Congrats Mare on your 52 years.. same as us which is tomorrow!
 Weather looking iffy but that would be same as actual day when no photos outside church as it threw it down… same for our bbq 50th celebration too!

KG hope you’re soon back up and running and able to continue to make use of your spa and gym, sure it will aid recovery and well being.

Hope everyone else is fairing ok ….
As neither Lancashire or Yorkshire born can’t really pass comment on the rivalry but good friend is Yorkshire born and very canny!

August is looming very fast! We will have been married 52 years on 4th August..
Many congrats BBee 61 years is some going, hope you’re able to celebrate the day.
Lovely and sunny here today despite the clouds that keep bubbling up and it’s quite humid..
just finished cleaning the house so some lunch and then a shower I think or maybe the ironing first, what an exciting life!
Family off to Singapore and Brisbane on Friday for three weeks, visiting cousins and our son.. grandsons are beyond excited looking forward to seeing kangaroos in sons garden. He’s purposely kept the grass long for them, they come in every day.
Miss going out but it’s a long way and although OH is bionic man now he doesn’t find long flights very comfortable, so hopefully they’ll be home maybe end of this year or next. Thank goodness for FaceTime at least we can see him to talk to!
Hope everyone has a good week and enjoy the weather.

Glad to hear you’ve sorted it LM… instructions can be vexing at times!
Once when my OH was trying to sort out some reading on our elec meter what ever he did following the electric companies info it wouldn’t give him the night readings… several phone calls later after  a lot of chuntering and helpful lady told him the instructions were useless and sent him a whole new lot that worked perfectly!

KG - sounds like a great scheme to have 8 wks free use of all those lovely gym facilities… hope you find them beneficial.

Oh dear LM child locks always a pain I’m constantly doing that on my cooker hob, no idea how I manage it but it’s a darn nuisance… hope you manage to sort it out ok.

Much needed rain for the gardens and the water butts are now full…

it’s such a pity that weekend events have been cancelled ( in my area).. Rockingham Castles reenactment w/e was cancelled, local car show, such a shame when so much hard work goes into the organising….
Previous w/end we were at Kimbolton castles country show and sheltering from the intense sunshine…

Glad LM you managed to dodge the showers and KG enjoying your events.
Looks like a mixed week… normal school holiday weather!
My daughter, hubbie and grandsons are off to Australia for 3 wks to visit my son… wish I could go with them but lots medical things going on so in the too hardbox at the moment..🥲.

It's 28 degrees here on the North East Coast. That's nothing to me having spent the last couple of weeks in 35 degrees in the Med.  ;D Forecast down by ten degrees tomorrow.

You've certainly clocked up some miles Caroline, you must be so proud of your grandson.

Now 32C here so staying inside watching Wimbledon…. Already two retired through injuries not the best start for the tournament!

Glad you enjoyed your time on the med.. Hope you enjoyed your time there.

We are super proud of him, he wasn’t at all  overwhelmed by the experience which is great as it means it took it all in… our daughter organised a box for us all ( other grandparents too!) and she’d told him the number so he could count along and watch for us! Lots of big waves from him when we arrived and easy to spot with his blond hair!

Gosh LM you’re brave tripping up to London today… take plenty of water! Hope you enjoy your visit..

Currently 29C outside here … would have loved to stay in the air conditioned sports hall all day as doing Pilates was lovely until we stepped outside!

Spent last week driving from Brighton and back in a day, then down to London and back in a day, finally to Cirencester for the w/e… all lovely trips but OH does all the driving and is looking forward to a rest this wk… until Sunday when we drive to London for eldest grandsons 12th birthday!

Our London trip last week was to see our youngest grandsons play his saxophone at the Albert Hall along with 1,399 other musicians & choirs to celebrate Ealings Symphony Orchestras centenary celebration. It was a magical evening and grandson was full of it all at 9 three quarters something he’ll remember for a long time as will we all.
Try and stay cool everyone today and although it’s lovely to have a sunny warm summer this maybe a little over the top.. pity those poor souls in Europe with 44+ ..a sign of things to come.

Our strawberries 🍓 too are wonderful this year, large flavoursome and juicy… netted over to stop the birds eating them and definitely a bumper crop. My family will enjoy them this w/end when we visit them in Brighton.
I love this warm weather with a gentle breeze but avoid the garden until early evening when it’s cooler and shaded.
Think we’ve had more bbq’s already than we did in whole of last year!

Hope everyone is able to enjoy some warm sunshine so good for one’s soul…

Caroline
