Everyone, hope you all well. 
Havent been around as went down with a chest infection, on the mend now. Hoping Yogi,s PB other Gran getting better. Hope too you have a nice time with PB, Yogi.
What a beautiful house, yes i read the Beckhams were interested in the property. 
Hope you all having a good day and the weather fine for you all, not bad here, chilly but nice and fresh. 
Take care all 

Skylark, i'm sorry to hear that you've been down with a chest infection but am glad you are recovering

 

If anyone is interested in looking over that house, there's a gallery of 37 images of the inside of the house and of the grounds on this site:

Aww Skylark sorry to hear you have a chest infection, there are so many suffering with that at the moment.  Wish you better soon.

 

The nuthatch is back, same bird different nut.  Heaven knows what nut he has, it's not a peanut, it's huge, he can hardly get his beak around it, and it's very round.  This one looks pale, the other one was brown, but the same size.

Squiggle, could be a macadamia nut:

Thanks El and squiggle, yes on the mend. 
Wont be putting in a offer on the house, dont have £25 million at the moment !
Thought you were calling squiggle a macadamia nut there El till i saw the comma

It looks very similar but I am pretty sure he is getting them off a tree or bush because they look like wild nuts and not pre-prepared.

If I did have that much money, I would want to buy Chatsworth

Squiggle, I don't recall any dreams from last night but I certainly did sleep week after my curry

I hope you all sleep well tonight leaving night owl hugs for yogi, Ros & moonie and get well soon hugs for skylark

night summer-sorry to have missed you yogi

Good morning everyone

 

Sunnier than yesterday here. Expected to be the last day of the recent dry spell.

 

Summer, I suspect Chatsworth would cost a lot more

Good morning everyone, wispy white feathery clouds this morning, but dry until tomorrow I think.

 

I think you could be right about the cost of Chatsworth EL Those are beautiful houses to visit but not my sort of home.

 

Enjoy your day whatever you're up to today everyone

Morning all, sorry i went off rather abuptly yesterday, wasnt keeping an eye on the time and had to collect the wee one.
Hope you all well today. Thanks Summer, i am feeling much better.
Have a good day everyone xxx

Good morning Skylark I'm glad you are feeling much better

 

Squiggle, I don't know what the cost of Chatsworth would be but a few years ago there was a major refurbishment there at a cost of £14m.

 

I have to have professional indemnity insurance and there's been a broker who has been emailing me to see if I was interested in getting a quote from them. I wasn't and have recently renewed the policy for the coming year.

The broker rang me the other day so I told him that I had already renewed the policy with the exisiting insurers.

 

Got an email this morning from the broker with a quote for the next year. I'm not impressed and replied accordingly.

(in any case their quote was higher than what I'm paying )

 

Hmm.. Maybe I could buy just the gate house or one of the cottages then

Good afternoon all it's been surprisingly very busy here so far today, and now the sun has come out to shine on us

I hope you're all having a good day

Summer, sounds like a plan re the gate house or a cottage

To be honest El, a little cottage would suit me better than a big mansion would anyway

Yes, me too. Cheaper heating costs as well

In Village Road in Cheltenham there is a small cottage called Box Cottage. It's sandwiched between two ordinary houses. A Google street view link to this

 

You can't get much of a view from this because a tree is blocking the view.
Few people would know that it's there.

 

There's a nearby lane called Tanners Lane. I found this article about the history of Tanners Lane. It mentions Box Cottage but doesn't show a picture of it.

Evening all.

 

PB has gone home, and her gran is better so I'm not needed tomorrow.

 

Good to see Skylark back, and feeling better.

 

Give me a cosy cottage over a grand mansion any day - but I do think the Beckham's new house is beautiful.

 

 

Evening lol yes very true, and easier to keep clean too!

Yogi, well done on completing your marathon babysitting stint, you deserve a jolly good rest now

 Evening Summer. How has your day been?

It's been rather busy yogi, and then I went to an exercise class after, so I'm treating myself to some early duvet time now

How was your day? Is PB as charming as ever?

 I'm under the duvet too.

 

PB was great. She is going through a very helpful stage and wants to "help" with all the housework. However, Keira didn't appreciate her help, when she used Keira's waterbowl for water to mop the kitchen floor!

bless her, and Kiera lol
Did you have to redo the floor after her?

 Yes!

We'd already washed the floor in the morning, so after a second mopping, it is very clean tonight.

Lol I remember letting my old bosses kids "wash" my car every Saturday, then having to go home via the car wash

Is PB celebrating Halloween in any way?

I'm going to Churchill yogi, sweet dreams

 

Yes, she wants to be a pink witch!

 

Goodnight and sweet dreams Summer.

Godnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Night owl hug for Ros.

Good morning everyone

 

Raining here and dark. Rain forecast to ease by the afternoon.

 

Yogi, I'm glad that you had a good couple of days with PB and that her other gran is better

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Thanks El.

 

The sky is dark and threatening to rain - it rained and was windy overnight.

 

Need to pop to the bank and also pick up a prescription, then catch up on some ironing.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning overcast here this morning

I slept so heavy that I've awoken with a headache (and miss bramble on my pillow )

Yogi I hope your errands don't take long and that you can have a relaxing afternoon

El, when are the new neighbours moving in?

I see moonie wasn't around yesterday, hope he's ok

Leaving good morning hugs for squiggle & skylark

Collects good morning hug from Summer - thank you I needed it. I hope your headache clears up soon.

 

Very rainy and miserable here, I am planning on staying in but miserable weather for anyone having to trudge around in it.

 

I love the story of Little Miss Helpful and can just picture Keira's face

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Yogi, I hope you don't ger rained on when you have to go out 

 

Summer, I hope your headache goes bow that you are up

The new "neighbours" house is about 25 miles away from me so I'm not expecting to see them when they move in

 

Squiggle, the weather is much the same here as for you but the rain has eased and the clouds aren't so dark. As the change in the weather had been well predicted I cut my grass yesterday. It was damp but not as wet as it would be now.

 

It appears that dogs may have originally come from Central Asia either near Mongolia or Nepal.

It's brightened up here and although still cloudy there is some blue sky

The man who is attempting to swim the River Severn is currently trying to swim the section known as the noose.

He has been advised against it as "it is very very dangerous" as it has whirlpools. There are a couple of small lifeboats nearby but that part of the river is horrible, even for boats.

That article could change depending on what happens.

Oh my goodness, I hope he's going to be safe!

The sun came out beautifully here, so we stayed out a while longer than normal and then Bramble got top marks at her quarterly check up
Now, I'm relaxing with a cup of tea and watching a movie on True Christmas channel

Squiggle, I've always got a hug for you should you need one I hope you're alright

Thanks Summer, just a poor night's sleep and being awake at odd hours is disconcerting.

 

That guy does sound very foolhardy EL as Summer says I hope he is going to be OK, it even sounds as if it would be difficult to rescue him if he got into difficulties
