Good Morning Bank Holiday Monday 225th August 2025

Good morning from Crewe where a vivid sunrise suggests a scorching Bank Holiday is likely.

I’m now staying with DD2, SIL, DGS2 and DGD. Our family meal at an Ego restaurant went well especially as dietary needs had to be accommodated but service was very slow despite it not being full. However, a pleasant surprise was the 30% reduction on the final bill, acknowledging the unacceptable length of time we’d waited. The food was fine …. when it arrived!

After the meal, we all relaxed at DD2's home and were treated to a picture show from DGS2's recent football tour of South Africa which included wonderful shots taken on safari.

Hope you enjoyed your trip to Bath, Mick.

Happy Bank Holiday. Thinking of those who are struggling especially the FGT’s.

Good morning from a clear, dawning Bristol.
My heart is full of sorrow after learning FGT’s news. I have no words. All I can say is cling to each other, say all the things you want to say, love much…. The whole family is constantly in my heart and prayers. ❤️
Yesterday was quiet after church. I had a surprise call from DS. He seems to be settling in. He absolutely loves teaching, it’s the other things like being on duty over the weekend and not able to go out which he finds less exciting.
I picked another load of baby tomatoes from my three plants. They have been very generous and I’ve been able to give my neighbours a small handful most days. When asked what variety was, I caused much hilarity when replying “on3 red, one orange and on3 yellow”!
I have finished the horrible quilt and can’t wait to take it to the hospice shop!
Nothing happening today. The DD family is away. Same old, same old.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and anyone else awake. The sky is just beginning to lighten here in SWWales. Another dry day forecast but rain tomorrow hopefully.
Nothing much to do today , so a quiet day.
Enjoy the bank holiday everyone.
Thinking of you FGT
