Good Morning Sunday

The sun came out just as we arrived at Dunham Massey. After we'd had the customary substantial NT lunch, we strolled round the garden which in my opinion is as good as or even better than any other NT garden I have ever seen. There are still drifts of white narcissus; a profusion of hellebores; early rhododendrons and azaleas; and all the trees in the fresh green leaves of May. Not to mention the luxuriant magnolias. A perfect way to spend an afternoon.

We have had a really lovely day here in Northumberland - yes, we even sat out in the garden this afternoon! DD, SIL and DGS all came for lunch and then we went outside and sat in the sun (it was actually quite cold in the shade) - DD actually put suncream on DGS, much to his disgust.

Tomorrow it is back to work on the patio: raking out the soil and weeds and then re-sanding the gaps. I did so much yesterday that my calfs (DH and I have just had a discussion about how to spell that, should it be "calves"?) and feet are hurting today - but at least I feel useful.

Sunny and 19 degrees in Boston.

Blue skies in Kinross-shire so washing out.

Sunny and 16 here - but for how long

Still dull and slightly chilly here near the airport, looks like it'll be the ironing then!
It's my fault it's dull as I changed all my clothes over, winter away summer out
Now they all need a very quick iron

Washing out, but not the sun. Hopefully later

Weather lovely here. I should be preparing for my holiday as I am leaving on Tuesday but DS, DIL and GC are coming because they want to go to the beach. I knew I should have started a day or two earlier

Good morning, a bit 'iffy' at the moment weather-wise. Hope it improves, we have our men versus ladies bowls this p.m. last year all our club competitions were played in cold wet conditions, so fingers crossed. Off to see our son now, just to make sure he knows he is taking us all out to lunch tomorrow for his sister's birthday.

Still rather dull in Cheshire but fingers crossed because I'm going with friends to Dunham Massey where we hope to have a good National Trust lunch. Today there's a photo on Facebook of GD (10) with the leader of the dance group Diversity (won BGT ahead of SueBo). They ran into them at Disneyland Paris and I confess to feeling a little envious.

Good morning to each & all , lovely and sunny here .

Going to set some new plants I have .

Well done Galen .

Grey in Cheshire. Accuweather suggests the mist should burn off by about 2pm. Heres hoping!

That's good Galen, am sending off my begging letter as soon as I can

Oh, my laundry will be done. Must get up and put it out!
Well, perhaps another 10mins in bed, I'm comfy here!

Hope it's sunny Galen!

Good morning all.

Lovely friends of long ago have just left, there is and just off to peg out the laundry.

Wow don't spend it all at once Galen they do say luck comes in threes though so who knows what the rest of the day has install for you? Good things I hope.

Morning. Might find out what it's like when I get up!
Just had an email :- have won £10 on the lottery!

Dry so far this morning in Cardiff - sun shone for most of yesterday so hoping it might be the same today. DH and Sil are off to a car boot in a minute - that will give us some peace!!

I did a lot of yanking out yesterday Bags there are times when you really shouldn't yank and doesn't my back know it this morning.

Good morning all. We have sunshine in the South West. Let's hope it lasts.

Clouds, white and grey scudding over from the west-north-west. MrBags has set off early to Ayr for an archery tournament. Minibags will presumably emerge by noon or thereabouts. I shall go out shortly and see how many baby ash trees have sprouted in the garden, and decide whether to yank them out.

Good morning all from a very sunny and warm North East coast. It's back to my daughters garden today unfortunately. I was in bed at 9.30 last night aching in places I didn't know could ache. Well at least it's a nice day for it.

Good Morning Mick. It's exactly the same here in my part of Cheshire. Though it won't stop me from bargain hunting at the local carboot this morning,
