Hi Buddies
Hazy sunshine and warmish, no breeze as such

Shopping done and cuppa just downed

El, good info

 

Yogi, I hope everything went okay with your doctors appointment and enjoy you visit to the garden centre too

 

Sweet, I hope you have a good day at work, not to busy

 

Squiggle, I loved the Good Life but not so Ever Decreasing Circles. I just found some of the characters really annoying

 

Have a happy day everyone

*rummages under the bed*

nope all 20's and tenners *I wish*

I used to like To the manor born if I see it's on when I'm channel hopping, I'll always put it on

I'm not keen on the dark crime series, I like shows that make me smile & laugh (game of thrones excluded, that's just great stories)


Moonie, I've had a steady morning but now it's calmed down, I'm loving it

I'll need my strength for this coming Sunday- it's the big walk I've been training for since new year. I've gone past fear, now I'm just excited and keen to get it done

Summer, how long is the walk this coming Sunday?

Steady is good. Calmer is better
Is it a long walk Sweet? Is Bramble going with you?

EL I don't think I've even ever seen a £50 note let alone spend one.

 

Exciting Summer, how long is the big walk?

Talking of long walks, yesterday there was a long walk for charity starting from the pub very close to my church (Chetlenham side of Gloucester) to Cheltenham. Some 700 people did the walk. The money was raised for the Hollie Gazzard Foundation set up in memory of Hollie Gazzard killed 2 months ago. The walk has been on the local television news. The circumstances of her death are extremely distressing so I will not go into details as they could easily cause deep upset if I did.

I will post one picture of the start of the walk as you can see my church in the background

I had several many years ago Squiggle but needless to say they didn't last long

It was white £5 notes that I used to love.  When I saw my Dad with one they seemed so huge and they were a fortune!  If you had a ten bob note when I was a kid you were rich! I'd love to get one now, a white £5 note, and they have them on eBay but guess what?  I still can't afford them

I don't have any £50 notes - unfortunately!

Squiggle, I'm a big fan of Ever Decreasing Circles. In fact, I was watching an episode when I read the news (online) of Richard Briers' death.

Hubby and I both have purple rain jackets. On the rare occasion when we wear them at the same time, we refer to it as a Howard and Hilda day.

I loved the more gentle comedies, such as As Time Goes By, To The Manor Born, Butterflies, The Good Life and Watching.

I do like my crime thrillers too.

*waits with everyone to find out how long Summer's walk will be*

 

Evening all I hope you've had a good day

The walk is about 25 miles wish me luck! I plan to eat my way around it

El, I dare not google Hollie, but I hope the walk gave some comfort to her family & friends. I'm guessing she was quite young by the looks of her picture on the t-shirts

I've had a few £50 notes before, but not for long- I withdrew a large sum of cash from the bank to pay for a car

 25 miles is quite a trek. I wish you luck, I'm sure you'll do well, Summer.

I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm heading off to bed.

Goodnight and sweet dreams to you.

Night owl hugs for Moonie and Ros. I hope your first day back at work went okay, Ros.

 

Good evening Buddies
My day was good fankoo Sweet I hope yours was too
25 miles Sweet?

*lays on Banquet for Sweet for Sunday*

Hi and bye Yogi
Sorry you didn't sleep well

Hope the visit to see the nurse went well this morning
Goodnight. Sleep better tonight and have sweet dreams

Sweet dreams yogi I hope you slept better tonight

Moonie, I'm just watching game of thrones- back after

Okay Sweet. Hope you enjoy it

I'm back
It was good, but the ending was no surprise to me, or anyone else with some common sense lol

WB Sweet
Is that the end of the series or just the season ending?

It's episode 4 of the 4th series, so plenty of time yet
There was something from a series or 2 ago that had remained unexplained, until tonight, but I had guessed what the explanation was way back then anyway
Sweet Sherlock strikes again

Oh! you are clever to suss it out Sweet

How may episodes in the this series?

Lol not really moonie, it was an easy explanation IMO
The show is usually very unpredictable though, I often find myself holding my breath when watching it!
It's usually about 10 or 12 episodes long, not a long series but definitely intense

What shows are you watching lately?

Ahh right so plenty of episodes to get your teeth into yet then?

I tend to be sport orientated but still have the last of Endeavour to watch and recorded Vera last night too

What if there was a sports based drama series..? Would you try watching it?

Yes plenty left yet, It's very exciting

Nope

Lol just pure, unspoiled sport then

Yep

World Cup in the summer. Wall to wall footie

Is that this year?
Wow those 4 years went fast!
When does it start? What country will it be in?

It starts Thursday June 12th and is in Brazil Sweet

I see, that's great- I'll be on holiday and away from drunken idiots in the streets here! then I'll be so relaxed after my holiday that they won't annoy me when I have to go back to work. Great planning football peeps

Moonie I have to go get some sleep, I've an early start tomorrow. I don't know where the evening has gone!
Sweet dreams

Leaving hugs for absent & sleeping friends

That's good Sweet

 

Nite nite. Sleep well and have a good tomorrow. Sweet dreams

Good morning, everyone.

Some mist this morning but the sun is trying to break through.

I plan to do some gardening today. I have the front lawn to cut, and I need to pot on some plants which are being kept indoors, as it isn't warm enough for them to be planted into the ground yet.

Have a good day, everyone.

 

 

 

 

Good morning everyone

 

It's a bit misty here with blue sky trying to get through. May be showers later.

 

Summer, 25 miles is a good long walk and I wish you success You are right, it would not be a good idea to google about Hollie.

 

Good morning
A very foggy start but the sun is breaking through as I type
Everything looks beautiful this morning

Yogi enjoy your gardening

El, did your church have a memorial for Hollie?

Good morning everyone, grey and misty but no sign of the sun at all.  My gardener is here so the slope is being planted this morning

 

25 miles is a long walk Summer, I hope you really enjoy it.  Yogi I hope all goes well in the gardening.

 

Have a great day everyone

Summer, Hollie lived in Churchdown and had no direct connection with my church The reason why the walk started at the pub close to my church was that she had worked in the pub. Her memorial service was held at Gloucester Cathedral where some 800 people attended. Our church is having its 80th annivesary this year. There was a dance supper in the church hall on Saturday as part of the celebrations. Some of the money raised was given to the charity set up in her memory.

Morning Buddies

 

Yogi, I hope you manage to get into the garden and plant your plants

 

El, its dull here but the good stuff is trying to break through

 

Sweet, have a good day, hopefully not to strenuous

 

Squiggle, hope you gardener does a great job for you

the weather has improved here and it's a mix of blue sky and cloud with only a low risk of any rain. The rain has stayed away today though it's wet further south of the country.

 

Squiggle, I'm sure the slope will look beautiful when the gardener has planted your new shrubs.

The sun is still shining up here, so I managed to get the front lawn cut and the plants repotted. I also managed to soak myself with the garden hose.

 

Lol yogi, it's not that hot yet! Surely an ice lolly would have cooled you down

Squiggle, I bet you can't wait to see the slope all finished
