Good morning and thank you for breakfast Sylvs - porridge for me please.

Sylvs!! I can't believe that your grandson is 3 already. Good heaven's, it doesn't seem two minutes since he was born!


Not stopping long as I have to go you-know-where and am doing the presentation this morning. One day I am going to slap our Vicar - this must be the 4th or 5th time he's asked me to lead. It gets harder and harder trying to come up with a variation on the same theme :-(


Never mind - soon be over and I can put my feet up. No meals to cook today - family coming for a takeaway tonight :-D

Good morning Cyn


the years have certainly passed quickly!!!


you'll be fine !



see you later!

want to make sure I got the message, Cyn ????????????????

I think that porridge has given her the hiccups Sylvia ;-) :-D :-D

Good morning all - I seem to have slept in as I didn't wake until 8.00 :-0 - Something must be 'catching up on me' :-D

Thank you for the lovely breakfast Sylvs.................. delicious as always <3

Will be back for that gorgeous lunch later.

Dea Xxx

I see Cyns is repeating herself.....again again again


We have a dusting of snow here :-|

I introduced Tammy to 'crumpets and poached eggs' yesterday, she should be having them for breakfast...do you know how hard it is to describe a crumpet to an American :-S

Happy Mothering Sunday to all those who qualify.

Only 3 weeks left now until Easter.

Thank you Jonesey - your thoughts are appreciated.

I've deleted the extra posts - I had real difficulty in posting this morning - kept getting the dreaded error message. :-(


Everything went okay this morning (I hope). The place was packed!! :-0

So, did you record your presentation and will we be seeing it on YouTube?

What topic did you cover?

Ha Ha. No, Moses in the bulrushes.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Happy Mothers Day to all.

Son came round with the grandaughters. I can't believe how big the baby is getting and looks so like her Daddy it was like holding him as a baby :-D

Off to organise meal I should have thought about a takeaway too Cynthia :-(

Shame its not going to be on YouTube!

There was a gang of us at the hospice today, we all ate lunch in bistro....very nice and Tammy loves Yorkshire puds

Sis went to her JW meeting at 1pm, that will do her good, getting out I mean

No1 son....mothers day gift: card, two cheese and onion rolls (because he knows I prefer them to choc) and a box of very nice, nutty chocs
