Hi Sue, Mine is the one on the left. I take great joy in photographing orange minis! Little things for little minds! Morning I think mine is a little more red but not red. It has a funny name but can’t remember it. I had a busy afternoon yesterday, washing ironing and sewing. We had rain showers so...

Morning Its a nice sunny morning here in Sefton as it was yesterday, however rain is forecast later. Back at home it promises to be a wet afternoon. We had a very pleasant evening last night, good wine and lots of very pleasant chatter . I followed it with the best nights sleep for weeks. After brea...

"Its a sunny start to the day but showers and cloud are forecast." Your doing better than us Sue.... we have seen none of the sunny spells promised in the forecast, nothing but 100% forecast and rain, frequently heavy.... We are now at Liverpool and apart from a very short shower it has b...

Morning Its a sunny start to the day but showers and cloud are forecast. Its u3. Art this morning, then lunch out with Wendy and Keith, Barbara and Bill are away this weekend. After lunch we are driving over to Liverpool for one of Jane’s fine wine nights. As usual we will stay at a local Premier In...

Well, at least you are sorted now Sue! (Unless they find another hurdle for you to jump!) I shall be in the shed first thing working carefully on my eccentric.... After second sleep I shall go the Well for my meds. We are promised sunshine and heavy showers b ut we will see. I shall have to wear my...

You'd think that in the present difficult economic conditions that car makers would be making it easier and quicker to buy a car.... Exactly Stanley. They let the dealer spend ages with us , the buyers , selecting the car, the colour, the extras, the finance then Mini say its not been as popular as...

Is that the colour of yours ….

Morning It was a nice day yesterday and promises to be another today till mid afternoon when it will start raining. Lets hope its not before as we have our weekly walk to the bank this morning to take the money from 6 weeks of the train in the park whilst we were in France or elsewhere We spent the ...

Morning It was a nice sunny day yesterday and certainly felt warm in our back garden though in reality it was only about 14 degrees. The same is forecast for today. I have little planned, just an appointment this morning and pilates and yoga this evening. I will continue with my sewing, but I also h...

Morning I spent most of the day yesterday doing a bit of research and writing a handout for a demo I am doing in my Thursday art class in a few weeks. Claire and Erin came and Claire tried her top on. It fits ok so now I can progress to finishing it. Bob was back from the park early because it was s...

Morning It was a very pleasant day yesterday and Bob and I managed a lot of garden tidying. Its on hold now as the brown bin is full but things certainly look a lot better after dead heading and a bit of sweeping. Today Bob will be at the park, sadly a wet afternoon is forecast. I shall do some sewi...

Hello Sue from a fellow mini owner. Mine is a distinctive yellow/orange colour so I've taken to parking next to similarly coloured minis and taking photographs. Small things amuse me. Steve insisted on being the person in charge of weedkiller yesterday, so we will wait and see. I'm going to attack ...

Morning What a busy day rolling from one thing to another yesterday. Wendy was also at the hairdressers and she told me the sad news that a mutual friends husband had died. He had serious dementia and had been in hospital for a couple of weeks in a declining condition. We continued chatting on a lig...

Morning Sue, I had forgotten about boiling water killing weeds! We have quite a garden here and it will take a few kettles worth. I will pursue the hot water method near plants to prevent overspray and concentrate with week killer on the rest. Yes that is the problem in France, but it helps me get ...

What I can never understand is why people like me with brown fingers can grow weeds so well! Morning Stanley if there is space to grow, the weeds will grow. I fill the space with flowering plants, there may be weeds but I don’t see them🤣 This morning we are both at the hairdressers for a much neede...

Julie boiling water straight from the kettle is a good environmentally friendly weed killer

What a lovely garden Sue. We've inherited one that was literally all weeds and had 3 chickens running on it. I thought I had it under control before I went to Emma's but a month without any input and some amount of rain has given the weeds some legs and I've resorted to heavy weed killing, so long ...

Morning My body is on french time. I was awake 4.30am, read till 5.30am dozed again till 6.15am. It was a fairly easy journey in the two halves. The ferry was nearly an hour late due to the choppy conditions, then we sat for ages waiting to disembark but we were only the second or third car through ...

Just left the port bad weather meant we docked nearly an hour late. You could feel the rollingwhen walking. It's a fine drizzle nothing to what we have been having in France. . On to Coventry

i think there are many tails (see what I did) to tell on that subject. Hunting around for the glasses that sit firmly on top of my head is my most frequent I think. I always take my glasses off when I am sewing, but as I am short sighted i can never find them afterwards. I have to shout Bob to borr...

Very nice

Morning We are just going round the Isle of Wight after a smooth crossing but as forecast its a bit rolling this morning. We land at 7.45 am, and at the moment it is thick mist. We shall drive to Coventry and have lunch with Briony, who is not back at school till tomorrow. Eve will not be there as s...

I live in hope Stanley, its been pretty dire here since last Thursday and two more to come before any improvement , when of course we won’t be here….

Morning Its a very wet morning ,and a drier afternoon with much the same at St Malo. We were expecting this so Bob loaded the card yesterday afternoon between the heavy thundery showers. We only have our overnight bag to put in, a few small bits and my laptop which I was using for zoom yoga whilst B...
