So…..what are we all up to on this beautiful sunny bank holiday? ☀️

Pottering in and out of other folk's gardens at a Village Walkabout. Coming home with cake, pickles & plants

Hiding indoors, I hate hot weather. Very overdue for a trip with the dogs to a beach but scorching sand and no shade is hell, so it won’t be any time soon.

Kittylester When my husband was alive we had friends in Easingwold.
We used to go to a lovely cafe in the square where they served home cooked lunches. I wonder if you have been in the same café today.

Ladyleftfieldlover thank you so much 🥰

Think we should have been, Aldom.

We went to the George Hotel where we have usually had brilliant food. Total, I had an egg and cress sandwich on gf bread. The bread was so dry it was inedible and the egg and cress was an awful lot of cress and very little egg.

We would have made a fuss but wanted to get to see SiL in her 'awake' period.

Will be working in the garden. No sunshine here in N.Ireland maybe later in the week.

Excellent news TwiceAsNice and nice to be able to recuperate in the warm garden.

Not very warm here nr Edinburgh but dry at least. I have turned off the heating but lit a fire!
I had a tea party with my friend and her son in my greenhouse this afternoon. It's her birthday.

Great holiday pics!

Just got out the fan. It will be going 24/7 for the next week and I shall stay indoors with blinds down, after walking the dog at 7am.
It’s nice to see sunshine and blue skies but I won’t be out in the heat, which I cannot bear.

Lunch outside at a local craft brewery. Drove there in the sports car with the roof down. ( DH had low alcohol beer).
As we set off he said ‘Biarritz here we come!’ Unfortunately it was Leicestershire.😂
Sitting in the garden tomorrow.

I am in Cornwall on holiday -no sun , a sea mist and very chilly today, leaving tomorrow back to London to a heatwave 😂. I will unpack , lots of washing and prepare for the onslaught of family and dogs arriving Tuesday. 4 family birthdays to celebrate next week so one big party for all .

Good news Twice As Nice. I hope that the lovely weather aids your recovery.

I’ve just gone back to bed. Not IN bed, ON bed. Didn’t sleep much so feel rather depressed. I loathe hot weather, so I shall just hide indoors until it’s over.

Camping with 2 of our GC near Keswick

Chilling at home, a bit of gardening/watering/reading/knitting, - and very glad we don’t have to go anywhere and brave the traffic/queues. Someone from dh’s French conversation group messaged him yesterday about horrendous queues last night for Le Shuttle (tunnel train, in case anyone is unfamiliar.)

Dd and Gdcs are off with her cousin + 4 dcs to Brittany tonight - dh and I could have joined but declined with thanks. 🙂

Working …

I’ll be sitting at Orlin’s bedside, as I have since March, in our local hospital where wonderful surgeons and nurses have saved his life after months of struggling.
He is now able to walk a little with aids so we may venture out in to the sunshine as it cools in the evening.
I’m just feeling full of gratitude to still have him.

I am so sorry, I didn’t realise your DH had been so poorly.
I have missed your posts.
Sending you a (((hug))) 😘

One of the advantages, ok the only advantage 😁of living in an old house is that the windows are smaller and it stays cooler.
A family day today from 12- 5 then I’m working the night shift from 8pm. Off on Sunday so DP and I will see friends locally.

A lot of wine and strawberries and ice cream will be involved.

Thank you GrannyGravy. It’s been a tough few months but he’s getting there. Can’t wait to have him at home with me.

My very best wishes, and with luck by the end of summer he will be well in his way.

Early this morning - just before 6. I was out in my pyjamas picking up squillions of snails - I haven’t the heart to kill them so they go into the garden waste bin, where they can enjoy munching the stuff I’ve cut back.

Since then I’ve been planting dahlias, now drinking coffee, before tackling a climbing plant that has gone mad and giving too much shade.

Later it will be my book, shade, snooze and then dinner.

I’ve just come indoors from the garden. Too hot even for me. I’m going to a quiz this afternoon so I need to conserve my energy or I might fall asleep! 😴

Laura, I'm sorry to read that. I hope your DH is out of the woods now, and picking up nicely.

I’m melting!!!! 31 in the shade! Might get my book finished today.
