Good morning from lovely s somerset, sunny today and breezy
Happy Easter. I am just about to be hedonistic, enjoying cacao and hazelnut spread on a slice of my sourdough plus an enormous mug of tea in a china mug. Simple pleasures after a good sleep
My rebounder is coming into its own, I do health rebounding. Moving one tall item made all the difference to re-positioning the rebounder and now it is to the side of my spacious hall. its new forever home
So today, another calm and happy day
Happy Easter!
Thankyou WhiteSwan63 for mentioning the orchard festival at Burton Angus
We changed our plans and spent a lovely few hours there.
The orchids were unbelievable. There were so many all over the house and all in perfect full flower.
Not sure what we will do today, maybe a walk.
Near here there is an RAF base that was active during the war but has now been taken over by nature. You can still see where the runway was and a few outbuildings.
Now it is a very pretty woodland and nature reserve with wild horses roaming.
The local church is also very interesting. It was partly destroyed during the reformation and was rebuilt with local bricks. I will go and say a prayer there
Take care everyone 
Good morning and Happy Easter from my hillside in south Glos. I don’t know what the weather’s doing but it was certainly very blustery last evening.
A lovely day yesterday with DS and his family. They went on a park run first thing then cooked eggs and bacon on their return 😋
Lots more chatting and laughter, it’s so nice having them here.
They return home later but not until we’ve had roast lamb with all the trimmings. DGS1 wants rhubarb crumble for pudding so I will be making that this morning, quick and easy and delicious with ice cream.
Wishing you all a peaceful day xx

Good morning and Happy Easter from Malta where we expect a fine day with a high of 22°C 😎
A quiet day yesterday but had a good walk with Milo. He does love to be out but stops to sniff at every post along the way. My DD1 says he’s sending ‘pee-mails’.😂
Surprised at around 8 pm when DD3 and DGS2 arrived to collect said dog. I was so happy to see them and hear what a great time they’d had.
DGS2 asked for Weetabix with applesauce so he had that before they left with Milo. I’ve still got the canary as there was too much to carry and I was already in my pjs.
I’ll go to Mass this morning and am invited to join DD3 and family for lunch out. It will only be the four of them as the in-laws are on holiday in Japan.
Wishing a good day to you all.🐣🐣
He is risen, hallelujah!✝️
Hood morning and happy Easter everyone.
Yesterday was curate’s eggish. I went for my paper at the local Imi Tesco when the manager, with whom I chat, called out asking if I’d like some flowers. Yes please! She gave me two bunches. I didn’t quite understand the origin, but thanked her.
When I went back that way to lean the church,I had a tin of cookies, so I stopped and offered her and her staff some. The lads were very pleased.
I did my cleaning, but noticed that by 10,15 no one had come to get the coffee ready. So I dropped everything and started to set up. One of the scheduled ladies sauntered in after 10 minutes. I explained what had happened, so without thanking me, told m3 she’d take over!
The other person never showed up, so I volunteered to stay on. She hardly did anything.leaving me to do it all. I was rather annoyed, and left at about midday, as I was tired and fed up. (I’ve never liked this lady)
Once home, I spent a quiet afternoon, enjoying the boat race, which the Cambridge chaps won. Yay!
I was too tired to go to the early evening service at DD’s church in town. I also didn’t want her to feel an obligation to take me home, rather than take the bus.
Rubbish night, full of peculiar dreams.
Today, I going to DD’s other church, for the Easter service, then on to lunch with the family.
Have a joyful day everyone. Carpe diem ☀️🦩❤️🦩🦩 ✝️
Good morning from a calm, mild Cornwall on this my favourite day of the year. My only regret is that I can't be in Jerusalem with my son to celebrate the Resurrection. We had planned to go but for obvious reasons have stayed away. I can't foresee our ever getting back there which is a shame. Anyway, he's collecting me at 6.15 and we're going to my church's sunrise service on a nearby beach, where two young people are being baptised in the sea, which will be a joyous event.
Later in the day I'm going with both sons and their families to an indoor games venue in the west of the county for bowling and eating. I'm useless at bowling but will play a mean game of air hockey with my grandchildren. I suppose chocolate eggs may feature at some point too. 😁 Pask Lowen to you all.
