Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals and jolly good company.
Never mind the weather
Never mind the rain?
As long as we're together
Here we go again...
Welcome and please feel free to open the Bubbly and tuck into a virtual Magnum choc ice. 
A big hug to each and every one of you lot. Our new neighbours may call in for a celebration drink. Anyway, we're ready and waiting just in case.
Until tomorrow 
Afternoon All!!
First things first, Happy, Happy Birthday Ann !!!! Sounds like a good day all round. We had a carvery for lunch and you will be pleased to know we raised a glass to you !!
Beautiful pictures Grannie !
Grey where are the pictures of you in your new fetching trainers???? I too am a huge sketchers fan. I wear Nike gel sole flip flops for summer, most comfortable EVER and sketchers for the winter !
Jackson , whilst sad at England's defeat has obviously given it some consideration and created this new shield for us all to display...you can see quite clearly who he blames for the failure to win !!! :-)
We shall be absent from the kitchen for the weekend as we have the pleasure of the little boys company as their other Nanny is off to have a hip replacement or if Cooper is to be believed ---a new leg!!!!
Hope you all have a sunny days, with a gentle breeze and ample supply of magnums whilst we are gone xx
Happy birthday, Ann.
Glad to hear your lunch out went so well.
Hopefully you're taking a lovely nap now.
Nappy birthday?
I've just popped in to wish Ann a belated 'Happy Birthday' and I'm glad your bravery was rewarded and the DH behaved! 
Lots of lovely photos to see. Especially the ones of small people and younger people!
It's really busy at the Lester house currently so I'll leave you all with best wishes for a peaceful night for all.
Back eventually!
Charleyg 
and loud chuckles...
Happy birthday to Ann
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Ann
And lots of love from us lot. 
It also happens to my firstborn's 57th birthday today. A very special occasion. Here is a pic taken a few years ago...when we woz very much younger.
Happy Birthday Ann. ?
`Morning all..........
Bowled over by the handsome photos of all your lads,they certainly look ready for action!!!
Whilst loving your shots of your reservoir walk GQ......mouth warering stuff and I would think these places must be running low?
We have been warned that we have the tail end of hurricane Chris to "look forward to"....coming over from the east coast of the USA........Wales and the West have warnings in place.
Another sort of..... "From the sublime to the ridiculous" I suppose, but quite frankly, seeing more than one of our well mature pine trees actually browning off is quite heartbreaking..........planted by our own fair hands some 14 years ago.
Whilst all grassy areas around are brittle and straw like.
Now your talking Greyduster..........heather,I love it and we have lots planted here simply as a good ground cover........but nothing as beautiful as a mountain or moorland walk where the whole area is my favourite haze of purple.
Whilst talking about these pink sketchers..... again I say I will willingly take them off you!!!
But come on,live a little!!
Remember my DH`s sweet peas that got nibbled at the roots? Well the one surviving plant is a real picture of pale shades of lilac, clusters of blooms similar to a smaller version of a wisteria...............it would have truly been a siught had all plants survived.
Ann a very Happy and a laid back birthday has been ordered just for you!.......I will share a glass of anytime!!
I think it time to make the most of what this day can offer,having had some sleep on two nights you will hopefully note I am reviving...............and here to havebmy penny`s worth!!
Enjoy your day my kitchen friends.
Well it was a shame about the football. DH said he had hoped that as our generation had seen a winning World Cup England team in their lifetime, it would be nice for our children and their children to see it too. I am so disappointed for Teddy, Soop - with an outfit and a smile like that he deserved to see a win! He is delicious!
N&G I see we have found the next 007 in Jackson - he definitely looks the part, and I know he is usually neither shaken nor stirred!
Happy Birthday to you ann ??. I hope you get the chance to have a nice glass of something !
Maw I would gladly swap your trainers for mine, they look great, but I have been told that I have to wear them as a sort of bright colours aversion therapy! I still haven’t taken the labels off!!
Gq aren’t our reservoirs low at the moment? You have to walk quite a distance now to get a line anywhere near the water, so God help you if you’ve left anything in the car - it’s half a day’s hike!! You have reminded me that heather should be out on our moors soon. That’s always something to look forward to.
We have school run this afternoon and then this evening GS and his ma and pa are off down to London. They have number one court tickets tommorrow and then the World Athletics championships on Saturday. As the boy’s SATS results and end of term report were an embarrassment of riches, Grandad was rather over generous with his monetary reward and got into trouble with DD. Is he chastened? Not in the slightest! To GS’s credit, he did try and refuse it, but caved in in the end (like yer do if you are a sensible small boy!).
Well, I will look in later and catch up with anyone I have missed!
Photos of excited boys, beautiful babies and sparkling shoes, it’s all very exciting in this kitchen. Hope you stick with the pink trainers greyduster, they sound great fun! I would love to have some Sketchers but can’t seem to find any that feel quite right for me. I live in Fitflops in the summer and walking sandals for trekking about, not exactly glamorous but comfort is all!
It’s been a busy day with another to come tomorrow, so here I am tired but wide awake....haven’t the stamina just now to catch up on all the news, but wish you all well. I’ll leave you with some photos of Tuesdays refreshing reservoir walk. Blue skies with interesting cloud formations, vibrant Lady’s Mantle along the pathway not to mention some very surprised faces as I turned a corner!
