A lovely memory Greyduster. I think we have been to most places in Wales but never there. It a beautiful country, I’m looking forward to it

Say a big hello to St David’s for me, Melanie. It’s one of my favourite places in all the world. Celebrated our fiftieth anniversary there with the family.

Good morning from Sheffield

GM the quilt will be beautiful, I love that it is different style.
We are off today for 10 days. Three days in Hereford and seven in St Davids. We are taking the electric bikes and shall potter about for the rest of the time. We have two lovely Air B and B cottages. One has a hot tub so remember to take my costume.
I hope all went well for Madeleine

Take care everyone flowers

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is still dark but we will have a dry but cloudy day it seems. Yesterday I went early to the gym and then to a nearby retail park to continue my search for a new fridge. All the while my car was throwing up ambiguous error messages on the dash about coolant levels which it said were OK so why block out important bits of my heads up display to tell me that. The user manual is useless. I phoned the dealership to ask them how I get rid of it. They said they would come back to me. They haven’t. So I’ve stuck with it. One more irritation. In the afternoon, I sorted out a huge pile of paper bank statements (DH didn’t believe in throwing things away!) which I shall now have to shred. A job for a wet day! The job of clearing the filing cabinet goes on.

Walking group this morning. For one reason or another I have missed the last four weeks so it will be good to be back. I’ll have lunch with DD and then I have a much needed hairdressing appointment in the afternoon.

Have the best day you can, folks.

A quiet day at home yesterday catching up with laundry, admin and household jobs.A relaxing afternoon reading.

Beautiful quilt grandMattie and lovely dress karma.You are both so talented🧵🪡

I hope we hear from Marydoll today and that madeleine had a good day out.

Wishing you all a good day🦩🌻

Good morning, everyone! Just trying to open my eyes here. I’m still tired from working last night and don’t have much energy to get up yet. Maybe a cup of coffee will give me the little boost I need!

Good morning from s somerset, it feels autumnal here, the sun will be out after lunch

My dress is finished and I am more than pleased, This one is viscose twill, perfect for autumn and I am going to make another in viscose twill. I have ordered the fabric and a longer zip, I was surprised but I can do up my own back zip.

It was an easy day yesterday and I think it will be similar today, no big adventures, just a walk and crafts at home

Good morning from Bristol. It rained in the night, but none is forecast for today, although it’ll remain cloudy.
Yesterday’s FAB cafe went well with over 22 attendees, only a few of whom came for the cancelled live concert. Everyone seemed happy.
While serving,I received a text from DGD1 asking if we could meet for lunch as she was going to the hairdresser in the next village. Yes, yes and yes! I thought she wanted to eat out, but, no, she wanted to have some of Grandma’s homemade tomato soup! (Her favourite is my squash soup).
We had a lovely couple of hours together , looking through my very large collection of earrings and picking the ones she wanted. Then she set off home.
I finished my last patchwork block, then arranged them on the floor for assembly. There are no two the same, but I didn’t want two of the same colour or patten to be adjacent. Now comes the job of sewing them together.
Today is empty, other than t’ai chi. I’m not going to DD’s as the other day when I mentioned seeing them, she made “it not convenient” noises. I shall invent an excuse.
Have a great day all, enjoy the cooler weather. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
