    @Hostafan1 that is sooo beautiful 😊 

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    I’ve missed seeing the moon ... it’s been light here  for a while and it’s a calm still morning 8C and they say we should get double that later on 😎

    9C here, and very misty out. Got woken an hour ago by the blackbird singing. He’s gone quiet now, but I couldn’t get back to sleep.

    Morning all,

    Sunshine this morning, hurrah! 

    I woke up in the night and watched the moon for a while, it was very lovely. Very difficult to capture on film, great picture @Hostafan1

    Dentist this morning though, first of 4 appointments over the next few weeks.  :/

    Mother's Day this Sunday here and happily we are already fully booked for the 12 - 1:30 spot (only allowed half of our capacity) I am sure we will have some more for the next window, thank goodness for sunshine. :)

    Fabulous picture @Hostafan1 😍

    You promised us before and after pics of your new path @Lizzie27 ??  Always love following peeps garden progress 😃😃😃

    Flower farm visit was really interesting.  They are experimenting with no dig, but using green manures instead of mulch.....so lots of clover patches, that they plant straight into.  Will have to go back in a few years to see if its taken off.  Not many flowers to see, as they, like everyone, have really suffered with freezing April followed by a sodden May 🙄...so things have yet to really get going.

    Volunteering today - lots of lovely blue sky, so my drive across to South Downs should be glorious ☀️🏞

    Morning all.

    Sunshine is here too. I must mow the lawn this afternoon.

    I hope your dentist appointment goes well @D0rdogne_Damsel, 4 sounds a lot. Are you having crowns?

    The builders are here. They are going to grout the study/craft room floor tiles, then all it needs are the skirting boards and the plumber to bring the heater, which I'm hoping will be in by Saturday. Plumber, who is also an electrician, is coming on Saturday to fit the shower and a new tap on the sink in the utility room. 

    My daughter and family are coming for the weekend of the 4th June. She has 3 boys, oldest is 16. He'll have the choice of squeezing in the 2nd guest room with his brothers or having his own room in the study.

    Argh! No water, burst main down the road from us. Water butts used for loo flushing but I don't fancy washing in one. We need to be out before it will be restored so the world will just have to put up with the smell.

    I hope the sun is still with you @punkdoc ... it was here earlier but left about an hour ago ... maybe you've got it  :/

    I'll put a peg on my nose @steephill
