Good Morning Everyone,
Its still dark , but its raining here in Brackley this morning.
Today, after my short stay in MK yesterday , going on the bus both ways.
Today, I have booked at a pub in Banbury for a Sunday roast, but my visit to the town is due to a 100th anniversary of the local bus garage , they will be having some vintage "Midland Red" buses on display and also giving rides.

Good morning everyone! It is very wet here in the Market Harborough area. I'm doing some glass painting today which I have just started to do and I love it. My idea is to do some vases and hopefully box them and send them away as presents. Great plans - I'll post a photo or two later. Have a lovely day! x

Hi and welcome.
I've been to 5 games in Italy...many years ago I might add.
Met Adrian Mutu.
Lots of fun but not when the police met the fan train and penned us into a disused yard until the home team were in the gates.
Mind you, they were quite friendly, laughing and joking and handing out cigarettes.
That probably doesn't happen nowadays.
Italy, my favourite foreign country, especially Sardinia and the coastal drive down to Capri.

marydoll good wishes and hope you have got your feet up. Think of NY.

Wrote a 'sorry' note and lost it...
Forgot my manners, wanted to send best wishes to Gillybob, Marydoll, dragonfly and everyone struggling with health issues, ill relatives and 1001 other problems which lie on the shoulders of many GNers.
I do admire your stoicism and attempts to keep home life on an even keel. You are the unsung heroes who stoke the fires and keep a welcome light in the window through good times and bad.
Your quiet acts are far more impressive than full page ads and are not unnoticed by those of us who have few, if any, problems,
I take my hat off to GNers everywhere. smileflowers

I would like to thank so many of you for your warm welcomes.

Am sorry that some of you seem to be in the wars and are having a hard time at the moment. My best wishes to you in your time of trouble.

To those of you who love Italy, may I suggest that you AVOID Rome itself for the time being. With the abysmal ongoing administration, the city is an absolute mess: piles of rubbish, roads full of potholes, underground lines closed down. There are even wild boar wandering the streets now. Saw a hilarious video of a sow crossing a main road with all her babies in line behind her and on the ZEBRA CROSSING too! More orderly than the Romans themselves!

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm sorry to read that so many of you are feeling sad and/or worried today, and hope that as the day progresses you will feel a little better.

gillybob I'm sorry to read that your DH is so poorly and hope that the op goes well and that you get the help and support you need at the moment.

Welcome, giulia. I think that you will find this thread a friendly and supportive one.

The weather has been and continues to be wet, grey and miserable here. We popped out for a light lunch of soup to a nearby garden centre who produce lovely home cooked fare at a very reasonable cost. We will be a having a chicken dish that I saw on the tv this week for dinner. It looked very tasty. I'll let you know how it was tomorrow.

Goodness, giulia, wild boar roaming the streets of Rome? It sounds as if the city is having a few problems!

Take care, all.
