Morning Everyone. :-D <3

Sun is out but for how long I wonder? Doesn’t really matter as I have nothing planned. I am not going out today.

Left washing on the line overnight and it was dry so hung everything up immediately as I don’t do ironing.

Enjoy the day peeps, :-D <3

Morning Joy :-) <3

Well, you chanced it leaving the washing out overnight in this changeable weather :-0
Great that it was dry and now hanging up though. :-D
I'd have to look for my iron ;-)

Here, the early morning seagulls would have probably left their calling card on any washing left out and now we have 3 baby chicks on the kitchen roof ready to add to their number :-|

Sunny and 15 degrees, at the moment.
Nothing definite planned, but might pop out for some cakes to take to school next week.

Morning Joy and Gwyn :-D <3 <3

Bright here, but not particularly sunny yet :-)

I will be watching Trooping of the Colour this morning. I do like a bit of pomp and we do it so well. Last time I was down there the Queen was on horseback, so that is how long ago.

Have a good day Everyone

Morning Gwyn. :-D <3

I would also have to look for my iron, K used to do it all. He said it was relaxing and my Mum used to say the same.

I like the chocolate traybake that Sainsburys sell. I slice it and freeze it to use later.

Gwyn, Sparkles used to do a tray of small cream cakes. They may still do so but I have not looked this year. Yummy :-D

Morning Maddie. :-D <3

I may watch it too. :-D

No sign of my package stuck at the Mail Centre yet. Dispatched on 24 May!

Royal Mail needs to pull its socks up or John Lewis needs to use some other deliverer. :-(

Morning Maddie and everyone :-) <3

Yes, I will look in at the Trooping of the Colour too.
I've never been in person.

Thank you for the recommendations Joy.
No Sparkles near here, apart from a small food hall attached to a petrol station. They don't carry much of a range though.
I do miss the main store in a nearby town :-|

Just read about the possibility that, should Andy Burnham win through, he would appoint Ed Milliband to his team. The wrong Milliband in my opinion. :-(

Good morning all :-D <3

My garden renovation is all finished now so one less thing to worry about ;-)

It’s our village festival day today so will look in later hopefully. :-)

I went to trouping the colour back in the day before it was on a Saturday. So long ago ;-)
Have a good day everyone <3

Morning Joy, Gwyn, Maddie & Von <3 <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D :-D

I'll be in the garden just before 1pm to watch the flypastt go straight over the house :-D

Blimey Von, I thought Trooping the Colour was always on a Saturday perhaps it was before I was born ;-) :-D

Pre 1959 it was usually on a Thursday as that was when the Queen celebrated her

official birthday. ;-) ;-)
