I am going out tomorrow for breakfast and a walk in the Peak District with DD and SiL, but at the moment, DD is full of cold, so it may not come off, though not much keeps her down.

I also fancy a trip to the Botanical Gardens, which I can go to on the bus. Depends how hot it’s going to be. And in between all that, gardening and a lot of nothing much!

Usual white skies here in Scotland. No sunshine until tomorrow when I will be enjoying the rays while doing some light gardening. Happy Bank Holiday everyone.

Eating a sandwich in a nice place in Easingwold.

Seeing my sister in law and nephew this afternoon and visiting DH's brother's grave.

Rest of the weekend - sitting in the garden, eating ice cream and probably having a visit from various dc.

Ooh, DH and DS1 are off to their last football this season.

At the moment eating lunch under the shade.

Then I might do a bit more gardening, but done quite a lot this morning. Might just sit and read.

Later I’m barbecuing a whole chicken with crispy potatoes and summer veggies.

Relaxing in the Algarve the weather is beautiful here. DD2 and the little ones are arriving this evening. We will take the days as they come no real plans

Gardening today.
U3a quiz Saturday afternoon.
Sunday I’ll get the ferry across to Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth to meet up with friends for lunch at Brasserie Blanc.
Nothing planned for Monday so probably gardening again.

Much the same - running around after DD2 and DGS2 like a blue-ar*ed fly! They may come here, I might go there - we just play it by ear.

Domestic duties today, our pub garden early evening, garden the next couple of days, bbq Monday with son.
We’ll probably bbq for two a few times, we live near the south coast and will keep away, it will be rammed, so staying local.

Same as Bohemian, also, my heart doesn't do hot any more. Enjoy the lovely weather, in whatever way you can. hugs

No sun here in Scottish Highlands. Brooding clouds threatening rain.

Batch cooking planned for today.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 22-May-26 12:07:14

Garden for me today, Italian restaurant with DS4 and family this evening.

Gymnastics with DGD and then taking her birthday shopping tomorrow. BBQ in the evening at home.

The rest of the sunny days will be spent in the garden and BBQ’s for meals, absolutely blissful.

I’ve just bought some ice cream and plan to eat some of it, potter in my garden and read my book.

I'll be hiding indoors with curtains drawn and doors shut - due to Hay fever and very fair skin but it lifts the spirits to finally see blue skiessmile,

I’ll be visiting family on the south coast so a little paddle in the sea and plenty of ice cream 🍨 😀
