Morning Another morning of waking up late, I suppose we must need it. Today I shall wash and change the bedding and do the iron8ng. There isn’t much, one advantage of winter clothes, jumpers don’t need ironing. Claire and Erin are coming for lunch as they are coming over for the rugby at Spotland. T...

I forgot to mention Bob finished making his Christmas present last night. It is third kit he has made . Do you remember the Marble Run and the Orrery

Yesterday would have been Col's birthday and Craig and I celebrated by doing something that Col would have really enjoyed, in fact it was his favourite treat. We went to Burger King in Skipton and sat in the car eating a whopper meal! Afterwards we had a little ceremony burying some of Col's ashes ...

Morning We have both just woken up and it was light, in fact it was nearly 8.00 am. What a shock. It was a busy day yesterday for both of us but we didn’t feel more tired than usual when we came to bed at 11. It might be light but its grey and windy out there. This morning is u3a art at Todmorden, t...

Morning I had a good art session yesterday and am really pleased with the result. Bob finished washing and painting the lounge ceiling so I think his next step is the dining room, then we can move on to the other gloss ( which I normally do) . We have decided to get rid of the chimney which we think...

Morning Its a much lighter and clearer sky this morning , calmer wind but still very cold. We have a conflicting forecast, the hour by hour graph shows a dry and sometimes sunny day with no precipitation, the overall forecast says heavy snow. It won’t bother me, I shall be warm inside. I have a zoom...

Morning Sue! I think you'll sort yjr machine out, you have the right sort of brain! I remember what my dad once told me.... "When all else fails, read the instructions!" Good luck with it.... All sorted, he was using the wrong sort of backing fabric ( stabiliser) and putting it into the e...

Morning Well we have none of the snow forecast over Rochdale, instead it is heavy squally rain , yuk. This moning someone is coming with their embroidery machine for me to have a look at. They bought it second hand but can’t get it to stitch out properly. There could be all sorts of reasons ie wrong...

Morning

Its due to be very cold today which does not bode well for my French class in Haslingden, where it is always cold anyway. I think it will be extra layers of clothes today. I have no plans for the afternoon but it is is yoga this evening at the studio. Have a good day all

Morning We had a good day out but did not finish the route. We started at Pendle Heritage centre, had coffee in the cafe and found clues in the park. We drove to Downham, found clues in the village and the church yard as well as having a very nice lunch in the pub. By this time it was after 2 pm, th...

Like the other series of books they have a fictional story running through them and a crime to solve using notable landmarks as clues to help you solve the mystery.,

I'm not allowed to wear anything white, or with white in it, especially if I'm drinking red wine.

I fully appreciate the reasoning. Bolognese sayce and BBQ are also risky food sources

Morning Another late sleep however not a good one as I was awake till nearly 4. Today we are having a day out , doing another Mystery Tour. Its a different series of books but still good. We were going to Leeds but did not decide earlier enough to prebook train tickets thus the price we would pay is...

We went to Grane Mill at Haslingden on Wednesday, we got a tour by our nephew who is a volunteer. It’s in dire need of someone with the knowledge to raise funds. It could possibly be linked with the East Lancashire Railway, but that would also need someone with knowledge. It would be really sad to ...

Oswaldtwistle Mill, found some new bedding and some James Pringle tee shirts in the sale. Was going to have a coffee but the cafes were shut. I go to the Sewing Centre at Oswaldtwistle Mill. All my sewing machines come from there and are serviced there. Yes they do hqve some lovely bedding. Bob get...

Morning Woke very late for us, now need to get moving as our new cleaner ( pilates friend’s daughter) is coming at 9.00am. . This lunchtime is theu3a wine groups’Christmas’ meal, i suppose we will be back late afternoon. It looks dry at the moment, not sure about the weather forecast. Have a good da...

Morning A busy day yesterday, hair cut followed by a history meeting in the afternoon. The latter proved interesting with a few ideas for visits thrown into the mix. I have two to sort out, a trip to Ordsall Hall in April and a trip to the Peoples Museum in Manchester in November. I have been battli...

Morning Its a little bit lighter this morning, as it was yesterday evening, with January nearly finished the worst is over. Even my geranium cuttings are beginning to look very healthy in the conservatory and on the bedroom window sills. This morning we are both at the hairdressers, this afternoon I...

All good thanks Stanley

Morning Up early and out today. I have an appointment with the Gp at 5 but he asked me to come for 8.30 which means running the gauntlet of rush hour and roadworks. We left early in the car but there were no roadworks or hold ups. We now have half an hour to kill in the car. It was too early to walk...

Morning It was a very wet drive home but we took our time driving the scenic route, not that we saw much scenery . We stopped a couple of times, a bit of shopping, a bit of browsing antiques and stopped for a drink. We expected to have breakfast at the cafe across the road from our lodge but it no l...

Morning We had a good swim yesterday morning, at one pont I was the only one in the pool. In tha afternoon we drove to Rydal and walked to Grasmere by the lakeside. It was nearly dark when we got back to the car and it was barely 4 o clock. There were snowdrops out in the church yard. Thats our week...

I do envy you you're walks Sue but bone on bone right knee is a bit of a handicap! Morning I have been lucky so far Stanley, my worst problem is back ache from standing up a long time and looking down where I am walking. Bob has a bad knee that flares up every now and again, as does Barbara. Poor W...

Thank you all. We have spent a lovely day in Keswick, my favourite place here and are just about to go out to eat. The rain held off and we had a very pleasant walk round the Lske edge. Photos tomorrow.
