Good Morning Sunday 3rd May 2026

Good morning from Shropshire.A damp start.

We didn’t get rain until late afternoon yesterday so DGS was able to enjoy playing in the garden.DGD kept busy with various crafts and writing a story.

We have a couple of days at home ahead🤞🏻so depending on the weather it will be gardening or more garage sorting with lots of time spent relaxing and reading as well I hope.

I’m glad your meal went well FGT💪💐

Thinking of all our absent friends and all struggling💐

Wishing everyone the best day possible🌷🦩

Good morning all from a cloudier and cooler Stockport.
Yesterday was very quiet and today looks the same, family involved with other things.
Enjoy your BH weekend.

Good morning all and we’ve had rain here in Essex but not enough. More forecast today but it will be just a drizzle here in our little dry corner.

Yesterday was very successful on our trip to the seaside house.
We found all the necessary paperwork, sat in the sunny garden and had our picnic, walked little pooch along the beach and had a chat to our lovely neighbour. Then back home by tea time. The A12 behaved well for us but the traffic coming back the other way was nose to tail for miles. Dh enjoyed the change of scenery and ds1 was, as usual a 🌟.

Karma thanks for enquiring about my eye test.. I thought it went ok but the optometrist said I’m still missing areas of vision. So I’m not holding out much hope of getting my licence back. I will send off the results and await the DVLA’s decision which will probably take months 😤.

Today Dd and youngest DGD are coming for roast chicken at lunchtime. We like to get the meal over and then relax for the afternoon. Not sure what we’ll be up to but DGD usually comes up with something fun or mind taxing.🤯. She’s getting older now (10 and a half) so activities change.

Sar sorry to hear your gs has broken his wrist and will be out of rugby for a while. How upsetting for him.
Our 14yr old gd has done something serious to her knee and is awaiting scan results. She is a budding dancer/gymnast and that is her passion and has high hopes for her future.

I hope. You all have a good day. 🙏

Good morning from a dull and grey Birmingham.

Peter Kay was excellent last night, he was on stage for well over 2 hours! Rained heavily walking there from Hotel, and again leaving. The venue was packed.

Just deciding where to have breakfast before train home.

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning from a deliciously damp Cornwall, where all my patio plants have raindrops hanging from them. So pretty. The Echium is right up against my door now. Almost overnight it seems the trees on the main road at the other side of my flat have greened and filled my view.

Last night I went to an amateur production of The Sound of Music. The acting and singing blew us away and it rivalled a professional performance. Amazing. Today I'm having lunch with my best pal at a creekside café where we walk across the creek itself because the tide is low. Tonight it's Wetherspoons with my sons and the grandchildren. An unusually full weekend.

You are strong Gingster I saw this in you, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. None of us can be anything but pragmatic if we want to make the best of our lives, day by day. So we bend with whatever happens

I see the same attitude in Rosesandlilac

Good morning from South Lanarkshire, rather cold again here, the brief period of sunshine was so nice.

A big disappointment Gingster, maybe it will still work out, it certainly is an additional challenge you could do without.

Church this morning and then a quiet day, I hope I use it wisely, lots here to be done!

Wishing everyone a good day.

and in Marydoll

Good morning everyone from an overcast Northampton, expecting it to stay like this all day plus the chance of a shower.

A waste of time booking my package return yesterday as they failed to collect it; on further investigation Evri tried to collect it on Friday when I was out, couldn't find it (as I wasn't expecting them) and left. I have contacted Evri and will need to wait till Tuesday to see what will happen. What is the point of booking a date when I know I'll be there, only for them to come a day early?

Meanwhile, while waiting, I stripped the bed plus the mattress topper, and got everything washed and dried. I also decided to do some dust removal, and was merrily spraying away with the furniture polish, and wondering why things weren't looking shiny. Then I realised I was using ant killer spray.....
Will continue with the (late spring) cleaning today, and will tackle the dining room and study, first of all checking I have the right spray can! I normally do just a damp dust with a damp E cloth, and rarely polish, so the furniture is getting a treat.

I binge-watched the first three episodes of the new Bergerac last night and really enjoyed it.

Roast gammon joint for dinner tonight so there will be leftovers for a couple of days.

Wishing all a pleasant Sunday.

A late good morning from mid Essex, it’s dry and quite bright.
I’ve noticed several mentions of gammon for supper - I’m about to attempt my first ever gammon - in the slow cooker! Will add cider and hope for the best. It’s mainly for cold ham as DH complains about supermarket ham.
Sending my best wishes to all our Good Morningers especially those with worries and struggles.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire.

MrB and I have enjoyed our favourite walk around the dock and woodland path. It’s very quiet here, just the blackbirds singing and the occasional toot from the railway museum as they fire up the engines ready for today’s runs.

As always, thinking of those with troubles in their lives.

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing. 🌹

Gammon in the slow cooker is lovely and so easy.
I have cooked it in just water with a splash of vinegar, “full fat “ coke and apple juice, all have been fine but now just use water.

Good morning from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast. My younger sister from London arrived on Thursday and we have had a good time gadding about, going to some new places and I’m glad to have a day at home.

Tomorrow I travel south with her by car to stay with my DD. Sadly I booked my train ticket quite a while ago before my sister decided to come, but I will use the open return.
Thoughts to all🌺
.

blue, we lived in Jersey at the time of the original Bergerac and would laugh our heads off when Jim would drive round a corner only to be on the other side of the island!
We had dinner at Diamond Lill’s more than once.
I don’t want to spoil the magic of the original and the associated memories.

Forgot to respond yesterday - Re White asparagus - it’s now being cultivated in Formby - specifically for the German market - apparently they prefer it to green variety - a recipe in the Telegraph last week for a ‘sauce’ to accompany it - a type of ‘gribiche’ suggests to me it may not be as flavoursome as green asparagus 👍☘️
