Good Morning Sunday 26th July 2026

Good morning from a wonderfully rainy, cool Cornwall. My patio plants are almost grinning.

We had quite the craziest birthday celebration for my grandson yesterday on a very windy, overcast, would you believe cold and eventually rainy beach, but we persevered ignoring the inclement weather. My nephews from London, my sons and grandchildren swam for ages. We were a large crowd of family and friends, chatting away and all took our eyes off my nephew's four-year-old son who we knew wasn't near the water. It's a tiny, safe beach and he was happily digging in the sand until, observing a nearby family's fairly large barbecue with obvious flames, decided it needed dousing and poured a bucket of sea water on it!

Obviously we were all mortified. The other family were amazing and really kind about it and quickly relit their barbecue. The little boy has a problem speaking, although he's bright enough, so he couldn't tell us why he did it. Barbecues don't usually have flames rising up so we think he was trying to be a fireman. 🤔

Today I'll hop on a bus to church and then wait to hear what fun the younger generation are concocting. If it involves The Eden Project I'll pass on that. Lovely as it is I prefer it in the quieter months.

Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast wth a high of 31°C (feels like 36°C).

After the boys left yesterday I washed their sheets which dried quickly outside so I remade the bed ready for their next visit. I’m hoping it might become a regular event!

This morning I will do my half hour on the crosstrainer before going to Mass after which the weekly FaceTime chat with my pal in Leicester. She’s had a frustrating week so I shall no doubt need to lend a sympathetic ear.

Wishing you all a good day, thoughts with our poorly friends as always.☀️

Good morning from a clear, dawning Bristol. It would appear that we had a teeny shower in the night as the road and pavement are wet! It will have freshened the air a bit.
I never did the church cleaning as the work is unfinished and the church looked clean enough.
The new heating chandeliers look lovely and as though they had always been there. A lot of people came to coffee; I suspect they felt very alone what with family holidays, etc. this is a very empty/lonely time of year.
Apart from church this morning, there is nothing for me to do/see today.
May the mountaineers have a good day,a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🐦‍🔥🦩🌹🦩
