Good Morning Sunday 7th June 2026

Good morning from yet another grey day in Bristol. Sunshine and showers, but the wind yesterday was something else; one minute still, the next being blown away.
When I got dressed and went out for the paper as usual yesterday, I stopped at the greengrocer’s for some fruit. I saw a box (3kg) of blueberries, bought it and made jam with it in the following 2 hours.
By the time I got to church for coffee, I was very tired, but the jam is very popular.
The rest of the day was spent sewing (I’m edging the squares) before deciding on the backing, the arrangement of the squares and so on), cooking my various meals, reading and watching tv.
Today, church and potter, more sewing no doubt.
I hope those travelling are safe, and everyone has a peaceful, blessed Sunday. 🐦‍🔥 Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Morning all from Malta.

Back home today! So breakfast, finish packing and off to the airport. It is such a short distance but I don’t think we’ll actually get home until around 11 pm.

We have a busy week coming up. OH has a meeting tomorrow afternoon and must also visit his bees. He is very worried about them as they are not thriving. I want to talk to our garden lady about buying a jacaranda tree in a pot. I’m also looking forward to trying out my new sewing machine. I’ve also got Craft Group. On Friday I’m meeting younger son in London and we’re going to Buyers Day at the Summer Exhibition in the Royal Academy. He’s then coming home for the weekend for the first time since the week before Christmas.

Have a good day everyone, I hope there’s a bit of sunshine ☀️.

Good morning from Malta where it’s hot and sunny.🇲🇹

My treasures arrived at 8.30am yesterday and were absolutely sweet. They stripped off and went straight into the paddling pool although DGS2 is more interested in the hosepipe and insists the pool needs more water.

He also spent a while ‘cleaning’ their playhouse which involved a lot of water being thrown around but he actually did a good job!

We then went up to the local park where they had a whale of a time with two older girls who kindly played along with them, then we walked back home and played until DGS2 fell asleep at 1.30pm. DD3 came for them at 2.30 and I missed them. They are such fun to have around.

A quiet day today, Mass then a chat with my pal in Leicester who is having awful pain from sciatica at the moment. Then the Men’s final which I’m hoping will be won by an Italian but I’m not holding my breath.

grandMattie I honestly don’t know how you do it, you’re amazing!🤩

I have booked the pest control to come - first available appointment 30th June so I’m nervously checking for unwanted ‘visitors’ until then! 🪳

Hoping you all have a good day.🤗

Good morning from damp South Lanarkshire.

DGD’s netball team didn’t take the win yesterday but I’m hoping that they will manage to get over the disappointment and see what an achievement it was to get to the final. The other team were just better on the day.

DD was hosting an end of season party for the team last night but we bowed out and came home to relax.

Mass this morning and back this evening as the annual service to celebrate the start of our town’s Gala Week is being held in our church. We will then have tea and sandwiches to our visitors so the hall will have to be set up in between.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Safe journey Llfl. You seem to have packed a lot into your week. I hope you’ve enjoyed yourselves. Also hope the bees are ok.x

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
I've been awake for hours so I am popping in to say hello and have a cuppa and try for an hour or two more sleep 😴

I don't have the will or energy to make jam gMattie well done you.

You have a busy week planned LLfL safe journey home.

I had a house viewing yesterday. A very nice couple who were here for over an hour.

Then the volunteers' tea party which included prosecco, strawberries and cream and karaoke!

During the day 4 friends helped me to organise my books and have a clear out of one room. It's not clear but it's better.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Good morning from Cornwall where it's dry and calm and clear-skied. Yesterday's winds were phenomenal. At one point I clung to a wall on the way to the shops. My granddaughter came to visit and we watched intrigued as the branches of the tall trees above my patio pirouetted and the rain lashed down. The atmosphere was wonderful, so energising. We had a gentle few hours together, she watching pony antics on YouTube and I making bolsters for my new day bed. Meanwhile her nine-year-old brother was at a football awards celebration with his dad, where he was voted Players' Player and was awarded a cup by a well-known guest footballer. 🥳😊

Today, after church, I'll hop on a bus to my arty daughter-in-law's new home for my first meal there. She does a mean roast dinner. I'm looking forward to seeing how she and my grandson have settled in as she is a great home-maker and I'm so happy that Cornwall Housing provided them with this cosy forever home just when they needed it. There is so much to be grateful for.

Good morning from N.Bucks. We had a lot of rain yesterday but non pred today , just dull and cool.
Maybe the garden will get weeded and tidied this morning .
This afternoon we are going to a Golden Wedding celebration for some friends we have know since our children’s early schooldays.
Safe travels to those on the move and hope our poorlies find some relief. A good day wished for all.
