Good that she’s a hardy Northerner FGT - it’s Baltic here today, with a cold wind too.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. There’s a very cold wind, Big. Coats are needed!

MrB and I have enjoyed a walk around the Marina. We are now waiting to see some steam trains.

As always, thinking of those with troubles in their lives.

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing.

Condolences harrigran, the loss of a good friend is awful and the suddenness in this case is extra difficult. How lovely that she sent you an ‘I’m thinking about you’ gift last week, a last loving message to treasure x

Good morning all from a od breezy Co Armagh
Isn’t nature amazing , everything is flowering in spite of the cold , I put my coat on ad inspected everything , my big cherry is building up to break out into a froth of pink, just as the mini cherrys are shedding their bloom in the scurrying winds
I’m not sewing tomatoes this year, I have been promised plants , but if I see my fav in the garden center I might get one
I’ve spilt my tea ,!!
Hope today I’d good for all

Good morning from a sunny but refreshingly windy Torquay. Awfully late for me! This is positively my final day here, after another comfy night in a Premier Inn bed. Yesterday I took the bus to Dawlish, crossing the bridge at Teignmouth with water on both sides. I love Dawlish for the juxtaposition with the rail track and the beach - such an interesting contrast. Ambled around the pretty little town and then caught a train back to Torquay. The track ran along the estuary edge for half the journey, which was unexpected and picturesque. I wasn't tired enough to sleep all night and watched the harbour lights twinkling from my fourth floor room at 3am. I drank tea and read an Agatha Christie book while the town slept. And here is the grande dame herself immortalised in bronze by the harbour.

I may stop off at quirky Totnes on the way home if I can be bothered to lug around my suitcase and a bag full of charity shop jigsaws. 😄
