Good Morning Sunday 2nd June 2024

Good morning from a sunny Bristol. We are promised a lovely day. I’m glad for those finishing their half term.
My tea loaf went down very well at the church coffee and chat. I was much amused when I overheard someone asking who had made it. On hearing it was me, they said, “if it’s GM, it must be delicious”.
I have finished the planning and making block stage of my quilt, it now involves hours of hand sewing. I might well do a lot in the garden in the sun this afternoon.
Nothing else planned apart from church this morning.
Hope that all the news you get today matches the sunshine and warmth. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick from a sunny Oxfordshire, it can’t be very warm as the heating has come on.

Dog day today so we should be able to have a nice walk.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and a bit cloudy. GrandMattie you've made a good reputation for yourself!
Yesterday I did a shop at Aldi, then met a friend for breakfast. We had a lovely morning, chatting away. After I took her home, I went to the community centre open day with DD, Dsil and the boys. It was busy and there were lots of things arranged. I only stayed an hour because it was very hot and my feet were sore. Dsil came round with me to lift two big bags of compost out of my car boot. Goodness knows how I thought I would manage them on my own! In the afternoon I potted up the carrots and the peas. I had a quiet night and went to bed early.
Today I have an all day art workshop in my tutor's garden in Stirling. It's always a lovely day if a bit tiring. There are masses of flowers to paint and her and her sister have two adorable whippets who come to visit the artists from time to time. We are fed copious amounts of tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the day and the company is excellent. I'm looking forward to it. I will probably water the garden before I go. Have a good day all.

Good morning from, no surprises, my patio in Cornwall. Been out here for a while. The air is cool and lovely, with another bright day ahead. My retreat is over, so useful and refreshing. Yesterday my granddaughter came for the day and talked my ears off. 😊 Today my son and grandson will be helping me at my allotment. My knee replacement op is three weeks and five days away. Counting the days, moi? 😂

Good morning all it’s promising to be another hot day today here on the east coast of FiFe. I managed a little seat outside yesterday

Today I’m off to church to see the Kirking of the lad and lass from the local primary school. It’s an annual event where children vote for their peer favourites, the church holds a ceremony for the primary 7s it’s all great fun and excitement for everyone.

Happy days

Good morning from a sunny start in Crewe where I’m staying with DD1 and family.

It’s good to have you back here, Mizuna and I can understand you counting down to K day!

Yesterday, I enjoyed seeing old friends from my days of being involved in musical theatre in Rugeley. I went by train which worked well except for a last minute announcement that only the front half of the train would stop at my destination due to it having a short platform. Luckily, I just had time to move to the next coach!

DGD suffered a knee injury at her Dance School Dress Rehearsal yesterday afternoon but managed to perform in the evening. We are all going to watch the show tonight which will be a treat.

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday. 🦩💐✝️🥰🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire but it’s on the cool side at the moment. Yesterday I had a good walk with the family followed by fish and chips, and GS cut my lawn before they went home. I am foraging for elderflowers this morning while the sun is on them and I’ll make cordial. There are masses of them this year so I shouldn’t have to take many from each bush. The rest of the day will be spent in the garden.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from sunny south Glos, again a beautiful start to the day although by the afternoon yesterday it was cloudy and decidedly cool.
I pottered around doing bits outside in the garden and I am really pleased with how the garden is looking. I hung up more bird feeders and I have ordered more bird food; there’s a feeding frenzy going on here!
Today I will do the ironing first thing then enjoy the sunshine 🌞
Are there any whisky connoisseurs on here? It’s DS’s birthday next week and I’d like buy him a bottle of good single malt, any suggestions? I can’t stand the smell of it so I have absolutely no clue!
Have a great day 🌹

Good morning all from a sunny North Leicestershire.

We are promised a warm day and dh intends to weed killer the patio while I make a lamb tagine. With luck we can eat outside. A quiet day with the papers hopefully.

Roses, there is a website called Masters of Malt that I have used. Delivery is good.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from Malta where it’s raining at the moment, but still going to reach 30°C later today.

I have a bit of ironing to do this morning, then Mass at 11.30 after which my friend in Leicester and I will have our weekly FaceTime chat.

Lots of tennis to watch later so I expect I won’t be moving far from my sofa.

Have a good day, I’m so glad the sunshine has arrived at last.☀️

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. A warm and fine day is predicted.
OH, daughter and I are going out for Sunday lunch. Afterwards, if there’s time before daughter’s train, we will pop into our local NT property for a mooch around.
OH will check on his bees later in readiness for tomorrow when he intends to draw the honey off. He thinks there may be up to 60 jars!
Have a good day.

Morning Mick, morning All from a sunny corner of Somerset.

It’s been a busy week doing goodness knows what. Laundry to process this morning, hopefully dried, ironed and put away by this evening.

Good to see you back mizuna, nearly there.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a sunny Co Durham.
Out for lunch today in a local pub/ restaurant with dd2 and her partner. They moved house on Thursday and are now only 15 minutes away from us. It’s more than 30 years since she moved away, but now wants to be nearer to us. DD1 and family live ten minutes away in the opposite direction. We are so lucky.
Hope the sun is shining on you all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a bit cloudy but hopefully it’ll brighten up later
That’s a lovely compliment to receive about your baking gMattie
Decided to go for a little walk this morning and then I’ll potter in the garden later
Hope you have an enjoyable day at the art workshop gbatty it sounds really good
Enjoy the show tonight Ash and your DGD knee is ok
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from s somerset, wall to wall sunshine all day today

I did not get to sleep for a long time so have abandoned my plan for a long ride today, it would have been very strenuous and I did have a ride yesterday. I need to acknowledge my age to myself and stick to alternate days. I even cleaned and oiled two bikes ready for today and for summer

My `almost dead` fig with a tiny green bud will still be nurtured back to life but it will be a stick for a long time. I bought myself another fig, having seen that they do well and produce plenty of figs in a 14 litre pot. So I will not need to think of fastening support wires anywhere, phew to that. It will be in a 3 litre pot for now

Today will be purely a rest day but I will pick more gooseberries, which is quite a zen process anyway

Have a good day

Good morning from our holiday home in the Algarve. Today it is the beach, back for lunch and a pool afternoon. Tonight the local restaurant is doing a buffet roast dinner.
Wishing everyone a very happy Sunday☀️

Good morning from a bright W Kent. A quiet day today, chat to DB a walk and still more ironing.
Best wishes to all.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. The weather is improving and I've developed a cold. A day in with hot lemon and honey and paracetamol it is then.
DH is fishing and DS is going out with his GF for the day so I'll have peace and nobody to feed.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning Mick and All from a wall to wall sunshine day here in South Bucks.

Will pack up a small picnic and take DH down to the Lock to eat it and watch the narrow boats go by.

Like Bellasnana I will be watching plenty of good tennis from Paris, that is if it stops raining there. At least they have 2 covered courts.

Good morning from Wiltshire where the weather is looking better after a very cloudy day all day yesterday.

We went to DGD3’s ballet performance held outside but luckily rain held off. She is such a little dot compared with her contemporaries. I wish she’d eat more. There was a man who had brought a cob horse along for the children to have rides on. I’ve seen the same man outside a pasty shop in the next town sharing one with his lovely horse.

Has anyone noticed there seems to be a far smaller selection of bedding plants this year? It must be down to the dismal Spring. My dahlias are being decimated. We have tried grit, coffee grounds, sheep’s wool and bark to deter the slugs and snails to no good effect and DH has now resorted to slug pellets delivered yesterday. Have never used them before.

Starting to think about packing for our (first) 10 day river cruise along the Danube starting on Thursday. I’m still too nervous to take an ocean cruise atm after our horrendous experience last year. Shame as we love them.

Enjoy your sunny Sunday everyone.

Good morning from sunny South Lanarkshire.

I’ll come back and read all the news when I’ve finished my coffee.

Yesterday’s lovely weather felt quite joyous. A mini music festival was taking place in our wee town, there was a real holiday atmosphere when I came out of the hairdresser, so lovely to see people out enjoying the sunshine.

We were home ridiculously late home from the party last night, great to see so many of DH’s family all together though. I believe many were falling into bed after five, I vaguely remember the days I could do that!

I was so pleased for DGD who had been at the District Netball awards ceremony where she was presented with the award for the most improved player, earlier in the week she’d been given the same award by her club so she was doubly delighted. Her hard work is paying off.

We’re going to watch her play in a tournament this afternoon.

Wishing everyone a good day especially those who have been unwell.

Sunshine forecast all day so outdoors it is. Group service for our four churches in a cow barn (complete with cows) as it is Rogation Sunday when the crops are blessed. Think they may need it especially this year with the unpredictable weather this spring. Otherwise nothing planned apart from the newspaper and some sedate dead heading and weeding.

Good morning from a sunny Suffolk,at last. Lovely to wake up to warmth and brightness rather than grey and rain.

We had a lovely lunch with DS and family for DGD1’s 18th birthday followed by cake back at their house. DS entertained us all with stories of escapades he had done in his youth which neither DH or I had heard before. The children’s particular favourite was how he had found a field mouse in the house,put it in an old hamster cage and kept it in the shed and fed it on hamster food. It was a secret he even kept from his sisters. Just wondering what else we might find out about his early life!

Hope today is a sunny one for all. We shall enjoy our walk with the dog in the sun before a day of gentle weeding and reading in the summerhouse.

Baubles well done to your dgd!
