Good Morning Easter Sunday 20th April 2025

Happy Easter. Good morning from a cloudy W Kent.
Happy birthday Blue Sapphire enjoy your day
Have a great time RosesandherMaw
Family lunch today which I am cooking, fingers crossed it all goes well.
Best wishes to all

Morning Mick, morning All from a brightening corner of Somerset. Happy Easter wishes to everyone. 🐥

Off out for a stretch this morning. Roast beef here later rather than lamb, I eat little meat and just don’t like lamb - although I do enjoy home made mint sauce.

A very happy birthday BlueSapphire, your photos have triggered happy memories for us. I’m sure there will be much excitement when you, glammargran and bellasnana meet later.

Safe travels maw and all on the move. I’m also wondering about maryd. Wishing everyone a good day whatever you may be doing with warm thoughts to all managing life’s challenges.

Good morning from a cloudy Suffolk where we hope the sun will put in an appearance later.

DS and family are coming for lunch and the DGC have requested trifle for pudding so that is my first task of the day. DH will deal with the main course.

I hope I can post a photo of the simnel cake….here goes.

Hope today is a blessed one for all.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

The weather forecast is good for today so MrB and I are planning to take my wheelchair out for a walk this afternoon.

Have a peaceful Sunday and a Happy Easter 🌹

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry with light grey cloud
Sorry to hear about your DHs sister greyduster 💐
A very Happy Birthday BlueSapphire, what a lovely way to spend your special day. I hope you, Bellas and Glamma enjoy your meet up later!
Also a big Congratulations to your son tanith 🥂
A quiet day for us today, just me and DH but looking forward to just relaxing an enjoying each others company. We’ve a lot of travelling coming up over the next couple of weeks so we need to get sorted out for that too
Wow ginny great photos, thanks for sharing!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good Morning Mick and everyone from bright Carlisle. Blue skies and white fluffy clouds at the moment, but cool with it.

Yesterday, I popped out very early for a few necessities i.e the papers and more english asparagus which I am pigging out on at the moment. I'd planned to go to the nearby village for a change but found the road blocked by the current bypass works. As the detour meant going through town and passing Sainsbury's, I gave up and went into their store instead.
Back for a long phone chat with my sister and then spent most of the day reading and finishing off another book. It wasn't a day to tempt me outside, the wind was really cold.

Today, I'll be out for a short walk and then a bit of pootling about in the garden. Plus, there's admin and research to do on the computer.

A very happy birthday to you BlueSapphire and many more of them. Enjoy your cruise....I'd like to see the Grand Harbour of Valletta sometime.

Thinking of you Marydoll....

Good morning all and it’s a bit lack lustre type of weather here in Essex.

Yesterday ds1 and I got a lot done in the garden (mainly him).
We bought plants for pots and I treated him to a white Rhododendron for the Japanese area in his beautiful garden.

Dh sat on a stool and watched us for a while in the sunshine.
DS worked like a trouper as usual (a whirling dervish) , so strong and fit - I plodded around behind him, like an old cart horse. 🥵. He does tend to break things though, this time the yard broom. 😬.

He’s coming back this morning with DIL, to fix the toilet seat which is hanging off. He’ll probably snap it and have to buy a new one 😂. What would we do without him ❤️.

Have a lovely meet up Malta Girls and Happy Birthday Bluesapphire.🥳.

Happy Easter Sunday to you all. ⛪️.

Lovely Simnel cake Liberty. Enjoy your family lunch . 🥰

Fabulous Liberty 👌

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire. We are predicted a sunny day.

We have had a hectic week so are looking forward to a quiet day and some nice roast lamb.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from an overcast Black country.
Happy birthday BlueSapphire🎉🎂🎁 have a lovely day and enjoy your meet up, thanks for the photos it bought back memories Malta was DS first holiday abroad aged 4.
RosieandherMaw safe travels and enjoy your break in Amsterdam.
Quiet day here today the family are away with the in-laws.
Do hope Marydoll and family are ok.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed. ☀️

Good morning from a cool and overcast NE, yet again.
Yesterday was another day of doing very little, vaccination arm still stiff and sore.
I did run the vacuum around downstairs but it stopped working suddenly in the lounge. Thought the bag might be full, it wasn't, I detached the hose and found a chocolate had been sucked in completely blocking the inlet 🤔
DD and SIL are visiting this afternoon and we will have coffee and cake and then make dinner together.
DS and family are on holiday in Downton, DIL'S parents live in the village where it was filmed. I hope they are a having better weather than the north is.
Happy birthday BlueSapphire enjoy your meet up.
Happy Easter everyone.

Happy Easter everybody! It’s going to be a lovely sunny day with a high of 17°C according to Alexa. 🌞

Lunch today is at our younger daughter and son in law’s - a roast lab dinner. I’m so glad I passed that baton over years ago. We will pick my stepfather up. He’s looking forward to seeing them all.

I have an Easter egg which I’m sure I will break into this evening!

*oh heck for all you dog lovers please don’t panic at my typo!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday BlueSapphire 🍾
What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?
‘Aye matey’

Good morning from a dull Black Country, where sun is predicted for later!

Roast Lamb for lunch today with all the trimmings. Will drive over later to bring Mum over.

Wishing BlueSapphire a very happy birthday, and enjoy your meet up.

Enjoy your trip Maw proud Mum moment indeed.

Hoping Marydoll is ok

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter Day.

Good morning and Happy Easter from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
Fun time in the city last night with two soprano friends, a good meal and lively company. We met early so not too late a night. As I hardly ever drink alcohol now, I’m feeling the effects, although I didn’t have much.
I’m going to have to find some going out shoes which are more comfortable. The kitten heels I wore, though not high, proved painful at the end of the night.

As often happens after alcohol and kitten heels, I’ve had terrible cramp all night, up and down, rubbing muscle spray on my legs and feet.

Enjoy the opera RosieandherMaw, you will be very proud. Birthday greetings to Blue Sapphire, have a good trip out Blossoming on a nice day and thoughts to all🌺

Happy Easter and good morning from my bed in Leamington.
We are about to have the ritual of the Easter Egg hunt, mainly for the 9 year old but the two teenagers love it too.
Nothing planned today, we are being lazy.
Enjoy your meet up in Malta, Happy Birthday to Bluesapphire.
Have a very proud mum moment in Amsterdam Maw.
Wishing you all a lovely day xx

Good morning all and happy Easter. We are promised much better weather today in Glasgow. No rain and not such a chilly wind.

I am looking forward to DD1 and the girls arriving later for our
annual Easter egg hunt followed by an egg and spoon race around the flowering cherry tree. I asked them earlier this year as they will be 16 and 20, if they were interested in having this annual event. Both were shocked that I would even think to ask such a question it was something they both enjoy…….hard boiled eggs will be ready to decorate upon their arrival. An early dinner is planned after the fun around 5.00pm….fish suppers have been requested. No roast lamb full on meal works for me after years of toiling in the kitchen.

How upsetting to lose your wedding ring baubles
GM, I get it. 💐
Goodness FGT…..my favourite breed of dog too!😂
Thoughts with MD x

Have a happy Sunday all or as best you can.

Happy Easter everyone.

Good morning and Happy Easter to everyone, blue sky beginning to peep through here in my bit of South Lanarkshire but only 4 degrees.

Your mass sounds wonderful baubles, how lovely, I hope you get to keep your man.

Happy Birthday Blue Sapphire, what an amazing way to celebrate it, have a great day.

I didn’t go to the vigil last night, I don’t like walking home in the dark now so off shortly to mass and then straight on to DD4’s for lunch and a’sleepover’! Farming daughter busy lambing and two others abroad so we shall be four. I had offered to cook then changed my mind and booked lunch at a good local restaurant, as FGT would say #lazygran😂

I hope everyone enjoys their day whatever they are doing and of course special thoughts to those needing them🙏🏻x

Happy Easter to all, and Happy Birthday Blue Sapphire. x

Good morning everyone from East Yorkshire.

Wishing you a very Happy 80th Birthday BlueSapphire and what a beautiful place in which to spend it. Enjoy your meet with the other grans. It sounds fabulous. 💐

It’s been a hectic week for us also and we are spending a few days at our home away from home.

Happy Easter to you all.

A very happy 80th Birthday Bluesapphire! It is a shock, isn't it, when you think back at how much you have done, where you have been - and of those beautiful middle-aged people our lovely babies have become 😉😁. And not to mention the upcoming generations - all of whom stem from that lucky meeting with the love of our lives. Enjoy your day, lucky lady! 🎈🎂

Just popping in to wish everyone a Happy Easter.

A sign at my local railway stations reads

‘I hope something good happens to you today’

and I wish that for all gransnetters.
