Had a great day out tramping through bogs with members of the British Bryological Society who kindly let me tag along and were very informative. One of the best summer days we've had weatherwise too. Now shattered and drinking tea by the pot.

Back from blackberrying. Very heavy thundery clouds and humid.

Not too bad here on Sussex Downs going blackberrying after lunch

Good morning all from a bright, sunny Tees Valley.

Happy anniversary Daffy and Ann.

The moss sounds interesting thatbags, there are so many different forms and colours, although I have no idea of the difference between mosses and lichens.

We had a fabulous but exhausting day yesterday, so I'm hoping for a quiet, relaxing one today.

As annsixty says - a glorious morning. Good for getting the washing out.

annsixty Sun 16-Aug-15 09:55:33

I like to think about 12 Bella grin

Bellanonna Sun 16-Aug-15 09:51:51

Annsixty too !

Bellanonna Sun 16-Aug-15 09:51:05

Yes ditto to Daffydill. You must have married very young ?
Thatbags, would love to join you on your foray. I've been out with moss and lichen experts too - forget what they're called - and it was fascinating looking at them through a lens (the mosses I mean grin.)
Bellasnana, didn't realise you were still in Kent. Weather not bad here. It would be really hot in Malta now. Lovely day to everyone smile

annsixty Sun 16-Aug-15 09:43:50

Good morning all.
Lovely morning here in Stockport ,sunny and a clear blue sky.

Good morning everyone.
Lovely day here in mid Essex for our 57th wedding anniversary. Yesterday was the wedding anniversary pf DS and DDIL, and 20th birthday of DGS. so they and DGD and great grandson came round which was great.
Enjoy your day whatever you are doing.

Indinana Sun 16-Aug-15 09:28:12

Morning everyone. It's a beautiful sunny morning here in the SW. Nothing much planned, though DS and DGSs have said they'll be popping round at some point. Better batten down the hatches - DGS2 is a whirlwind of 2 year old mayhem grin

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Forecast says cloudy but I can't see any out of our front window. So much better now the oppressive humidity has gone!
We are going to be attacking the NOT rare moss in our lawn today.

NfkDumpling Sun 16-Aug-15 08:44:03

A few weeks back we went to look at a rare (for UK) orchid. I did wonder how rare it really is as it's pale green, grows in marshy grass and is very small! Enjoy your day!

PRINTMISS Sun 16-Aug-15 08:41:58

Pity that, that thought perhaps you might come and clean the garage roof for me! Enjoy your moss hunting, sounds great, and interesting, must take a closer look at all the moss we have around us.

thatbags Sun 16-Aug-15 08:30:15

Not collecting any moss, printmiss. I have plenty at home — 56 species and counting in my garden. We are just going to look for a rare moss that was recorded some years ago in the place (a bog) we're going to look.

thatbags Sun 16-Aug-15 08:28:48

anya, alea, chortle.

hildajenniJ Sun 16-Aug-15 08:20:56

Good morning everyone.
Beautiful sunny morning in Tynedale. We had a lovely day yesterday, two in a row, marvellous if it lasts. Washing to do today, and a little vacuuming. Tomorrow is my big day for the housework.

nannotgran Sun 16-Aug-15 08:20:47

Nice start to the day in north essex this morning and i think it is set for the day
man didn't turn up to paint my shed yesterday . It's a nightmare to get a handy man in this area

PRINTMISS Sun 16-Aug-15 08:10:14

Good morning to you all, a rather autumnal start to the day, and I do not like that, too early, however, the sun is shining and perhaps it will be a little warmer later on. thatbags if you want moss, we have plenty on our garage roof, and the blackbirds love sorting it out. Played bowls in one of the club competitions yesterday, and our team won! A small bottle of wine for the other half, as I do not drink. Lovely afternoon with good friends.
Enjoy your days.

Alea Sun 16-Aug-15 08:02:45

sad thatbags Don't approve of blood sports.

Good, if slightly autumnal, morning all!

Bellasnana Sun 16-Aug-15 08:01:33

Good morning everyone. It is cloudy here in Thanet at the moment.

I was rudely awakened, far too early, by the seagulls! Noisy blighters grin

Hope you all have a pleasant Sunday sunshine flowers

kittylester Sun 16-Aug-15 08:00:50

Good morning all from north Leicestershire!

I'm still in bed but DH has kindly raised the blind and I can see lovely blue skies with some high cloud. A shame really as I have two understairs cupboards to sort out!

Enjoy your days everyone! sunshine

NfkDumpling Sun 16-Aug-15 07:57:17

Morning All

The sky here is covered by thin cloud with signs that that the sun may break through. Gardening planned. As to whether it happens is another matter.

DH is still slumbering, I fear he may have had a bad night. Is it awful that I no longer wake or notice if his back/hip/knees keeps him awake and he prowls the house?

Have a good Sunday Everyone.
