Evening all,
Had a great weekend. Went to Jersey for the day yesterday, the sun was shining, the sea was still, and walked for miles. It was a very long day, got up at 5.30 to walk the dog while it was still fairly cool and got picked up for the ferry at 7.30. Ferry back was running late and we didn't get home till 12.30 a.m. Boy was I shattered. Had a lazy day today and a snooze this afternoon before going to our eldest daughters for a meal.
Hope all my lovely friends are well and enjoyed their weekend.
<3 <3 <3 to all and sleep tight,

Hi George
Glad you had a good weekend with the family. I go to Regents Park four or five times a year. I go and stay with my sister who lives in Hampstead Heath. we catch the bus and walk around the lake. I have some photos taken in Rengets park some e of the Herons nesting in the trees on the island. I have a photo of one of the heron standing at the side of me keeping an eye on the birds on the lake.
Many tourist go there and take photo;s we have seen many with their camera' s snapping photos of the ducks and Mallards and Swans. we were down there once sitting on a seat when a helicopter appeared over head we had seen three ambalance going by and police cars passed where we were sitting we didnt take much notice till this helicopter came over head we had dust blowing in our eyes and it was like a dust storm . it landed right behind where we were sitting. a Doctor and a paramdic. some man had collapsed and was having a heartattack . it was the one time I didnt have my camera with me.

Hi Stephen, just noticed you went to Stirling for lunch, think I remember seeing on old Foggs family tree quite a few of his rellies come from Stirling.


George

Evening everyone,

Hope you all have had a blinder of a day.

Glad you had a lovely day with your family Stephen, same here, I spent yesterday and most of today with my son and family....brilliant.

Went to Regents Park, boating yesterday, great fun.

George :-)

I'm back from counting the money.
Yes Stephen I googled the hotels and they look amazing. I'm going to Loch Achray. I didn't know where that was and I'd never heard of it.
I'm going to wash my hair now!

Evening All !

A lovely day with my family........my son managed to get a message to his sister.......she cried at him not being with us.....they are really close and she misses him. We all do.
God willing he will be home safely in November.

Pat.....Loch and Glens have a good reputation, I'd be surprised if you don't enjoy your trip. The hotels I have seen them at tend to be fine and in good locations. Let me know where you are going when you find out and I may be able to give you some information on what to watch out for. AND......you never know 'Fluffy Paws' might pay you a visit ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Gonna have some Beans on Toast.......nice and light after a good lunch. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Evening all .. :-\

Stevey ...I hope you had a great lunch with your daughter & family. :-D

Its raining now :-S I have just had a soak in the bath , now I normally have one in the morning , but they all wanted breakfast !

Hope you all had a great day ....and said your Sunday prayers ;-)

I'm helping my friend , just perched on her tree branch and having a look around before I do my bit ..LOL

afternoon it is still very warm the sun is coming through windows I have to go and water my plants soon as the sun goes down.
My friend brought me a Family History Magazine over to read. and in it there is a bit about a Romany Museum its in Clay Lake Spalding Lincolnshire. the article makes nice reading the museum is called " Gorden Boswell Romany museum"

I have put all my photos from both my holiday in Norfolk and the one in the Isle Of Wight onto my computer. I was worried as it was a new camera I was using but the photos all came out really well..I said I ? my daughter talked me through it. I am not much good on doing new things. I have the instructions all written down now so hope next time I will be able to do it with out someone telling me. still you have to start somewhere.
Agatha where did you go over the weekend then ? where is your caravanj parked ?
I am pleased we have this weather it is nice for people on holiday better still if they have young children to amuse.

Rita

Glad you had a nice weekend in the caravan Agatha :-)
Enjoy the rest Marilyn and the chicken curry <3.
I'm counting the church's collection later on this afternoon.

Hello Friendly Threaders, I hope everyones having a sunny sunday.
Stephen I hope you have a lovely time in Sterling today, a 12th wedding anniversary is silk.
Rita, I hope you have a lovely visit from your daughter, will it be her 40th wedding anniversay, thats Ruby, my mum and dad celebrated their Ruby not so long ago and I bought them a ruby red glass goblet.
enjoy the noisy air show pauline, I do not live far from Duxford air museum, so we get alot of fly pasts, the old lady ho lives next to me says it makes her feel like we are at war when the WW2 planes go past
I had a very hot and sunny weekend at the caravan, Oscar has had lots of walks, so he is happy, we saw another Bichon on the beach with his owner and the woman said, "oh a puppy" and I said no he's nearly five and she looked shocked, Oscar is half the size he should be as he was ill as a puppy, I think she thought she was over feeding hers
Put your feet up while you can marilyn.
Have a great day everyone

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Stephen's daughter and son-in-law, hope you all have a lovely day. Stephen if you could go back to the time your daughter was married........ you wouldn't have your lovely little girls.

LOL at Pat going out without a coat.................. it must have been hot.

Hi Stephen and Rita,
Rita hope you have a nice morning with your daughter and son in law.

Stephen happy anniversary to your daugher and son in law.
Enjoy the family lunch.

I've just booked a mini break to Scotland.It's with Lochs and Glens. I can't remember where I'm staying but there's a trip to Edinburgh. I tried doing it over the net but i messed up my card number so I had to phone up the company and I spoke to this Scots lass.I could just about understand her. Mind you she most probably thought I spoke funny as well. :-)

Now back to baiscs happy day everyone weather not too bad at the moment hope you all have good weather whereever you are today.

My daughter and my son in law are coming over this morning for a couple of hours. I have not seen them since we went to Norfolk three maybe four weeks ago ? they have been away in Dorset for 8 days.
I have brought her a bunch of Gladioli she loves them. they did so much for me while we were on holiday in Norfolk so I thought I would show her how much I appreciated what they did.

My son in law still looks very frail it is now 14 months since his big operation and he has done so well. they got married in 1971 on 4th september so they will be celebrating their wedding anniversary in a few weeks time.

I am going to have some toast now for my breakfast. have a good day everyone.

Love Rita

First off Happy Annversary to your daughter and her husband hope they have a really lovely day.

secondly I thought that was laugh of the day was so funny. because if you really listerned to what some of these sales people tell you, you could turn it to your advantage.

AN EARLY MORNING LAUGH !!!!!!!!!!


REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.

He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

Helloooo,............just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.

So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

Helllooooo? It's been a year I told him.

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.

He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Morning All !

Dull and overcast today :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

It's daughters 12th Wedding Anniversary today.......so all out for a family lunch in Stirling. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
How quickly the years have flown, seems like only days since I walked my wee lass down the Isle of the lovely Highland Church in Blair Atholl.
When we left the Church the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band led the guests up the driveway to magnificent Blair Castle for the reception meal.
Then we had a Ceilidh until the wee small hours in the Castle Ballroom.
On the Sunday we had a Barbeque for the whole village.
What I'd give to have those days again. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Have a good day ya all !

Keep well, keep safe , keep smiling
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
