Good to hear you enjoyed your trip to your daughter's Viktoria.

Gillg, every year a friend of mine complains about 'flaming June' and I always remind her that it's often cold and wet in June! I think we did really well with the weather in May this year, lots of sunshine and warm too.

We had the women's Tour of Britain cycling race coming through here yesterday and today. A lot of roads were closed locally yesterday and the ones that were open were really busy with people charging around, many of whom probably knew nothing about it in advance. The local press reported nothing about it yesterday and have finally got round to it today, no doubt having picked it up from elsewhere. Very changeable weather for the ladies, some sunshine and a few short but heavy downpours.

Re dogs not allowed on furniture and beds  - all my friends who have dogs have started off with those intentions but they don't last!  :D Although when a friend visits with her dog, the dog sits on the floor. In fact she loves sprawling on my carpet, bless her.

Where's Viktoria? I'm sure I spotted her on another thread but not here.

Safe journey Viktoria, don't know about you but I quite like travelling by train. I'm sure you'll be well looked after anyway. Have a lovely time and we'll look forward to hearing about what you've been getting up to.  :)

I've been thinking all day that it's Sunday, I'm always like that on bank holidays. I'll be having to remind myself all week as to what day it is, got a few things going on this week.

I have just had a few days away from home and there were permanent Christmas shops in York and Stratford on Avon, I did not go in either  :)

Rosie, I don't remember seeing a Christmas shop in York but if I spot it next time I'm there I'll be sure to avoid it! I don't recall the one in Stratford either but it's a long time since I was there.

LM, I've already put some busy lizzies in a large pot at the front of my house,  North facing and quite a bit further North than you so I'm sure yours will be fine when you do get to plant them.  :)

Good that you can get some bargains LM, I don't blame people for buying ahead, it's just the commercial racket that it's being turned into that bugs me.

Hope your fund raising goes well  :)

Oh please don't mention Christmas LM! It's bad enough having things in the shops from late August without thinking about it in May! Sorry, I'm afraid that's just a gripe of mine.

Was really blustery here yesterday although quite sunny, it's windy again today. There's been a music event on the beach for the three days of the weekend, I think people must have been getting sand blasted! Lots of photos in the local press, they seem to have been enjoying themselves anyway.

I don't use Instagram but if you decide to use it I'm sure the very helpful contributors to the Technical Help board will point you in the right direction.  Might be interesting to try something new and you'll be able to impress the younger members of your family by talking about 'Insta'.  :D
