Morning

We are in a Premier Inn at Gloucester. After breakfast we are calling at our nieces to pick up some plants then we are off home. Its a dull day but any forecast rain is not until later. Have a good day all

Morning And we have run out of time for all the things we want to see. Yesterday we did the fashion museum which was much more interesting than expected, with a local historian answering questions and roll playing the daily personal life of a woman in the 1700s. We then visited a 9 th century restor...

Thank you for your research Stanley, but whenever I see an image of Durdle Door , in my mind I always see and think of a Sea Horse bending down and dipping its nose into the water. 😊 . Does anyone else see it? Morning I always think of an elephant….Stanley I found out the same as I was also fascina...

Morning

After three glorious days it is very cloudy this morning and due to remain so all day. Todays plans are to go to Kingston Lacy in Wimborne today, a National Trust house with gardens and parkland. I feel lots more walking coming on. Have a good day all.

When Bob and I had Covid it was much milder than any cold we had had and the after effects were zero. Any one we know who has had it have all been the same. I think these days the media likes to talk about it but there are worse things around . Sadly the media only tells us the negatives of both the...

We are working through unvisited counties isle of Wight from Swanage at noon today

Thanks Wendy I will follow that up. Always looking for book ideas

Looks nice Sue, we enjoyed Dorset when we went a few years ago. Some of my maternal relatives are from that part of the UK, Wimborne and around that area, my maternal grandma, Christiana's family. :smile: Yes its a beautiful place and I am amazed we have never been before. Its so quiet and you feel...

It looks beautiful Sue. I'm devouring various crime series on my Kindle. (It's easy reading when I'm lying awake at night.) At the moment it's The Dorset Crime Series by Rachael McLean which is giving me an introduction to the area! Murders all over the county. Interesting. I like books set in a re...

Morning It was a beautiful day yesterday which we spent down at Lulworth cove and walking over the headland to Durdle Door. We browsed the pebbles on the beach but saw few fossils of note. Today we are driving down to Swanage and taking a railway ride. On the way back we shall stop off at Corf Castl...

Morning Lovely day yesterday, we did a couple of walks but declined tge steep hike up Hambleton Hill. The station and intended track at Shillingstone was interesting. So much restoration has taken place but oh so much more to do. We stayed in Norfolk a couple of years ago Julie. We had a trip on the...

Morning Despite the forecast it was an ok day yesterday with just one really heavy shower around 2.00. Today is chilly but dry and sunny. We are out for lunch and investigating the villages locally plus a renovated old railway station that was built in the 1860s and closed one hundred years later. I...

Morning This is a very pretty cottage in a very quiet rural setting up a grassy lane. It is set in the large garden, mainly grassland, of the owner, probably a ‘granny’ home originally . The owners house is a beautiful thatched cottage. Yesterday was beautiful, today a little rain is forecast plus t...

Today’s forecast is good but rain for the next three day's of varying amounts. It was nice to see our niece and hus...

Morning Its bright this morning and a little warmer. There is a little rain forecast around lunchtime, otherwise a dry cloudy day. I am at art in Haslingden this morning, followed by a quick lunch. Then we shall set off to Dorset. We are staying overnight in Gloucester in a Premier Inn, but eating a...

It's chucking it down here as well, and if the forecast is to be believed it will be until 18.00 tonight or so. I've cleaned the bathroom, as per the rota, where does all the dog hair come from. By reason he should be bald with all the hair he loses! Steve however, never seemed to shed much in the ...

Glorious sunshine but strong wind this afternoon, but the heating came on this morning

Morning Torrential rain this morning getting lighter as the day goes on. A reasonable temperature of 19 degrees is forecast.we need the rain, Hollingworth Lake and the reservoir on Owd Betts are both very low indeed, with wide beaches all around. This morning we are at the Mini garage to sort out th...

Morning Its due to be a bit drier day than yesterday, a hint warmer but still as windy. We chuckled yesterday as torrential rain fell nearly all day with howling wind and the local weather forecast referred to light rain. The weather was so bad driving through the rain wind and cloud over Owd Betts ...

Morning This morning is dark and damp. I have french at Haslingden, then must get on with my sewing so I can get to a particular point before my next session with Maxine. This evening is yoga at the studio. I managed to get all the washing done and order returned to the spare room after Julia and fa...

Hi Sue, Mine is the one on the left. I take great joy in photographing orange minis! Little things for little minds! Morning I think mine is a little more red but not red. It has a funny name but can’t remember it. I had a busy afternoon yesterday, washing ironing and sewing. We had rain showers so...

Morning Its a nice sunny morning here in Sefton as it was yesterday, however rain is forecast later. Back at home it promises to be a wet afternoon. We had a very pleasant evening last night, good wine and lots of very pleasant chatter . I followed it with the best nights sleep for weeks. After brea...

"Its a sunny start to the day but showers and cloud are forecast." Your doing better than us Sue.... we have seen none of the sunny spells promised in the forecast, nothing but 100% forecast and rain, frequently heavy.... We are now at Liverpool and apart from a very short shower it has b...

Morning Its a sunny start to the day but showers and cloud are forecast. Its u3. Art this morning, then lunch out with Wendy and Keith, Barbara and Bill are away this weekend. After lunch we are driving over to Liverpool for one of Jane’s fine wine nights. As usual we will stay at a local Premier In...
