Good morning, grey skies and chilly here in south Glos, yesterday was lovely when the sun shone but a bitter wind.
I enjoyed my dog walks yesterday, it’s lovely to see the hedges greening up.
Today I have nothing planned so will see how the day goes, gardening I think as the weeds never stop growing!
DH is busy sorting out the base for the summerhouse which is being delivered next Thursday and assembled the following week!
Have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning from a chilly Whiddon Down (mid Devon) after a beautifully sunny day yesterday.

Later, we hope to catch a train from Okehampton to Exeter. This line has recently been reopened (2022) as a regular service after being an occasional Sunday special for some years.

I’m glad you’re having a happy holiday, Pantglas2. 😎
A busy time with washing, Oopsadaisy1 but worth it, no doubt to have had a break.

Wishing everyone as good a day as possible. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Here I am with more bags of 🌞 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 to the rescue Mick and all who need it!

We’re promised some showers here 🇪🇸 over the weekend so fingers crossed it’s overnight and not whilst I’m on a Mystery Trip tomorrow 🤷‍♀️. Mr PG and I have bets on where we end up on these jollies and this time my money is on Sevilla where the April Feria finishes!

A quiet day today with some washing to dry up on the terrace whilst I sit and read in the shade now that my live in handyman has fitted the awning on the pergola. Then fish and chips tonight at one of our favourite restaurants (there are many 😊) and an early night methinks.

Have a good weekend everyone x

Good morning Mick and all who follow, you’re right about the cold wind Mick, we need some warm and calm weather.

Arrived home from Cornwall, tired after helping MzOops, we have a carload to unpack and store, she still has loads to pack, but has friends helping her.

The fencing has arrived so we need to tackle that tomorrow after the dog has returned to her own home.

I also seem to have loads of washing to do, I won’t be bored for a few days.

Hope everyone has a good day, thoughts are with those who are unwell or stressed.

Good morning from a dawning, overcast Bristol. This icy wind is getting me down.
I had a good tai chi session yesterday; we were very few though. Perhaps, taichinan, you could just let your class repeat (ad nauseum?) what you normally do. May help the meditative part of the discipline.
I visited one of the residents who is now virtually housebound due to a crumbling spine, poor thing.
Dinner at DDs; Iris was making a pesto of ransomed (wild garlic). The house smelled strongly of them, but tasted very mild with the farfalle we had with it.
Poor DD had barely come back from a retreat that she and SiL went to Iris’ parent evening, rushed dinner and off to her PCC meeting. I barely saw her.
Spanish restarts today, long walk to the centre.
May today bring peace to you all; Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning Everyone,
Its daylight but with a grey sky this morning ,and also that biting windchill .
The chilly air is somewhat playing around with my condition , as I a,m wrapping up clothing wise due to it , the longer it continues the worse I may feel , warm conditions is what is needed .
Take Care,
Mick
