Good Morning Everyone,
Its a clear blue sky start here in Brackley this morning , my usual day of going to Bicester and Buckingham , for a shop, coffees and in Buckingham the Saturday flea market , where bargains of interest such as old maps of the local area, I usually buy.

Morning Mick, from a very bright North Leicestershire.

I'm running a stall for the Alzheimer's Society at an Aging Well event today. The down side is that I have to be at the other side of the County by 9.30. The upside is that DD3 lives in the next village so I'll get to see Wolfie again today!!

Enjoy your days everyone.

Good morning Micheal! It’s another beautiful day here in Birmingham, although I think we have had some overnight frost. I’m going to Oxfordshire for an extended family lunch, we will have four generations, from my ninety year old mother to my one year old great- niece.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A lovely day in South Yorkshire again. DH is off to football this afternoon and I am off to the library. God, we lead such exciting lives! ? Have a good day folks.

Morning all lovely bright morning in Torbay. Off to Truro today to visit my Daughter and lovely family grandchildren 7 and 4. Taking my older grandchildren with me to see their Aunty, should be a lovely day.
Wishing all a good weekend,

Morning Mick, morning All from a very misty corner of Somerset. Once we can see where we’re going need a food shop, bit Mother Hubbard here. Then there’s a mountain of books to move and we’re ready for Mr C to begin the decorating trauma on Monday. Exciting here too greyd grin. Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Morning All

A second day of warmth and sunshine here in Norfolk! DH is home from hospital, diabetes back under control. ? No idea what we’re doing today but it won’t be a lot!

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. A bit grey today so far. I'm baking this morning and later listening to DGS performing his music.
Enjoy the 4 generations Dora we did the same for a big birthday 2 weeks ago. Lovely.

Good morning to you all, and we have another sparkling morning, think perhaps it might be cold, but looks good from indoors. A friends funeral yesterday makes for a sad day today, he and his wife took us under their wings when we moved here, we became firm friends, could spend hours together comfortably talking about nothing. Oh dear! I have a little fund raising event to go to later perhaps make me feel better. Enjoy your days.

I am off out for the day with my sister.Weare going to Hampton Court so really hope the weather remains kind as i can't wait to see the gardens, plus of course the palace. From pictures i have seen the gardens look amazing in the design of the layout.
Have a great day what ever you are doing and wishing speedy recovery to those in pain or despair.

Good morning from Shropshire.A misty start today.We are off to Cheshire today to take mum out for lunch.DD1 and DGD are joining us so we too will be four generations.
Glad your husbands diabetes is back under control Nfk and that he is back home with you.
Good luck with the decorating corner.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning. We've got grey skies atm in Cheshire. I'm watching a pair of blue tits in and out of an air vent in my neighbour's wall. They nest there every year. I saw them eying up the next vent and tapping on the plastic cover, I think they're planning an extension.

Have a good day everyone whatever you may be doing.

Good morning from windy Perthshire. It grey at the moment but sun is forecast later?

Going over to St Andrews for lunch. Hopefully a wander along the beach but definitely a visit to a favourite shoe shop, Moshulu and the ironmongers which is an Aladin’s cave of a place.

Have a pleasant Saturday all

Good morning from a bright but cool NE.
Yesterday we did a walk around a wildlife park, it was 18 degrees and so peaceful. No chance of a quiet day on a Saturday.

Urmstongran Sat 30-Mar-19 07:55:20

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s calm and dry. No sun yet but the sky is a pale blue wash. No sight of the Pennines yet though.

I’m off to the salon at 9am for a French manicure then this afternoon we are meeting my cousins and their partners in the pub over the road. Must remember to pace myself I don’t want a bad head tomorrow!

Have a good Saturday all whatever your plans or none. x

Good morning all. Another beautiful day in E. Northants - I could get used to this! It's so nice to hear the birds and watch them building their nests. Some washing and a bit more wardrobe sorting today (it's the Marie Kondo effect). Hope the day is a pleasant one for all.

Marydoll Sat 30-Mar-19 08:00:43

Good morning all from a dull Glasgow, but I'm hopeful for a bit of sunshine later.
I too am having an easy day today. It's been a pretty exhausting week, especially after my long day out with DIL and DGD yesterday. Three year old DGD decided she was an old lady and would use my walking stick, it was a lethal weapon in her hands!

I will see DS1, DIL and DGD later today and I have a feeling DS2 will also appear. DD has been touring Scotland all week and I didn't realise how much I would miss her.sad When she is here she drives me mad! grin

Kalu, I abolutely love St Andrew's and especially that shop on the corner of Market Street which is an Aladdin's cave of scarves, jewellery, clothes etc. You have my permission to treat yourself to some shoes! grin

Have a good Saturday, everyone.

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. A dull start here in Fife and I think it will remain like that, much cooler too today. Planning on gong to a garden centre in NE Fife today and somewhere for lunch whilst we are out roaming the countryside smile Hope Saturday is good to everyone. Kalu - love St. Andrews enjoy your day.

NanKate Sat 30-Mar-19 08:11:29

Morning Mick and All.

Will take this weekend slowly as we are recovering from looking after the DGSs for 6 days and then last night went to the packed Elvis Concert - phew.

That shop in St Andrew’s sounds like my kind of shop Mary don’t ask how many pendants, necklaces, bracelets I own, all I will say is that I could fill a whole stall in an African bazaar ?

Mythbirtthedragon Sat 30-Mar-19 08:14:21

Good morning from east London- looking bright outside. Yesterday playing tennis, I felt it could be sun cream time - we were trying to guess the temperature - warm was the conclusion. Grocery shop today and must set off my tomato seeds. Anything that stops me from dusting. Have a good day.

Pittcity Sat 30-Mar-19 08:14:43

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Another warm day in the offing. I will need to water the garden pots this evening.
DH is out all day so I am going into town to potter around the shops unhindered.

gillybob Sat 30-Mar-19 08:15:43

It’s another bright start here on the NE coast but much cooler than yesterday (typical it’s Saturday). I was hoping to get in the garden yesterday afternoon after work but by the time I’d taken my dad shopping and took him home etc. It wasn’t worth it.

My DS and DGS are off to Wembley totady to see their beloved Sunderland play in the Checkatrade trophy tomorrow . They have had their train seats booked for weeks but LNER (the swines) have cancelled all seat reservations and turned it into a free for all. I’m really worried for their safety and imagine a lot of pushing and shoving to get on the trains. They are also saying they can’t guarantee that you will even get in the train you booked ! Where else could you get away with that? I will be worried until I know they are safe.

Nothing much planned for today, might see DD and the baby later as she has a very rare weekend off work.

Enjoy your lunch in St Andrews Kalu it’s a place I have never visited. I do like the sound of the “Aladdin’s Cave” Ironmongers and the other one on the corner of Market Street Marydoll smile

Have a good Saturday everyone x

Kalu Sat 30-Mar-19 08:32:43

Oh, if you insist Mary?. Shoes✔️ I didn’t mention the shop on Market Street, which I know only too well, only because I can never remember the name but yes, it’s on the list.

Thank you Brunette. I have been visiting St Andrews for many years and always enjoy any time spent there. Don’t spend too much at the garden centre, another favourite haunt of mine.

Harris27 Sat 30-Mar-19 08:43:58

Hi from cool ne.nyes gillybob I'm in same thoughts as you as my boys go to Wembley they are travelling tomorrow on the supporters bus and up and ou by 3.30 dh will be shattered but as he says this doesn't happen very often. A dive mentioned before my mam died wednesday and Mother's Day will be hard as my boys are away but my sis and I are going to go for afternoon tea at a quiet little farm place we know. Hope Sunderland win!!!

gillybob Sat 30-Mar-19 08:48:49

I wish my boys were going on the supporters bus too Harris27 at least they would be guaranteed a seat. I’m really worried about them getting on the train safely . Apparently there are approximately 30,000 fans travelling by train today. ?

I hope they win too. Need to find somewhere to watch it tomorrow as we don’t have SKY TV.
