Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
You seem to be carving a niche for yourself GrandMattie, doing what you have always done! Glad your coughing has abated Ashcombe lovely picture. Had a lousy night last night, however will try to go to church and Hope I don’t zzz through the service.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from another dull, chilly Oxfordshire, the sun came out yesterday at 6 pm, too late to do much outdoors at that time.
Happy Birthday MaryDoll have a great dayπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚πŸ’πŸŽ
Mick your trip sounds good, my parents went out most weekends on Coach Trips and loved it.
Nothing much happening here today, dog sitting and Nephew has a hospital appointment ( on a Sunday!)
Have a good day everyone, hope all those who are poorly get some relief, let’s hope the sun shines and it soon warms up.

Good morning everyone from a grey and cloudy Northampton. At least it is dry, so I shall cut the back grass today, but must put some washing out as well, so I shall be dodging the washing-line!

Was not overly impressed with the theatre yesterday (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel).. The story-line bore.no resemblance to the book, and the dialogue was difficult to follow, as the actors seemed to speak too quickly; the set was good though. It was an expensive afternoon out!

Watched most of Eurovision last night, but thought the songs all sounded very similar - don't think we deserved to come last but one though.

Happy birthday πŸŽ‚ Marydoll! cupcake flowers flowers

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Happy birthday Marydoll hope you have a lovely day.
DS and all the family came yesterday afternoon and we had coffee and cake, the one my friend sent.
DS and DIL went for a walk while I prepared dinner, roast gammon with courgette Provencal, carrots, potato and swede.
GD2 played the piano and then we watched some of Eurovision, could it get any more weird ?
SIL is coming this afternoon and we are going to the Sage in Gateshead for a Benjamin Grosvenor concert.
Have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a dry but dull N. Bucks.
I think we’ll visit the local garden centre for offer and buy some annuals. Hopefully get them planted this afternoon.
After the two DGSs had gone yesterday I put my feet up and finished off the two sets of prem. baby garments. Part of our WI knitting for charity.
Happy Birthday Marydoll andCreativeness .
Mick enjoy your outing.
Happy travels and holidays and a good day wished for all.

Happy Mothers Day to all those celebrating today. Mostly Aussies and Americans, not sure about Europe ? We have had a lovely family luncheon with 4 generations of us, so lovely to catch up.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
I hope you enjoy what sounds like a lovely day out Mick.

Yesterday, I took my car down to the tyre fitters where the two front tyres were replaced. They automatically checked the alignment and found the wheel opposite to the flat tyre was unadvisably out of alignment, unrelated to what caused the flat and reckoned to be probably due to potholes which have multiplied round here over winter. So that had to be fixed too and I finally ended up with a rather large bill. They were a friendly and helpful outfit though who readily answered this ignoramus's questions.
Fortunately for me, Dunelm and Lidl were literally two minutes walk away so I entertained myself in them for an hour and managed to get the supplies I hadn't dared to drive round to Sainsbury's for earlier.
The weather was really warm. I actually was able to sit out in the garden at 7pm with a restorative glass of Rioja. Perfect!

Today, some minor tidying up then gardening. My recently germinated beans are rocketing up but I'm still suspicious of frost so they will stay in their pots for now.

A very happy birthday to you Marydoll, it sounds as though you will have a lovely day with the family visiting...and cake too!

Wishing you all a pleasant day.
