Morning All,

A lovely sunny one. :-D

Thrust Shelly to go one better with the Queen on her Avatar ..Ugh, but I do love to see us being Patriotic and when I see Union Jacks flying in Peoples houses I feel so proud to be British.
In USA their flag is flying in most buildings and houses all over the states and they are proud of their flag so we should do the same.

Got to take Step mother to the eye infirmary this afternoon, seems she wants me with her every time, I told her there are more than one in the family :-0 LOL

Thanks for all your good wishes for my celebration I did go out yesterday for a pub meal . hmm lovely.

Bath time ......

Take care all,

Hope you are OK Rita.

Oh great news Marilyn, it's so good to hear something positive for a change.
I bet the G+T's will be flowing tonight, and I don't blame you mate.
I bet Pete putting the flag up is for more than one reason, it's his way of showing how pleased he is about your news

Yvonne, Canada and Toronto, sounds great. Compared to my great yarmouth holiday, it sounds very grand, but I am sure you will both enjoy it love.
I sometimes wish that we had the courage to fly, but I do like my feet planted firmly on the ground ,coward that I am.

I sat in the garden this afternoon watching a Blackbird having a lovely bath, in our birdbath.
It looked so sweet, fluffing up it's feathers in between having six dips in the water, and having a good old scratch as well.

For goodness sake Hazel, havent they sorted out your money worries yet. I wonder how the powers that be, would cope if they had been in your shoes.
Do they expect you to live on fresh air or what.
Enjoy your break in Clacton with your sister.

(((((((((((((HUGS FOR RITA))))))))))))))

Bye for now folks, take care. Mo

Afternoon all

lovely sunny day, put some washing out on the line this morning.

Mo pleased you had a good week away and hope little Lilly is feeling better.

We've booked our holiday going to Canada for 2 weeks in August, Toronto and Quebec, rwally looking forward to it. We went to Toronto a couple of years ago on the way back from San Francisco but didn't have time for a proper look round.

Rita hope you are feeling better, how did your son get on at the hospital?

Marilyn you're very patriotic flying the flag :-)

Morning Rita and Maddie and all others when you join us
Sun is shinning. Going to risk planting the tomatoes in the greenhouse as they are too big to keep moving indoors, hopefully we won't get any more frosts overnight down south.
Off to the drs dietician this morning. Haven't seen her for 2 months so hope she will be pleased with my small weight losses. At WW last night I lost another pound and a half. They are happy it is averaging out at 1lb a week.

I have made the tiny cardigan and a hat to match and started another hat last night.

Off to our daughters tonight for dinner so another busy day.

Have a good day everyone, hopefully we can all get out in the sun at some point

Morning to everyone.

Cath/ Jean/ Posh Sue/ Linda/ Pauline / Shelley / Marilyn/ Mo / Yvonne / Stephen/ Maddie./ Hiua / George and Foggy .
I mention these as we seem to have lost Pat. / Agatha / Liz

Maddie i am wondering if Stephen is busy entertaining his Aussy Cousin ? that is why he has not been on board for a few days. Pauline must still be suffering with her back. get well soon Pauline. thinking off you.

Mo I am pleased you had a good holiday sorry about the little one being unwell. might have been the sea air that did that. my grandchildren often felt unwell for a couple of days after coming to Norfolk. my son said it was the bracing air that did it and the mist from the sea.
where was the Caravan you rented was it in Haven ?or Hemsby ?

Maddie dont change you warm clothes for summer one yet not till may is out. lol

have a good day everyone.

Pleased you had a good holiday Mo, but take good care of little Lily. Poor little thing, lots of steam will do her good.

I do hope Mrs Stephen is ok, we have not seen Stephen for a couple of days on here.

Have a good day all, get your bikinis out girls.
