    Good morning everyone,

    Glad to see you have returned to the fold 02/Wendy:thumb:

    Woo,you seem to have the same weather has we have here at the moment.Hope you don't get too water logged so you can't land or take off:oops:

    Shiney,silly me forgot to look at the NT sticker on the windscreen.Our dates run from Feb1st2009-January 31st 2010 so we are ok:thumb:.We joined July last year so was panicking that we had recieved a reminder like we do with the RSPB and Caravan Club.I was looking to join the RHS in case we want to visit Rosemoor next week but they want £96 for that one:euw:

    Peri I bet you are glad that you are installed in your new home now.Hope you didn't get any rain yesterday.We had it here for most of the day and still have it now:(

    Helen,now is the time when a lot of the Spring sown stuff starts to ripen.I thought about taking up my onions last week when it was sunny but never and now w ehave the rain so they are going to have to come up.We also have more Broad Beans thta need picking,plus peas and spuds to harvest so we will have to go this morning whatever the weather.Mr K will want to watch the grand Prix this afternoon so I expect I shall be podding peas and beans and cooking the Sunday dinner{Lamb} while he is half quiet watching that:hehe:

    Penny could you send some of your sun over to us please.After all it is supposed to be the height of summer over here:D

    Rosa,I am surprised you don't go to the Lakes more often as it is only a couple of hours drive from where you live.We are up there in the middle of September and are looking forward to it.As the weather has changed here to rain I am glad now that we cancelled a week of our holiday down to Somerset this week because I think the weather would have been unpleasant.:(I think the Lakes at Christmas time would be nice especially if they got snow up there then:thumb:
    Hope you and hubby enjoy your few days up there in August,especially if you go in your Birthday prezzie:)

    Well I think that I have spoken to everyone apart form the Lurkers that is:hehe: Hope everyone has a good day.The sun has just popped out so hopefully it will be nice for a few hours.Oh I forgot to say.I found no end of snails walking up the walls of my garage yesterday afternoon plus they were all over my winetr flowering clematis{that is in flower now:cnfs:} and got soaked collecting them all up:euw:Anyway,hope you all have a great Sunday in all that you do:luv::luv:

    Good morning everyone,

    Welcome back, O2 :gnthb:

    rosa, we always go to the Lakes for a week at a time :thmb:

    Peri, I hope you have settled in OK :)

    There were loads of birds at our feeder this morning. At one time I counted 16 finches, 6 tits, one robin and one woody on the feeder with 5 pheasants, two collared doves, 5 finches, another robin and lots of sparrows all scrabbling around under the feeder :yho:

    I have a busy day today with paperwork this morning (it's drizzling) and travelling to Cambridge at lunchtime to spend the rest of the day and evening playing a bridge match against the Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire team. Then back home for a late dinner at the local Indian :thumb:

    Have a great day :D

    Good morning everyone,

    It turned out a lovely sunny, warm day yesterday and today looks as though it will be the same. :thumb:

    I need to get into the garden and do some tidying up as we have the infants with learning dificulties, from the charity we support, coming round for a picnic lunch tomorrow. We will have to make sure there is nothing dangerous lying around.

    We have started picking our outdoor tomatoes, the courgettes are growing faster than we can eat them (have sold some already) and the runner beans should be getting into top gear soon if the blackfly will leave them alone. :gnthb:

    rosa, we shall be staying in a little village called Lorton - about as far as you can get from Bowness and still be in the Lake District :hehe:

    O2, I hope you enjoyed the rally :thmb:

    Have a great day :D

    Peri, I'm pleased that you are beginning to settle in OK. :)

    Morning Rosa, Shiney and all.

    Welcome back 02 how you been sweetie? Hope your beloved is feeling fine, that Soon-2-B son-in-law needs to come around to my house if he's that good at cleaning!:D

    My goodness Rosa you on here first in the morning, whatever have you been up to?:hehe:

    Shiney sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time tomorrow with the kiddies running amok in your garden I wish I could see them I bet they are going to have so much fun. I believe no garden should be a 'show piece' and should always be open to children as they find delight and mischief in almost everything which is so enchanting, children laughing is one of the most beautiful sounds in the whole world.:)

    Peri fingers crossed you will be sorted in no time and settled into your new home, go steady on that foot darling.

    Yes Kandy loads of 'Spring' crops to harvest although still awhile for carrots (at least for us), I pickled some beetroot on Saturday and can't believe how easy it was so I am really looking forward in doing our shallots soon.

    Bob and I had some 'our' time yesterday and just did our own plot needless to say an awful lot of weeding was done and a few more sowings too, our plots are looking tip top once more and I don't want to brag but looking better and fuller than the plots of others that have been doing it for years!:yho:

    Looks like a good day for washing being out on the line and I have loads to do so will have to get cracking!

    Have a nice day guys no matter what you are up to.Hel.xxx.

    Good morning everyone,

    Its sunny out here but its a bit cooler and they say rain this afternoon.

    Had a busy weekend, and today i have laundry on the go and shingles for our roof are being delivered today too.

    The grass doesnt need cut, so thats good, and no point in watering if its going to later.

    I was at WM on the weekend and bought 2 of their Greenhouses, they were normally 90 dollars and had them marked down to 15 dollars, they are the 4 tier ones with shelving and the zip up door.....couldnt resist!!

    Good morning everyone,

    Welcome, Pippa :gnthb:

    I've had a look at the garden and see that the main lawn is covered in bees which are on the clover flowers. So I'm going to have to cut the lawn low before the kids turn up. I don't think it is safe to leave it with them crawling or playing on it. It takes quite a long time to mow when the bees are there because I have to go very slowly and keep stopping. The mower has a metal plate that comes down to the ground on the front and I gentle push them out of the way as I mow :)

    Mrs shiney has some soft toys that she would like to give them but will have to get one of the carers to check them out first. :thumb:

    There will be one carer for each child as they all have learning difficulties. Oscar has been told to be careful with them as they are rather clumsy k-lk-l k-l k-l

    Have a great day :D
