Glad you had a good night LBand Debs. I’mnot a fan of driving in fog either.
On the train now. Was stood outside but did a Celia Johnson & got a lump of coal in my eye (Brief Encounter) so am back inside. Lovely sunny day & all very pretty
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Morning all, bitterly cold here but am getting warmed up for the arrival of 23.Maybe I'll introduce him to dancing, LB, that'll be a shock for him! Sometimes when I call him poppet or sweetheart, he always asks why I say that and what does it mean, gawd, we're at the " why" stage now!
LB, you sound to have had a most wonderful time last night, Im so pleased you enjoyed it and did lots of dancing,good for the spirits and good for the heart😊 When we used to my mum and dad, when we were a lot younger, they used to do a lot of ballroom dancing and we'd go along. I loved dancing with dad, he was a great lead but I rather suspect we looked funny together as he was 5'11 and I am/was only 5'2( ish). Thoroughly enjoyed it though.
@Topbird , lovely pictures and I do like the colours of that shop/house in the first couple of pics, most unusual. What is " doing a Celia Johnson " by getting a lump a of cola in the eye!? ....having never watched Brief Encounter😬 Hope the train journey is nice.
@debs64 , hope you have a great time away in Wales this next week and hope that cold your fiancée has passed onto you doesn't develop into anything too full blown. Glad you had a good bommy night( as we used to called November 5th).
@Rubee , hope you've managed to get off to sleep and maybe still there now. It's awful when you can't sleep, next day is a write off.
Must get ready now for 23 and son now so will catch you all later. Keep warm and have a nice day whatever you do.
On the way back down now. Fabulous views at the top and interesting museum about the Brocken during the cold war. For 40 years it was a Russian observation and listening point. Now an important tourist and telecommunications spot.
Popular dish in the cafes up there was split pea soup with a grilled sausage (bratwurst) dunked in it. Guess it’s not far removed from pea & ham soup….
@Songbird-2 Brief Encounter is the story of an affair between 2 married people. They meet at a train station when she (Celia Johnson) gets a large speck of cinder from the steam train in her eye. He (Trevor Howard) is a doctor and flicks it out with his pristine hanky. And so it starts. One of my favourite films…

Ah, thanks,for explanation @Topbird. Did you take any photos when you were at the top? Bet it was breathtaking. Som and 23 have come and gone in their typical whirlwind fashion....exhausting😂 Rest time now.
Lovely photos T'bird. I'm glad that you had nice time.
Hazel, have a rest now. Your small spelling mistake made me laugh, som in croatian is catfish.
Now is sunny and much warmer, but still windy. I was in the garden, but it's impossible to work. I took some more cuttings, planted one pot with tulip bulbs and harvested chilies. I'll take short rest now.
