Good morning Sunday

[Kaz]

Afternoon everyone

We've been to Highfields, the garden centre out at Whitminster. We had Doreen with us, so could park in a disabled spot - handy really as the car park was busy, and it was pouring yet again We needed winter planting and D needed a few bits too. I got some heathers, some viola, and a hanging basket for the front that should last the winter. We were just going to have a quick cuppa in the restaurant, but they'd started serving Sunday roasts, so we succumbed It saved me cooking later I don't want to jinx it, but in the last hour or so it has actually stopped raining for the first time in four days! Fingers crossed XX

Jen I'm so glad E is home. You must be so relieved! xxx

Love to all xxx

I'm glad that E is home Jen and I hope he gets the appropriate level of support now that he is.
Fingers crossed for good news with the re-op. x

Oh Jen I AM glad E is home!! Lots of R and R now xx

Well we have had a largely dry day after 48 hours of constant rain! It's even been sunny for a spell!! And not too cold....my heating hasn't clicked on so it must be mild! he seaside called, so after a lazy start to the day, we headed down to Crimdon, probably the nearest beach to us, for a stroll along. We saw some paragliders coasting along, it looked great fun but I imagine you'd need to be really fit to do it! And there was a fret, or a mist on the beach but not everywhere, so some people walking along looked like ghostly Lowry figures....I didn't have my phone or would have taken some pics - so pretty.

After we drove along to Hartlepool Marina for a coffee and then back home. I've been pottering about the house since, making the bed up with fresh linen and having a couple of loads of washing to put through. During early lockdown I made a cardboard heart with twigs found on walks, and then painted it white. I finally finnished it the other day and hung it up with Command strips as advised, but it's only been up since Thursday and today it fell off the wall!! I have thrown it in the bin as most of the twigs had come off and tbh they weren't sticking on too well to begin with. I think I made it too big as it was about 3 feet across. Ah well....

I put some beef chunks in the slow cooker and we've just had them with mash, kale, broccoli and carrots, it was fab! Might have some ice cream later.

Hope you all have a good evening xx
