Oh Marydoll I’ve only now read your post. You’ll have a very anxious weekend ahead. I hope Monday brings a degree of reassurance for you. I’ll be thinking of you with hope in my heart - and for Himself too - as we are at the Christie on Monday afternoon. I think we need a miracle now.

Good morning Mick and all from a dark but dry north 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 where I’m up with sparrowfart to enjoy my morning reviver ☕️ and our excitement today is a coach trip to Ludlow Food Festival 😋

I usually come home laden with goodies (of which samples will have been enjoyed especially the alcoholic ones for Mr PG🥳) a lovely start to autumn I feel!

Will pop back this evening to catch up with all your weekend bizzinesses, and hope those with challenges have an easier day x

Just reading the thread and this jumped out at me as Himself had suggested earlier in the year we go. Stay overnight in an hotel. My grandfather hailed from Ludlow and I only remember a couple of parts of it. I really fancied a trip there.
Sadly not to be now.

Late to read and respond today, but couldn’t just scroll on without sending 💐to * Marydoll* and echoing sentiments already spoken upthread about her news today. Sending love and big hugs to you MD and your family. xx

Marydoll, it seems you have just about the whole of Gransnet rooting for you! I hope it helps.
As for telling your family, that is entirely your decision as you know them better than anyone. Do what you think us right for them, and for you.
Big hugs from me, and, I’m sure, from other Gransnetters

Rosie thank you for pointing that out. I did not want to print the whole song.

At the end of a storm, there is always a golden sky,

When you walk through a storm, always a golden sky

flowers

I think you’ll find the line is actually

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
( Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone )
Uplifting words, thinking of you Marydoll 💝

Crossstitchfan Sat 13-Sept-25 11:24:34

Jaxjacky, so sorry about your son who is grieving for his friend. Life can be a b*tch at times, often to those who don’t deserve it.

Aldom Sat 13-Sept-25 11:17:23

Jaxjacky flowers for your son and the family of his friend. I know the pain of suicide.

Marydol sending you love and strength. flowers

Whiff

Just heard on the radio 3 nuns have escaped from a nursing home and gone back to their convent . The church closed it down due to repair costs. But it didn't say if they where going to let them stay as that's where they want to die . Hope they let them stay. Especially as they had spent their lives there .

The public is on their side. An electrician has got the electrics working and a locksmith has sorted the locks. Bless them, they deserve some peace so I hope they get it.🙏

Good morning from a sunny midlands.

Thank you for all your uplifting kind wishes yesterday. Black dog and estrangement are horrible. Hugs to all.

After your day from hell yesterday, I hope things are a little calmer today. I’m glad the sun is out. That always helps.

Holding you in my thoughts Marydoll. Your courage ( and other GNs ) never fails to both amaze and encourage me. X

Good morning from a grey, damp and rather chilly S E Essex.

Just back from local shops, not a lot needed just a joint of pork for tomorrow and a few veggies.

Take care 🙋‍♀️
