Cool Friday
Good morning everyoneIt is a nice day here with mother natures creatures welcoming it at the top of their voices, the sounds are marvelous, we just stood and listened to them on our morning walk, there must have been over two dozen different sounds, the noisiest was that of a Vixen crying.
It is a lot cooler, just right for walking which is what we are going to do today. A walk round Coniston water and possibly lunch is some local.
Have a great day everyone and remember, just as you need to feel wanted so do loved ones.

Good morning everyone
We have had a decent amount of rain for the first time in ages and it feels cook and fresh..
The wretched sheep keep getting out underneath the field gate, eating my front lawn and eyeing up the bedding plants. Poor things,the grass is so sparse in the field because of the lack of rain they are desperate for some decent food . Hopefully the rain will have helped to produce some fresh grass and I won't have to keep leaping up and down from my chair to shoo the creatures away.
Have a pleasant day one and all...

Take care and have a great day

what are you picking. My runner beans are doing well and I have had a small amount of fruit off my one gooseberry and blackcurrant bush and a few strawberries.

Raining here again and the weeds are shooting up fast
Shouldn't grumble though as the gardens badly needed it.My daughter is very excited today as she and a friend are off to Wembley Arena this afternoon for the Take That concert ...... I wouldn't be surprised if she loses her voice there
Enjoy your day and weekend ahead everyone!

my brother who is not that far away from you (Foolow, Derbys) has had a bumper crop of fruit this year , wish I was nearer to get some from him.

Re: Cool Friday
Good Morning Everyone. Cooler today at 21C 70F but very sunny indeed. This is my kind of weather. My chores of the day include picking up medications the pharmacy had to wait for today. They got the ok from my doctor to give me 3 months at a time. That saves time and money.I've got to find my friend, Warren, his birthday gift. With funds limited I haven't a clue what to get him. Maybe a gift certificate to 5 Guys hamburger place. They just opened a brand new one right across from my McDonald's.
I enjoyed another walk through the zoo yesterday with the weather being so splendid. The overcast skies made for some super shots as the animals were all out. Have a great day all and remember to pet your kitty.
