Looking forward

Nobody has to read a thread, and I think most of us have some or some subjects we avoid.

I think in most people's lives there is something to look forward to. I am often humbled to find how optimistic some people in the most difficult situations can be.

We're off to meet family at Blenheim at the weekend, then overnight with them. It'll be grand to see them. Another family get together in October, this time at Weston Super Mare for the weekend.

I'll be visiting RHS Wisley with a friend, also in October. That's a day trip with Shearings. In November, another friend and I will visit Ely for Christmas Craft Fairs and the cathedral, followed later that month by a visit to the King Tut exhibition in London including a couple of nights away.

Grand Canaria with friends for Cxxxxxxx It will be the first time we've actually been anywhere other than family at that time.

So plenty to look forward to. I know, we are so lucky. I only wish it were so for everyone...

kircubbin After operations, treatment (ongoing) and possibky face another operation when we return we are having a lovely break.
DH will plunge straight back into his charity work (and I will help him) so, in the meantime, we hope to enjoy ourselves away from Boris and Brexit.

Sorry if that offends.

Lovely to read about all the excitement lined up for some of you.

As for the lady going to the Giraffe Hotel... well how brilliant! I'd love to go there. Giraffes are so fabulous!

Have a wonderful time!

I'm not up to much but am looking forward to Christmas

kirkubbin2000 how could you say that to Alima after her post?! Incredible.

I'm going to nice hotel tomorrow for two nights. I am actually quite glad there will be no giraffes. But, whatever lights your candle. Or floats your boat. ?

Callistemon have a great time. Good for you.

Weren’t you away last week or the week before gone girl?
Be careful you will be getting yourself talked about.??

Yes, I was. This is a last minute thing. DH wants to revisit the place we used to take the kids when they were tiny. I've told him it will be all changed now but, oh well, looks like the hotel does good brekkers . ?

I am reading this on the bus into Edinburgh so ofcourse i wanted to read the post mentioning our wonderful city and then i kept on reading the thread.
I am looking forward to a fairly quiet Autumn but i make for craft fairs and i have plenty of them.
I would love to go to the William Blake exhibition at the Tate Britain.
I am looking forward to our GN meet up next week!

Have a lovely giraffe-free time, Gonegirl!

Thank you minty!

Most of the time I look forward to reading Gransnet! Have a wonderful trip Callistemon. Do hope you enjoy Legoland Gonegirl, must be liberating staying there with no kids in tow. Keep the faith annsixty, if we look forward for long enough DCFC will win again!

Alima I am so embarrassed to admit I don’t know how they are doing ?
Since one of their oldest and most loyal fans died I have not kept up.
I know they lost their manager to the Premier league but no more. I shall check the next thing I do.

Isn’t it a good thing we can rise above it all and concentrate on the really important things in life?

Oh dear, hurry up Wayne Rooney.

Legoland?!!!

I'm going to the seaside.

Next week we are going to the theatre to see a new local comedian. It's been booked for ages. Then last week I saw him briefly on tv...... Not impressed. Let's hope his live show is an improvement.

I'm October we are heading to Malta for a week. We were there three years ago and loved it. As we haven't had a proper holiday since then it's a real treat. We've had a few weekends away but nothing beats still week with ensured sunshine.

We don't all have the health, means or husbands to do things with
No we don’t Kircubbin so we take a deep breath and do what we can by ourselves

Noooo Pantglas
I knew a guy named Robert (Robin) Williams from Mill Street, Llanwrst.
Do you know the Silver Fountain (pub)?

Gonegirl
Woodburner, fairy lights, book, hot chocolate...all get my vote especially after a walk in the crisp autumn/winter air.

I echo that crystaltipps.
I hope some comments don't dampen your enthusiasm for posting your ' looking forward to...' plans.

Alima
to read of your present family circumstances.
Thoughts won't take away your pain but rest assured, we are with you in spirit and hope you can carry the load with our support.

Don’t know him GabriellaG54 but my husband might - how old is he?

Silver Fountain was still open last time we passed - haven’t been there for a drink in donkeys!

Celebrating my sister in law’s 60th very shortly; have organised a reunion for some ladies who all worked in the same workplace over the last ten years, some now working elsewhere, some have retired but all have stayed in touch via email and fB so thought it might be fun to do a physical meet. I put the word out and 10 people signees up and we are all looking forward to it.
Playing in a show shortly not too far from Guildford!

@Gabrielle, I played in South Pacific in the Yvonne arnaud years ago one very hot summer. The aircon broke down the the pipes above us condensed so we had to play with constant drips of water on our heads. It was rather distracting....

No ideas for Christmas yet, might be a quiet one this year....
