    I can vaguely remember being 15, a tough age for a boy, and I am sure for girls too. Oh the raging hormones.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    Teenagers eh?! 😨😍😎 
    We have a misty morning here in Norfolk … the app calls it fog but it isn’t that thick here … but there’s probably some nasty patches out in Broadland … take care out there folks! 
    That meal sounds (and looks) marvellous @D0rdogne_Damsel 😋

  • Good morning everyone,  we still seem to be on French time, as I have been up an hour already.  Very damp start here too, but some patches of blue breaking through.  Managed a bit of tidying in the garden yesterday as it is green bin day today. At least the truck is elecric now so much less noisy ( they usually come around 6am).  
    Meal sounds great DD.

    It's raining here. I planted a pot of tulips to give to a friend for her birthday - Peter Nyssen China Town as I know she likes that colour combination. Today I am going to continue with clearing up stuff from shelves, cupboards etc. Tomorrow I have invited friends for lunch as it is OH birthday. 
    Sending good vibes to all. Take care.

    Morning all.

    Your posts made me laugh @D0rdogne_Damsel   

    Happy birthday to your OH for tomorrow @coccinella 🥳

    This morning villagers have been asked to meet on the green for a clear up the village morning. The green is opposite our  drive so I'll go but when I walked through the village the other day I only saw 1 piece of litter. It's a tidy village, pretty with front gardens and grass verges.

    JH once offered my daughter an election leaflet on Godalming High St. 
    Her reply:
    " the only thing I want from you is your resignation "

    Sounds like a very special meal @D0rdogne_Damsel.  15 is such a difficult age but it sounds as if your Charlie is handling it well.
    Two birthdays close together @coccinella - the tulips sound like a lovely idea for your friend.
    I always pick up litter as I am walking about and pop it in the nearest bin - lots of us do that.  We have a chap who keeps the centre of town free from litter; although he seems to spend most of his time chatting to people so I wouldn't say ours is as tidy as your village @Busy-Lizzie   But what makes me mad is people shoving their litter into hedges.  And I found a dog poo bag shoved into mine recently. What on earth do dog owners think happens to the dog poo they take the trouble to pick up and bag and then just leave it in hedges - or worse, throw up into trees?

    The dog poo fairy takes them away. Well known fact in dog owning circles.

    We're going away for a few days tomorrow. Slightly apprehensive but it'll be good for us to break out of the routine, I suppose. I had to do the trip for work, so we decided to extend it before and after and stay in some nice places and treat ourselves a little. It's a part of the country neither of us has ever visited before.
