Good Morning Sunday

[JanB]

Morning everyone

Blowy this morning, so making it feel cool. Hotting up later

Had a lie-in until 7 this morning and the watering took an hour

Treating ourselves to a proper cooked breakfast this morning

Pool and not a lot for the day. I've got some washing in the machine, so will need to make sure that doesn't go flying later

Have a good day everyone, whatever you're doing xx

Morning all

Enjoy your relaxing day, Jan xx

We're out having a coffee, going to grab the papers on our way home Lamb chops and roasted Mediterranean veg for dinner later, and some very fancy locally made chocolate ice cream that Becky ordered for our pud Washing on the line before we came out, as it's a sunny, breezy day

Have a good day everyone xx

Lamb chops! I could do a few lamb chops Kaz. Enjoy your restful day Jan.
Just back from the shops, son and his gf are coming for dinner.
They drove back from Cornwall yesterday, took them nearly seven hours.
nice morning so far, breezy but warm.
Have a lovely day everyone.

It's a long old schlep from Cornwall, Crommers! A good three or four hours from here I reckon! Enjoy your family dinner

Morning all sunny here but grey clouds keep flying past
Crommers did you see all the crowds in Cornwall yesterday in the DM but government said stay at home
Heard on local gossip page our town and beaches are packed so I'm home reading
Have a good day all

I did Saundra, it looked like a football match crowd had just turned out! Daughter went to Northumberland last month and it was very quiet.

Morning all

Bright and sunny here

Blimey 7 hours Crommers

Some of our beaches have been swamped, especially feel very sorry for people living over by Botany Bay. There's very little official parking over there which means people are blocking the streets and leaving cars across driveways. The mess they leave behind is disgraceful.

Raspberry blancmange and jelly nicely setting in the fridge. I'll be cooking a chicken to go with salad later. Otherwise it's a quiet lazy day in the garden with my kindle.

Hope you all have a good day, stay safe xx

Afternoon all, mixed weather today. Howth is pretty busy, bank holiday weekend here. Earlier on, Edward, (with his very capable assistant ) put new big house numbers outside. Honestly, you give them directions - beside the Abbey Tavern, looks like a shop but isn’t, grey shop front - and they still ring and say where are you We already have the number on the door beside the letterbox but now we have BIG numbers on the shop front fascia board as well. We’ve had lunch, Edward is flicking between golf and snooker, and I’m vaguely thinking about tidying the wardrobe downstairs....or I could read my book

Mixed weather here, too - it was pleasant if sultry when we had a walk out about an hour ago but since we came back, we've had a brief rain shower.

Just completed this week's batch of baking, so we're knocking off for the rest of the day.

We are home. Boooo!!!! :angry: :angry: I LOVE Northumberland - did I tell you? Could quite easily up sticks and live there tomorrow....you need a lottery win though, everywhere is so expensive!! It was GORGEOUS when we had breakfast on the decking, so sunny and warm.....we stripped the bed and got the car packed up and drove to Lesbury (the nearest village) parked up and walked along to Alnmouth, we thought it would be hard to park mid morning but the weather forecast must have put some off, as it was meant to rain. We walked the mile or so to Alnmouth and had a drink and a toasted teacake and then back to the car. When the sun went in it was chilly.....got home in just over an hour and since then it's been washing and dodging the showers to get them dry. Lovely now with a breeze so SHOULD be quick!

When we arrived up there on Friday, there were NO parking spaces and the beach was heaving, even the one on 'our' side which is usually really quiet - we went for a walk along it when the tide went out a bit and there were still lots there, we both said we'd never seen it so busy - but it IS summer holidays in the area, so maybe that didn't help
