We have a train to Bolton , then Lancaster and a taxi to Heysham in time for the lunch time ferry. Its an organised trip but with lots of free time. The forec...

It's dried up here nicely Sue and we have plenty of sunny spells. I'm glad you will be able to finish Lucy's dress.... I wonder how many of her contemporaries have made anything like that....? Not many, its one of my bought patterns but cut out in her size. Its a very difficult dress that I have st...

Morning Lucy and I worked hard for 3.5 hours to try and finish her dress for when she goes to France in two weeks. We didn’t get it finished but got it to a stage where she can finish it in one more session, which we have managed to fit in between her exams, revision classes and my various activitie...

Lucy is so lucky to have you! What a great skill to pass on...... Back up after a big sleep.... I enjoy doing it and I enjoy her company. I taught her age as well as adult returners so I find it very easy to get on with her and just chat to her. Hopefully I have given her some support educationally...

Morning I had not got all my plants into pots yesterday when we had the rain deluge. Luckily my washing was nearly dry so I even managed to get it ironed leaving me free this morning to plant up the rest. This afternoon Lucy is coming, she only has three things to finish on her dress before a final ...

I was laid in bed thinking how marvellous that it was so light at 22:00 when it dawned on me that this was second sleep and it was ten in the morning! So I thought I'd better get up.... Funny what old age does to your head! [But nice to have such a good sleep.} :laugh5: It was very light at 5.00 a....

Morning Bedding changing today then we are off to the plant man at Bacup who has some strawberry plants for me. Most of mine died this winter. This afternoon I have a little sewing prep to do for Lucy as she is coming tomorrow afternoon. I also want to do some for myself. Its u3a wine meeting on lin...

No Love.... Inside and centrally heated. Newton used to be jealous, his shed was outside in the garage..... I have just had a walk and a Co-op shop for some of the things I will need for the big cook in later this week. It eases the load a little. Bob is in the garage in a room at the back, only on...

Morning We had a lovely if long drive back from Northumberland calling in at one or two places on the way. Thankyou for the book link Wendy, now bought for my kindle. This morning I have a physio appointment and then I have a few odd jobs to do throughout the day such as planting up my rooted gerani...

Morning It was a cold wet day yesterday only reaching about 8 degrees, what a contrast to Friday when it was 24 degrees. We did little in the morning, mainly read then drove out to the Black Bull pub in Lowick where we had a very pleasant lunch till a group of 4 adults and rwo children arrived aged ...

Morning We had a lovely day yesterday visiting Chillingham Castle. What a fabulous place. The present owner has renovated it from dereliction and near demolition restoring it to a wonderful place packed full of museum pieces. He has written a comprehensive tour guide explaining the history and al th...

Morning What a lovely morning, and we woke up at a better time. Today we do not have a long list of things on the calendar which makes a change. I shall go for a swim this morning, as the physio has given me the all clear to do so. I have some neck exercises to do which hopefully over time will reli...

Morning My body is on french time still so I was wide awake well before 6.00 am . Not a bad thing as I have a physio appointment at 9 at the other side of Rochdale so will have to leave by 8.20, i think I have a trapped nerve in my shoulder and despite the Pilates type exercises I have been given an...

Morning We were home by 12.15 pm which gave most of the day to unpack the car, do all the washing and titivate various plants in the garden and greenhouse. Our neighbour had watered the plants in the greenhouse but the heat had been so intense they are not looking too good. Bob managed to get down t...

Morning It was a beautiful day here. I spent the day pottering round the house and garden with Briony and Ed. We wrapped Eves birthday presents in the morning ready for her return from the swimming gala in Birmingham, and in the afternoon B and I sat in the garden doing some watercolour painting. It...
