Why can't I wear this to a wedding?

Evening All. Seriously achey feet here after an unexpected day out. The sun was shining so off we went to Dunster Castle and Watchet. I was perched on the wall you can just see in one of the photos having a cuppa, it was a long way up 
. Super day, pleased we went.
Lots of wonderful photos. Your garden is fabulous grannyq and those little boys always make me smile n&g. I hope grampy has got over his disappointment at coming second. 
.
That’s a very powerful image maw, goodness you’ve got some energy, you’re never still. I’m not so sure Tara would agree with you over who is in charge charley, hope tomorrow goes well.
I’ve been wondering about mr and mrs panache, fingers have been crossed here for them.
Wonderful views from your home soop, hope you both have positive outcomes from your medical ‘stuff’.
Is mrgreyd more comfortable today? Hope so, tooth pain is just horrible.
Well, having used ‘preview’ to make sure the right images appeared I can’t go back and re-read posts so of course I can recall no more. Will try to do better.
TOYA and be good everyone.
That’s really good news about your eyes nannyt, but what a shame it was such hard work to get the right treatment,
You must be so disappointed that final chemo session didn’t happen callgirl, as must your son. Hope those platelets behave very soon. We like Watchet. It’s sort of old fashioned, a bit like us . I’ll lend you Mr C for the ironing if you like, he enjoys it, very slow but it gets done .
Suspect Tara may keep you awake charley. Good luck to you both. Dunster is on the Somerset coast near Minehead. Watchet a little way around the bay, small and easily walkable unlike Dunster castle where everything is up a steep hill, nothing seems to be down it 
. How does that happen?
I should be asleep, doesn’t seem to be happening though. Meeting a GN friend for coffee and lunch tomorrow, can’t sit yawning at her. Why is it sleep seems a remote prospect after a busy day? Another of life’s mysteries.
Oh well, sleep well everyone and I’ll try to join you.
I had a lovely visit to littlest fella yesterday- we went to the William Morris house near them in Walthamstow and walked round and round the gardens, now Lloyd Park. It was hard to believe we were in London.
He is a sweetie, a very placid baby as long as Mama is about but happy for cuddles with Granny as long as she hasn’t gone too faraway.
Nightmare journey home, trains in chaos as there had been another fatality on the line north of MK. Everything delayed or cancelled, but the sadness of someone who feels driven to such action. And what must it do to the train staff who have to deal with it, especially the driver? 
I am glad of a quiet morning at home with Hattie who is enjoying the sunshine.
Maw The littlest fella's smile has raised a smile and a desire for a sneaky cuddle. Adorable!
N&G Snap! We two are perfectly happy with our mostly uneventual routine life-styles. We are more than happy with the sameness of most days.
Gramps deserves a lingering hug from us lot. He was a man with a mission. Mission accomplished.
We'll help you to eat the raspberry freah cream turnovers. I hate waste! 
callgirl1 Not such good news regarding David's hoped-for final therapy session. Please let us know when the next appointment is.
NannyT Common sense seems to be in short supply when the very medication prescribed at the hospital is not available to enable you to commence treatment asap.
Charleyg You and Tara are foremost in my thoughts.
corner Dunster Castle is beautiful. Long ago I painted a watercolour of it using photos that I took during a visit. The village is also picturesque. I remember the butter market where I took more photos.
Panache Us lot are hoping to hear from you when you can spare a moment.
Afraid there are no gf anythings left. I haven't had any lunch and I'm srar ing. Sorry corner and anyone else who was looking for them.
Sone of you might have noticed that its Dementia Awareness Week and I think I got a bit over enthusiastic when signing up to help. I've been out most days a d I'm jiggered. Remind me next year to be more selective.
Topsy I hope your eye is improving. Look on the bright side - if you'd got a prescription for the LRI pharmacy youd probably still be there
callgirl, I'm sorry to hear about your son. I hope it is merely a hiccup. 
Lovely little chap maw. You sound as though you were an intrepid traveller.
I hope you stayed awake for lunch, corner - face down in the soup is not a sophisticated look.
I've added a photo of Wolfie and his prop forward thighs!
TOYA especially the panaches!
Bravo! Feelingmyage55. I agree wholeheartedly. A little kindness can work wonders. A little uneccessary thoughtlessness (? spelling) can be very wounding.
A savoury scone will be athe perfect accompaniment to my cup of tea .
By the by. Please don't get mad and huffy with me. Just telling you lot that I feel very much improved and did my pal's ironing this morning. No ill effects. In fact, it did me good to return to a normal routine.
Panache PLEASE respond.
kitty Wolfie is a very bonnie and handsome chappie. I agree that he has the build of a rugby player.
Oh Soop , glad you felt up to the ironing , but please don't overdo it xxx
Loving all the baby pictures , a very Bonny Crop
And of course the garden of our hostess is a fitting setting for said hostess
