Morning What a simply awful day yesterday, hail, sleet, snow, rain, thunder, wind and if you didn’t blink a tiny hint of sun. Today is better but still not good. I kept looking at my beautiful cherry tree which came into full flower on Sunday. So far it has withstood the wind and rain but it won’t t...

It will improve steadily after today Sue. See my forecast. "its not an easy surgery to get an appoint with." That's par for the course now Sue and it's a disgrace. It makes me so angry...... I hope you do better than you expect! :good: Well at dead on 8 the queue is now full so it looks l...

Morning After two lovely fairly warm sunny days we are back home to 6 degrees and rain. Its so depressing. I hope Spring arrives in Rochdale soon. We have had two leafy green days too now its back to leafless twigs on trees, although ornamental cherry tree has come into flower over the weekend which...

Morning Sue. What a shame that there were those negative aspects of the city. Never mind, I know you will have made the most of the stay. I take it you will be heading home today. I hope the day goes well. :good: It was still a fun day though and lovely and warm and dry after weeks of 5 degrees and...

Morning I forgot to say we did another of the mystery tours in Nottingham, like the one we did in York but it was harder. It certainly gets you round the city, walking over 4 miles looking for clues. We started at the castle and ended at the ‘oldest pub’ in the castle walls and caves under the castl...

Didn’t gat on this morning, we were up and out early to get to Nottingham for the day. Bob needed to deliver some railway stuff to someone just outside Nottingham, so we decided to spend the day there first. We are now in a Premier Inn on the way over to Coventry where we will go tomorrow morning fo...

Morning Busy morning. Bob has a routine blood test at the GP and so we don’t end up with two cars at Tod I shall go with him. This means I shall be late for art but that is not an issue, I know what we are doing so am prepared. Having finished the jigsaw the other day I dismantled it yesterday and p...

She loves castles and has done since she was a toddler but this one is Harry Potter castle! . Apparently so did our two granddaughters! When we visited during our bucket and spade holiday up that way, they both wanted to do the broom riding training that was offered. That was until they called out ...

Morning I love those stories of Alnwick and particularly the witches broom :laugh5: yes Tripps its still the same. We holidayed near there a couple of years ago and as a child brought up in Chester le Street in the NE it was regularly on our itinerary when we went out for the day. I was always fasci...

Morning I presume you are getting visitors Stanley. Enjoy. We love watching those flight trackers too and used to always do so when Ed and Julia were to and fro ing with their jobs. Today promises to be a bit better day, I do hope so, yesterday was like December, 7 degrees feeling like 3 with torren...

Just fed the fish and all 6 big fish were present and correct despite the heron

Morning Another wet day in the offing. I shall continue with my sewing, learning french and doing a rather large jigsaw. I shall also pop down to B&M during the morning to buy some weather resistant string to attach our heron scarers to. 🤞that it works. At the moment they also have a small airfr...

It's a common story and is driven by councils getting 'advice from experts' which always revolve round doing away with what is there and functioning and replacing it with 'modern amenities'. I think you're right Sue, it will not survive and prosper as the solid regulars who make it a success now wo...

Morning Yes a dry day forecast and not even too windy or cold. Its Bacup market but then nothing else is planned. Have a good day all Hi Sue, is there much at the market nowadays, I’d heard half of it had been closed? We’ve never been, but have kept meaning to. I’ve just reread what you said….Bacup...

Morning

Morning A bit later this morning . We went to bed late as we were watching THE BANK OF DAVE on Netflix. I accidentally found it whilst searching for something to watch for half an hour before we went to bed and of course it was longer than half an hour. What a good film, we thoroughly enjoyed it. So...

Morning All good here. We had a very wet walk into Rochdale yesterday but coffee and a teacake at a cafe helped the walk back. The afternoon was a successful sewing session as Maxine and I managed to redesign the pattern. This morning will be sewing and doing some washing, this afternoon we are goin...

Morning Over 6 feet for a girl that is impressive , I hope the fashion and shoe world has managed to keep up with our growing female population. I thought Eve was tall, at 14 she is 5 feet 8 inches and still growing. I am pleased to report my legs are back to normal, that was an unpleasant couple of...

Morning A very quiet day yesterday as my legs were still playing up, most unusual. I finished the hand sewing on my top and now await the buttons that are on order so that i can do the buttonholes. We had a pleasant afternoon at Wendy and Keiths, there were 10 of us and the chatter was hearty. We al...

Morning A wet day today I think. Yesterday turned out sunnier than expected, a pleasant day on the whole. We pruned the apple tree, I weeded and tidied the front garden and Bob put preservative on the shed and waterproofed the chimney stack which jacuzzi Dave thinks is the cause of the slight damp o...

Morning Good day yesterday. We did a bit of garden pottering and I transplanted some of my seedings and geranium cuttings into bigger pots in the greenhouse. We enjoyed a good curry at the local restaurant with no ill effects for Bob although it was just the two of us as sadly Erin was ill so the ot...

Morning Just reading the posts above , can I. Say that yesterday I too experienced a lagtime in both opening articles and in posting. I commented to Bob that something was up. Yesterday turned out better than expected, the thundery rain didn’t happen and what rain we had was light and short lived. W...

Morning Yesterday art in the morning ( the demo went well) a short walk to the post box after lunch and sewing in the afternoon. This morning is hairdressers for a much needed cut followed by lunch out with Wendy and Keith. A largely uneventful day except for nearly being knocked over by a motorbike...

Morning It was definitely an indoor day yesterday. I nearly got my washing dry before the heavens opened, giving a mixture of rain, sleet and snow throughout the day. I dried the last of it in the drier or airing cupboard and so still managed to do the ironing. I then decoded to sew finding an old p...

Morning Our accommodation was lovely but it was so nice to sleep in our own bed last night, sleeping a solid 8+ hours. As Bob opened the curtains he saw the heron was standing in the shallow end of our pond, hopefully the fish were in the deep end. Wendy the snickleways walk was interesting though s...
