared with these people. I’m going to watch it all. So lovely to have it in colour, unlike the last coronation which I watched on next door’s tiny black and white set.
