Moonie, I hope all goes well for you over the next couple of weeks 
Summer, it's been raining (almost sleeting) here as well. The blue sky had vanished.
Evening all.
Just a flying visit before Shetland starts at 9pm.
Moonie, I'm glad you're okay and will still be able to pop in now and then.
Love your snow video. None up here....yet.
You have a lovely weekend too, Velvet.
El, thank you for mentioning NOTHS website. I don't have time to order online but I've used that website before and I like their stuff.
Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Hugs for the night owls.
evening *night owls*
moonie I missed your post just above mine earlier, I do apologise I hope you're up to something good over the next few weeks (*wonders if moonie is the Easter bunny*) hope to see you soon
sweet dreams yogi I hope you enjoy your show tonight, and that the little ones haven't tired you out so much yesterday that you nod off watching it 
i watched Julia Bradbury's walking show tonight. I had never heard of Golden Cap before but I enjoyed seeing it and Dorset looks delightful 
squiggle- have you been there?
velvet, I hope you have a good weekend too
leaving hugs for Ros (see you in the darnie thread) sweet dreams everyone
Good morning everyone
It's been raining here but seems to be stopping as I can see bits of blue sky. There may have been snow over the Cotswolds.
Moonie, I liked your video clip
Yogi, thanks I hope you are able to get something for your mum.
Summer, apparently the cliffs at Golden Cap are the highest point on the south coast of the UK (that may well have been mentioned on that programme).
I hope everyone has a good weekend
Good morning all very cold with sunshine & showers here today. Keep warm everyone
yes they did mention that El, and that it's the uk's only world heritage site. So a special place indeed 
i just love good geography
Good morning everyone, a cold wind blowing but quite a bit of blue sky. I see that Golden Cap is the No. 1 walk to do before you die according to the Country Walking website. No Summer I have never been there but I must admit it looks right up your street. Dorset is a beautiful county abounding in history and beautiful places to visit, maybe put it on your list of places to visit. The photo below is of Golden Cap.
Enjoy your day everyone

I have done the last on the list Haresfield Beacon. It doesn't mention that at the right time of year you can see bluebells:
Interesting news item about peanut allergy with children. Research indicates that giving babies peanut products may stop them becoming allergic to them when they get older. Research is ongoing and isn't definitive at this time.

Good morning everyone
Cold but dry. Shopping all done. So I am wondering what to do now 
Lovely piccies and lovely comments re me. Fankooooo lovely friends
El, I see Grimsby did you a favour last night
You need to capitalise on that today at Welling. Good luck
Sweet, no problems about my missed post. It can happen when there are a lot of other posts
Have a great weekend lovely people
Moonie
You sre right, I hadn't spotted that Forest Green were playing yesterday evening and were beaten. Cheltenham had lost on Tuesday so that if they win today that would restore their 4 point lead. Forest Green's next 2 matches are also against teams in the play off positions so today and the next two matches could be quite a factor in which team gets the automatic promotion. Although Cheltenham and Forest Green are ahead at the top, Grimsby are not that far behind with games in hand. It's likely that it will be one of those teams which gets top spot. Cheltenham's hardest remaining match is at home to Grimsby on April 1st. Overall they do have a slightly easier set of remaining matches than Forest Green but that can count for nothing.

El, I watched the game on BT Sport last night. Forest Green didn't seem to offer that much to me tbh...

Although that was before my time, the house I lived in when I was young had no bathroom, we had a tin bath and an outside toilet as in the clip.
Gloucestershire College has bought a run down house for its students to renovate. Once done the house will be sold on and the money ploughed back in to another similar project. They think this is the first time in this country that a college has done this as a student renovation project.

The college provides fiurther education for 16-18 year olds. I went there when I left school for a year to redo some O levels and a Maths A level before I started training as an accountant.

I was just looking at the Cheltenham score after being out all afternoon
You equalised in last minute
True, but considering that Welling is in the relegation zone, Cheltenham would have been expected to do much better. It had been 0-0 until Welling scored in the 91st minute and then Cheltenham got an equaliser in Fergie time.
Evening all.
Flying visit before Trapped starts at 9pm.
It's been a day of visiting, and visitors.
I hope you've all had a good day, and I'll catch up tomorrow.
Goodnight and sweet dreams. Hugs for the night owls.
night yogi and velvet and summer if she pops in
*night owls* I'm here to catch up on the day's events
Squiggle, I have been to Dorset, but as a child. I have very little memory of it, but I know my parents enjoyed it. If I got an opportunity these days, I would very likely go
as for that list of walks to do before you die, I've only done Skiddaw in the Lake District. It's very steep! The walks in Derbyshire & Peak District are most appealing to me. It's on my wish list to have a walking holiday there
yogi I hope you've enjoyed your day and that the family are all well
moonie I hope you're enjoying the weekend
sleep tight everyone
Good morning I've woken to a slight sprinkle of snow and sunshine
happy Mother's Day to you all
i tried to post a pretty picture but it's just not behaving today
Thats better
Good morning everyone.
A bright and chilly morning.
Good morning everyone, a little cloudier than yesterday and still cold. A beautiful picture Summer.
Remembering those who no longer have their Mums with them to send cards or flowers or chocolates to. Enjoy your day everyone
Good afternoon bramble and I have had our walk and are now snuggling up on the sofa. I'm catching up on the people vs. OJ Simpson
i hope you're all having a lovely day
Summer, did you and Bramble get to explore that new area again?
For those who like costume drama don't forget that Doctor Thorne starts tonight on ITV. It's a 3 part serial dramatised by Julian Fellowes of Down Abbey fame and is based on the novel by Anthony Trollope of the same name (and is the third of the set of novels known as the Chronicles of Barchestershire)
I adore that doodle <3
El, we were in familiar territory but I did learn a new path that joins two places I know
I've set Doctor Thorne to record, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'm currently watching the jump final
i hope you're keeping warm Moonie
