    hello @Pat E  ... fingers crossed 🤞 for rain ... at least it’s good to see less smoke haze ... has the wind direction changed?

    Morning all 😀. Welcome to the new week 🥳

    Volunteer gardening today.  Looks like it might be a fine morning and a wet afternoon ......wet weather gear is packed, along with a spare set of gardening gloves 🧤.

    Dad was on fine form yesterday.  Did a couple of tip runs (he’s a hoarder) ......here is my family history told through the medium of hoovers ......


  • Oh @chicky 🤗 😂

    Hi all

    Just received some very sad news, an old university friend of mine has died suddenly. We only saw each other every 3 or 4 years, but when we did we immediately lapsed back to our student persona.

  • Hi everyone, Spent a very good few hours tree planting yesterday. SD & her brood belong to the Woodcraft folk. The farmer where they go to outdoor camps etc has let them plant trees in several areas around the field where they go so I went along to help. Between the group we planted around 100 whips of Silver birch, Willow, Blackthorn & Ash in 4 different areas around the fields they use- very satisfying.

    Hi all. 
    Just been chatting with my daugther. She was in a  car in Streatham yesterday and saw the whole Police shooting incident. Mercifully they managed to turn the car round and get away before it was locked down. Not the sort of thing you need when you're 8 months pregnant.

    How awful for her @Hostafan1 ..... scary times.

    So sad for you @punkdoc ....and such a shock for friends and relations.  Live for today has to be the best motto.  

    On a brighter note, there is a sea of crocuses (or is it crocii ????) at work that is making me smile widely 😀😀😀


  • Oh 'eck @Hostafan1 ((hugs)) thank goodness they weren't any closer.  Being a parent is a bit scary eh?

    Thank you @chicky ... we need to see scenes like that  :D<3
