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.

Morning

Another lovely day yesterday, cold and dry. We went for a swim in the morning and a walk through the woods nearby in the afternoon. Today we are off to Keswick for a walk and out for a meal tonight to celebrate my birthday. Have a good day all

The second picture was taken at quite a distance on the camera on my new iPhone. I am ultra impressed with it. I could barely see the bird with my naked eye and took the photo only to try to see what it was I don’t think I will ever use my camera again

Morning We had a dry day yesterday in Grange but it must have rained here in Langdale as there were big puddles on the steps to our lodge. We had a lovely walk around the bird ponds and then along the prom down by the grassy estuary edge . The wild birds were fantastic but it was a bitterly cold win...

Morning We had a drizzly morning yesterday and a dry afternoon. In the morning Barbara Bill Bob and I walked to the waterfalls and back at Skelwith Bridge, they were quite magnificent. In the afternoon Barbara and I had a swim and a soak in the jacuzzi whilst Bob and Bill went for another walk hunti...

I'm back up after second sleep and have four pans on the hob, veggie cooking is go!

Not normally energetic, just constant steady speed. I just couldn’t maintain the constant steady speed.

Sue. Some would say that the beauty of the Lake District is best appreciated through a thin veil of falling water..... :laugh5: Morning If you can see it through the mist and the side of your anorak hood when you turn your head.🤣 It stayed dry long enough for a short walk by the lake at Coniston bu...

Very very wet here in the Lakes Temperatures ok just going to Coniston have a good day

Rain and sleet forecast all week with strong winds making it feel very cold. It’s the wettest it has ever been for this week
It’s usually cold Icy and snowy with crisp sunny days

Morning Its a wet start to the day and to the week sadly. We are off to the Lakes for our annual week there. We are having Sunday lunch on the way up with Barbara, Bill, Wendy and Keith who are joining us till Wednesday. I don’t see much walking being done but it will be nice to have a daily swim in...

We are ´t expecting much above 1 degree here

Morning I have just woken up after eight and a half hours solid sleep . I knew it was late as the bedroom was getting lighter. I see a clear cold sky out there this morning, with a cold sunny day forecast. Nothing much to do today, towels to wash, a bit of cleaning and the packing to do which I neve...

Morning Well no snow here and 3 degrees. We had a bit of sleet as we went to bed last night. I have also had a full nights sleep though no doubt I will start coughing once I start moving. I now have my nasal spray so onwards and upwards as they say.. Today the daughter of one of my pilates friends i...

Morning Well I managed to sleep till 4 before I started coughing last night. Hopefully this is a turning point. The nasal spray prescribed on Monday is still not available at the pharmacy, the official explanation by the suppliers to the pharmacist is snowy conditions stopped deliveries. Come on…..i...

Morning Sue. I'm glad you have lost the headache and sorry the cough hasn't yet succumbed to the medication. I hope you see an improvement over the next few days. I have just come down after second sleep and a hot shower. The only thing I have to report is that after 30 years of having my bedroom w...

You'll have to explain that response to me David. I know the rhyme but can't make the connection.... It's a repetitive, cumulative, type of childrens' song in which each 'treatment' makes things worse. ] In this case no treatment was definitely worse, at least the three week headache has gone

Morning Woke up late after a not very sound nights sleep. As I fall to sleep that the coughing starts, not a tickle but a full on cough till you choke. Hope the penicillin kicks in soon. This morning is clear dry and bright with not an inkling of the 8 cm of snow forecast. Instead we had hours of he...

Morning It was bitterly cold yesterday but luckily not much snow. We will not be so lucky today as quite a bit is forecast. Over in France Laetitia and family are experiencing the worst snow we have ever seen since we bought our house, several centimetres. The roads are hardly gritted except the dua...

Morning Sue. I hope you get your appointment and can find a resolution for your coughing. Snow, we had a genuine fall of about three inches, more than a sprinkle. I hope there is no more! I shall noy walk on it, too risky for a fall risk like me. :biggrin2: Apparently the cough is linked to the med...

Morning

Its -5.5 degrees but only a fine sprinkling of snow . There is no more snow forecast for today. I have decided not to go to French as I think my coughing will drown out the conversation. I hope to get a GP appointment , fingers crossed. Otherwise I have no plans for today. Have a good day all

Morning All back to normal here, all decorations put away and the house cleaned through. Today is our eldest’s 51 st birthday. How can that be so. It is also near enough 53 years since we moved in to our present house. It has changed some what. Today our friend Kath is coming for Sunday lunch, we sh...

I'm waiting for my sister in law and her hubby to arrive on their journey back from Worthing to Orkney. The current ETA is 6.30 to 7pm, but that was when they were still on the M40 down in Oxfordshire. I don't envy them their onward journey tomorrow when they stop over in Perth, especially as the M...
