  • Good morning all.
    It is an absolutely awful morning here.
    Driving wind and rain and cold as well.
    We have to attend a funeral this morni g.
    Our neighbours son took his own life over the Christmas.
    He grew up with my children and so it has shocked us all.

    Enjoy your day all because you dont know what's coming down the track,
    My poor neighbour is a broken woman.

    And when your back stops aching,
    And your hands begin to harden.
    You will find yourself a partner,
    In the glory of the garden.

    • Bramble, that is a terrible situation. Devastating for his mother. I don't have the words. A very big cyber-hug, Bramble.

            • Afternoon n’alln’all
              Just got back from escorting our son to the ferry. Couldn’t help but have a bit of a sob as he drove away onto the ferry. But your sad news puts that into perspective bramble . Absolutely heartbreaking- so sorry xxx

              Rary - that’s a lovely looking plant- such an unusual shade of flower too!

              I just goooogoed that about seagulls gf…and yup - it’s still correct!
              We always had them in the playground at junior school…looking out for dropped snacks. They’d arrive about 10 minutes before the morning break bell rang! Not daft eh?
              Up at the coast earlier today we spotted a few different varieties of gulls- also cormorants , gannets , geese, and plenty of other birds I’m ashamed I couldn’t ID. Apart from a strong, cold, gusty wind it was actually dry!
              We came back early as the smoke/CO alarm in the campervan kept going off. Most disconcerting as it was the smoke alarm warning going off. Even when it was outside the van ..finally we realised it must have got dusty inside- so with a good blow, it was fine. Apparently they need to be vacuumed from time to time to prevent that from happening.

              Think we’ll have a slow evening. See ya later peeps.

                • ^Rary, I'm a mere novice mod. Doubtless Bren and Nicos will see this, but just in case, I'll alert them. I'm sure there will be a solution.

                      Blue skies here but really windy. Thank goodness our son didn’t sail home today!

                      Domestics for me today before our next set of friends arrive, and refresh some of the festive greenery seeing as it’s staying up until 12th night.

                      Anyone doing any new year celebrations? I think I’m more in need of an early night

                      Kettle’s on if anyone fancies a brew?

                      Enjoy your day as best you can peeps x

                        Nicos yes please to a brew just noticed mines gone cold. no celebrations here probably just watch the fireworks, it looks like the weather will be a bit of a dampener this evening..

                        • Good Morning All. Fine at the moment and the pan's on so you're welcome to a bacon buttie if you want one. Have a lovely Sunday

                          • I’d love a bacon butty please Flo!…yummy yum ta muchly x
                            Just about to have porridge for brunch, but I’m sure I could find space in my tummy- after all, I’ve been in training all week to fit in a teeny weeny bit more food throughout the day!

                            I’d forgotten about fireworks at midnight Bren. They are a big thing here. Then and Bastille Day are about the only time you see fireworks in the shops - although I thought a new law had come in recently saying only at organised events.

                            • Morning all.

                              Cloudy and cold. The weather we should have had yesterday. Hunters nearby, so we're all stopping indoors anyway.

                              New Year's Eve... Where did this year go? Feels like last week was mid-February. Not sure I'll be staying up to see the new year in. Feeling rather tender after recent excesses. So much so I'll pass on the bacon butty, Flo. Thanks for the offer, though.

                              Got plenty to keep me busy today, but first job will be light the range. Too chilly to sit here any longer without it.

                              Have a great day, everyone.

                              • Good morning. We're having a brief sunny interlude at the moment, but more rain forecast later.

                                I've just taken buns out of the oven and cleaned the cooker, not a hard job since I use oven liners and the top is stainless steel.

                                Bramble, how sad. Virtual hug from me too.

                                A quiet New Year for us. I remember getting all dressed up in totally unsuitable clothes in my younger days and partying all night at New Year.

                                Off to make coffee to have with buns now.
