Good morning, mild and damp this morning not at all like January.

Morning Mick and all us Earlybirds.

Damp and dark in the Thames Valley. I prefer cold and clear but I suspect it is going to be grey all day.

Still coughing but improving. Hope you are feeling ok Kitty.

Going to persuade DH to do a bit of shopping in the Sales hmm

Morning all my fellow GNs

Dark here. Cold day yesterday, but the weekend is forecast a tad warmer. I am beginning to get itchy gardening figures, but went out to clear the old hellebore leaves and nipped back indoors pretty quick. Still bulbs are growing apace and birds will soon be scouting for potential nesting sites.

Morning all.

It feels as though it's a touch warmer in North Leicestershire but I expect it will still be grey all day.

I'm feeling quite a bit better thanks, Kate and am also aiming to do some shopping. Our Local Fenwick is closing soon so I'm going bargain hunting!

Thank you for reminding me about the Hellebores ww!

I hope poorly people are feeling better today especially corner.

Good morning Mick up early today to dark damp Liverpool. Nothing planned for today but might start a to do list before weather warms up and I can get outside.

Good morning all! Dark but not as cold as yesterday. Looking forward to a mild, pleasant day with lots of exercise!
The sales on a Saturday is brave, Nankate!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Dry but cold in South Yorkshire this morning. We haven't a lot planned for today. DH is not really well enough to go out, or we would have gone to see GS's cross country as he is running not far from our house today. I will be food shopping, soup making and ironing. Not necessarily in that order. Have a good day, folks.

Morning All. Murky describes our corner of Somerset, horrid really. Thank you kitty, am convincing myself there is progress! Didn't get to the food shop yesterday so must do that today, otherwise just pottering. Mr C has some technological stuff to sort so may need a hard hat. Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Well Rinouchka I have just mentioned the shopping trip to DH and he as not keen but he said did I fancy lunch out, so I will settle for that. smile

Hope you get some bargains at Fenwick Kitty.

Good morning from a grey, damp but mild Colchester. DH went to work at 4.30am so I went back to sleep and had a lie in.
Into town with DS later as he needs photos to renew his passport.
Our local Fenwick has just spent millions on doubling it's size and total refurbishment. That must be the reason yours is closing kitty.

Good morning from a very damp and foggy Cheshire. The M6 is a mile or so from where we live and as the cars come northbound down the hill to the Cheshire plain where the fog has collected it often causes dreadful pile ups. Here's hoping for a safe day.

Pitt, I shall blame that then. But, in reality, I think it's the fact that our town centre has moved quite a way from where Fenwicks is (which used to be the street with the best shops!) and the new development includes a John Lewis. I love John Lewis but I loved the option of Fenwicks too - I am probably guilty of not bothering to go there if something is available in JL - which has a much better car park too!

Our esteemed (elected) Mayor (!!!) thinks it will make good living accommodation - by that I suspect he meant for Students, as we have 2 universities in that area and (seemingly) millions of students.

Chunter, chunter - sorry!

Good morning from France to you all. Getting colder. -❄️❄️ ❄️❄️ this morning, but with a clear blue sky and sunshine. Outside tap that I left dripping a little to prevent problems has produced baby stalagmites and staligtites. smile My walk today will be this afternoon when it's warmer!
