When females join together they are invincible.
Well done those ladies 👏👏👏

There was a big item on Countryfile yesterday evening about female farmers and how they were taking over the industry by storm. Far more girls are now attending agricultural college, and the female they interviewed was amazing.

Good oh - nothing to add at the moment but nice to see

Whitewavemark2 Mon 08-Jul-24 09:22:56

Oh I know - bearing in mind my politics obsession.

So good to see so many women in the new cabinet

As one of the few grandfathers on here I would concur with GG13's post about the invincibility of women.

My brother, and his friends did a tractor run around the Lincolnshire border, raising above their goals,money for the Air Ambulance and children's hospice. Did another one yesterday for local children. Great fun and worthy causes.

It's great to have a positive thread. There is so much good around which often gets overlooked by all the political and worrying news . I so admire people like those above doing a tractor run to raise money for good causes.
I'd like to do something big for charity, if I could find something I could cope with at my age/back problems.
Would anyone like to push me in a wheelchair from Lands End to John O'Groats, please? Or similar? grin

I’m sitting here with three very naughty mini sausages squashed up against me, fast asleep. Sipping tea, watching Wimbledon! (Me, not them)

Feeling good after fabulous weekend away with our friends 😊

Wishing each and every GN a fabulous positive week.

Lovely to have a positive thread. Thank you.

In hospital last week I shared a room with a lady whom I discovered I had so much in common with you would think we were twins. Even her sons looked like mine! A friendship blossomed over two days and we're planning to meet up as soon as our new knees allow. I have many good friends, wasn't expecting another, and to find an unexpected one is such a blessing. We talked so much the nurse came in at 1am, turned our lights off and told us to 'Please get some sleep, you've just had a big operation and need to rest.' 😂

I'm heading to London on Thursday, hopefully seeing Stevie Nicks at Hyde park on Friday, meeting my daughter on Saturday to see Moulin Rouge. Just sitting in coffee shop at the moment treating myself to an americano, a rare treat. Nice thread

Just got the news that a friend from years back is coming over from OZ. Started planning a meet up!

Our useless local MP has been toppled by a LibDem, Frank Cottrell Boyce has been appointed Children's Laureate and our youngest daughter and her family, whom we haven't seen for nearly two years, are arriving on Friday, the oldest grandchild's eleventh birthday. Ooh, and the cortisone injection into a nerve in my back seems to have worked. So much to be pleased about.
