Good morning all from sunny ? Llandudno
We have now done our grave rounds - put silk flowers ? on the family grave on the Great Orme and the Jones’s one outside Deganwy. Today I think we are going to Bodnant Gardens - never been in September, so should be quite different from Easter.
I’ll try to post a picture of St Tudnos church which is at the cemetery
A beautiful and peaceful location
My thoughts are with you GrandMattie flowers.
Have the best day possible folks!

Good morning from NE Hampshire. It’s looking grey here but hopefully will stay dry.
grandMattie you are so brave. How hard it must be to stay strong for your family, particularly your grandson. I’m joining everyone else sending you love and wishing you strength today.

This has been a sad thread this summer Urmstongran. I’m hoping the missing posters will return when they feel able to.

Wishing all as good a day as possible

Good morning from a grey Leicestershire.
I often don’t post as I have nothing to say Urmston. There are many missing posters but especially miss Marydoll’s novellas.

Coffee with friends this morning while my lovely gardener does her magic.
I think I have a wasp nest in the eves. One of them stung me yesterday - it was very painful.

Happy Anniversary monk.
I hope you have a better day Harrigran.
My thoughts as always with Mattie and her family.

Good morning from a sunny Morecambe Bay. Hopefully it will be the same in Keswick as I’m off to garden there. DH will go off for a walk and pick me up later. Sometimes he works with me but not today. He’s celebrating the consultant moving him from three monthly to six monthly check ups.
My thoughts are with all who are struggling but in particular gM and Harrigrans ?
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Morning Mick, morning All. Mist lifting over our corner of Somerset and a sunny day forecast

Today’s excitement will be a grocery delivery. It seems nothing missing. Wow. Overdid the exercises a bit yesterday, will listen to my protesting body and go gently today. I had such good care I don’t want to let the surgeon and medical staff down by not doing my part.

Jax I know you’ve done a lot of walking but have you made it to Brean Down? The views are spectacular and the fort at the end interesting. Shame to miss it.

A hard day ahead mattie, love to you all flowers.

Congratulations monk, a very happy anniversary to you both. Thinking of all with joys or sorrows, all of life is represented in this thread I always think.

Take care everyone. Hope Wednesday is gentle with us all.

Good morning Mick and the GM team from east London, where we have blue skies.

I too have been thinking of grandMattie and her family and am sending good thoughts.
All good wishes to harrigran and Mrh.

We have a man coming today about new windows for our house. I am not looking forward to this at all.

Wishing all the Good Morningers a pleasant day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a damp and gloomy South Yorkshire. New carpeting is all fitted so we are not picking our way up the stairs trying to avoid a minefield of gripper rod now. Bliss! I have a cake to finish decorating today and then DD et al are coming over for dinner later.
Happy Anniversary Monk; have a lovely day.
Kind thoughts to Grandmattie? through this the hardest of times.
Have the best day you can folks.

Happy Anniversary Monk and Mr Monk ?

GrannySomerset Wed 15-Sep-21 08:54:01

Early morning fog is gradually lifting and am planning on taking DH to a coffee morning run by the local Parkinson’s group in the hope of learning from others living with this horrible illness. He is not keen - not hugely clubable at his best, never mind now, but am selling it as helpful for me.

Thinking of gMattie and harrigran in particular, and missing Marydoll, Grandmafrench and EllanVannin who no longer post, for whatever reason.

Aldom Wed 15-Sep-21 08:57:34

grandMattie Holding you close in my heart.
When my daughter and I did this we took a photograph of my son. Sometimes I look at it and it helps. Just a thought. flowers

Good morning all, I have the washing machine churning away , more in hope than expectation ! It’s a bit grey out
My prayers and thoughts to grandMattie
? ? ? to our missing posters

fatgran57 Wed 15-Sep-21 09:05:38

grandMattie - thinking of you.

There are sadly very good reasons why many of us are reluctant to post on this thread. Hello to EllanVannin, Muse, Grandmafrench, seacliff, Nannagarra hope you are all keeping well.

Wishing Mr &Mrs Monk a very happy anniversary! ?❤️?

Good morning Mick and all from a mixed up weather wise day on the Lancashire coast.
Not sleeping well due to bad back and there seem to be quite a few on here, very draining. More fruit picking in order and house stuff after out most of the day yesterday. Music club meeting very enjoyable with a wide range of music and I sang a music hall song for the first time with parasol and hat for good measure. Forgot my aching back for a while.
Watched old film, Reckless Moment last night, it was a cracker and James Mason, my heartthrob ? I think he could make me forget the olde back…
Thoughts to grandMattie ??

Morning from S Lanarkshire where the mist is slowly clearing.
Slightly later up this morning after a broken night’s sleep. At least I finished my book about 4.30am.

Exercise class at one o’clock today, usual coffee and chat afterwards. Then first dental appointment for two years, and I had to exaggerate gum pain to get it!

Happy anniversary to you and your husband monk and thoughts to those suffering in some way today.

?to grandMattie, thanks for posting, and wishing a good day to everyone ???

Happy Anniversary Mr&Mrsmonk ??. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle where yesterday was wet and gloomy. I'm off to donate more things to the charity shop, clothes this time. I have clothes for every occasion and clime but holidays and social events aren't happening right now. I'm tempted to get rid of a lot more but can't quite get myself to do so. Meanwhile I am steadily disposing of a mountain of DH's photo albums by scanning the prints into the computer. They are more impressive on the big screen anyway.
I will be thinking of you, grandMattie, a hard but important experience today . No one in the family but myself would view my DH but I'm glad I did so. My last opportunity to have a few words with him and to see him looking so handsomely turned out for his final journey. I still remember him like that so clearly. And I hope you will find some comfort in it too.

Blossoming Wed 15-Sep-21 09:32:37

Good morning Mick and all. It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Lancashire. Temperature currently 19°C.

I have an appointment at the GP surgery this morning and then the last 2 cupboards to empty.

Welcome to any new posters. Best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs to anybody suffering. Wishing a safe journey to anybody traveling.

Have the best day possible ??
