Good morning from a dark but dry Torbay.

A greeting that encompasses everyone, grandMattie, thank you!

Safe travels to Anglesey, Susan56, and I’m glad you’re feeling better, Mick. Take care.

DH is returning to France today so we shall be on the road to Newton Abbot by 7.00 am so he can catch the train to Paddington.

Happy hump day, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a dry Bristol. The yo-yo temperatures are here atm. I always feel flummoxed as to what to wear…
Yesterday was quiet, with my usual baking, and I made 3 patchwork blocks (they consist of 4x4 squares), a lot of time is spent pressing each of the seams…. My iron is always very busy.
Laundry done, dried on the line, folded/ironed and put away.
I had a quiet afternoon, only making a slow cooker chicken stew for the freezer, which is now full.
I watched the last episode of “Pilgrimage”. I find it very interesting to hear the celebs attitude to their faith or none. I was particularly taken by Hasan’s deep faith but also his attitude to everyone else’s. What a nice man.
FAB cafe this morning, book group this afternoon. I haven’t read the book (Gone with the Wind) as I had no desire to, despite much persuasion!
I hope that everyone has a good day - travellers, poorly and sad, the contented, everyone!
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and all to follow from Shropshire.Another sunny day forecast.

Today we are going for a drive to Anglesey with DD1 and the children.My grandma had a cottage there which is where I spent the school holidays so a nostalgic day ahead.

It’s good your health has settled down Mick.

Thinking of our absent good morning friends and all struggling.Wishing everyone a good day 🦩🌻
