Good Morning Tuesday 20th May 2025

Try again…

Bum! Second photo won’t work….

Beautiful open skies

The hill!

Good morning from a hillside in south Glos, clear skies here too.
I took tiddler for a long walk yesterday after walking bigger dog, a route with part of it new to me. It’s a long haul back to the top of the hill but lovely views and very peaceful. The sun came out as we went uphill, the breeze dropped and it was very warm work! That’s the hill in the photo! The one with the church in the distance.
As tiddler is a flat faced dog I have to be very aware of her needs being different from the other dog’s so in warm weather she’ll get a good walk early on and that’s it unless the weather cools off in the evening. She’s perfectly happy pottering around the garden.
I spent some time in the afternoon sorting out the overgrown border by my summerhouse, dug out two shrubs, discovered heucheras, two shrub roses and a germ struggling to survive. After a really good watering ( the soil is like dust), I added a bag of manure/compost and gave it another good soaking. I hope it works!
Today another early walk then I will start a watercolour painting.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Gorgeous flowers, Ash.

And here are the flowers….

Good morning from a bright and sunny Torbay, possibly the last day when such weather is expected.

I had contact with all three children yesterday, including DD1 in Australia and enjoyed hearing from them. My DS sent the flowers, delivered late afternoon by our favourite florist. She was full of apologies but said their flower delivery to the shop was late due to customs delays. Thanks, Brexit!

The play (The Late Edwina Black) was very long with two intervals. Unusually for me, I didn’t join folk in the bar afterwards as I was very tired. My first Front of House duty in a while sapped my energy, especially following the exercise class in the morning.

Thinking of those facing difficult times. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from Malta where it’s cloudy at present but a sunny 26°C is forecast. Hopefully not as windy as yesterday.

Had a good day with the boys yesterday, my tummy troubles gradually improved during the day which was good as they were two Duracell bunnies, never stopped, no nap and it was a challenge trying to explain to DGS2 why he mustn’t do somersaults off the sofa (into the dog’s bed🤦🏼‍♀️) until the wound in his tum is fully healed.

I’m off again in a minute, hope to take them out today as it’s a long day otherwise.

Hope you all have a good day, special thoughts to all who are dealing with troubles of one sort or another.☀️

Good morning from a still cool Bristol. The cold nor’easterly has finally reduced.
My quilt is now finished, bar the date and my initials that convention requires to be embroidered on a border. At last.
Today, I have an empty, but I need to make some more cranberry and orange marmalade as my stocks are low. I shall also carry on with another quilt.
I need to transplant my tomato plants to the big pots, but must to take out the tulip bulbs first.
The FGTs are much in my thoughts today. 🍀🫂
May your day be joyful. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
