Ladyleftfieldlover oh my. That is a cake. I'm glad to be in a new kitchen. Well, Kitcheners, I have dropped off the boys after an extra day of childcare and I won't see them til a week on Monday. Their holiday to Portugal is also a holiday for me. I'll miss them, I'm sure, but I'm looking forward to the peace! Dgs2 has worked out how to climb onto my bed, so nowhere is safe 😂 I'm heading off to visit mum soon and I'll tidy up the house. I have apple muffins for the kitchen and a new cushion for by the fire. Have a good evening Kitcheners.
‘Evening All’.
I had to pop in. A new kitchen is always such a delight. It’s a wonderful place of kindness and comfort. Sharing the good times and sadly, the less good times too when they happen.
Grandmabatty you really need to get a playpen now and put a few new toys in it to delight your mini mountaineer on his return! Either that, or you’ll be grateful for those eyes in the back of your head.
😊
A very late Good evening, Soop and lovely Kitchen people! It's great to see so many popping in to this wonderful new kitchen, so warm and welcoming.
Greetings from sunny, warm Nice, Cote d'Azur!🌞✈️🏖🍷 My sisters and I arrived mid morning after a 3 a.m. start for 7 a.m flight from Edinburgh. We're here until late Sunday, had a gentle day today strolling along the Promenade des Anglais, sitting in the sun watching the planes flying in, every 5 minutes like buses! A lovely meal this evening in our hotel rooftop restaurant with stunning views. Tomorrow we'll go sightseeing, starting with the open top bus tour.
Thinking of you all, NNGB.
A lovely, cosy, friendly, new kitchen, thank you soop.
Great photos, Granmarie, enjoy your holiday.
We're off to our little home-from-home on the NWNorfolk coast later for a couple of days, the weather is looking good.
The only downside is that I don't have internet access there, so I miss seeing your doings.
I'll catch up again soon, I had my flu jab on Tuesday, Covid booster one is late next Monday afternoon.
Thinking of you all, especially those with more downs/lows than ups/highs.
Hello new kitchen,Greek honey and nuts to share.
We are now in the airport waiting for our flight home.It’s been a lovely holiday.A real tonic that we both needed.We spent last night in Corfu town it was still very warm at 7pm a bonus in October.
Enjoy Nice Grandmarie looks great.
Enjoy your day Kitcheners.
Good evening Kitcheners. I’m hardly feeling any effects from the Covid jab today, just a little twinge in my arm every now and then. It’s a funny old arm anyway 
.
I have cleaned the en-suite shower room today which is very good exercise! It never ceases to amaze me how much hair is in the drain trap. I have a thick head of hair and it isn’t thinning at all. I can’t blame MrB as he has very little hair nowadays so I guess it’s all mine.
Grandmabatty I had a wee nephew like that, but without the screaming. When babysitting I used to follow him around removing dangerous objects, but I was much younger then. He’s grown up to be a delightful man with two beautifully behaved children.
Enjoy your break gillgran.
Lovely pics Yia, safe journey home.
Hello everyone. The new kitchens come around so quickly, many thanks soop for a warm meeting place.
All quiet here, thank goodness. Enough drama for this year. Normal day to day stuff, mundane really which is strangely appreciated. Our few days away last week did us both good for sure although I’ve felt more than lazy since we’ve been back, done as little as possible. Enjoyed a morning volunteering today, spent a fair bit of the afternoon chatting with a neighbour. Feeling guilty about ignoring the ‘shoulds’, how foolish is that.
Lovely holiday photos and so pleased to hear the enjoyment.
Grandmab you might be describing our first born. He zoomed about causing havoc. Thinking playpens we had one of the old square wooden ones. While no use for a climbing yelling child it kept the Christmas tree safe. . His children were much more sedate, oddly his brother who was a quiet child as a little one produced the Typhoon who thankfully has calmed down now. There is hope . No logic though is there?
We’re promised a warm weekend, a trip along the coast tomorrow I think and taming the garden on Sunday.
Have the best weekend you can everyone. TOYA.
Hello Kitcheners all! I pop in most days to read.
It is almost a full year (minus a few days) since DD1 got her terminal brain tumour diagnosis which upended her life and left all who love her with a deep strain in their lives. So far, thankfully, she is doing well on the available treatment and taking each day as it comes, as she must. Her cheerfulness and stoicism are amazing.
Recently the family went on a visit to Aunty Minibaggs at her uni where she supervised her nephews on a climbing wall – one of Minibaggs's favourite leisure acitivities. I attach two photos.
