Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. I hope you all have a great day.
Do check back to last week's chat for OG's gorgeous wildflower garden pics And Lynette's pics of Dunedin & Hampton eaglets.
Linda - I love your pics of Tatton Park, especially autumn.
Alan -24 handbags!!!! Must be related to our Dau#2 who collects shoes & handbags. Me, I have one all-purpose go-everywhere shoulder bag. Plus the gold one OH gave me decades ago and saw the light of day at the weddings.
Brenda, Linda, Lynette, Joan, OG - On my first trip o/s I had a list of what to take. It helps remind me not to forget vital things like eye drops, film (nowadays it is memory cards & battery charger!). When I returned I noted what I didn’t use and now I check the amended list, pruning every trip. Why drag excess around? Invariably my room in B&Bs was on 2nd or3 rd floor. Besides I may buy things, such as jumpers - that’s my weakness. Stupid really because I knit them and the wardrobe is bursting. So, OG, I shall choose one of them. And camera almost lives in said all-purpose bag!
Joan - I heard a story of a local teacher who had 7 children in her class named "Amy" but all spelled differently.
Talking about Olympic tickets, our son is bidding for a number of different days when the athletics meetings are one, not sure how successful he will be but he will let us know as and when!! We want to take his dad,OH to them as its his 70th birthday next year so it will be really something to remember.
Just been watching at Caerlaverock - a few pics coming up
He finally got the hint to go after she had done some furniture arranging and hinting. Remind you of another pair!!!!

Hi everyone.Weatherwise its mega dreich in these parts. The sunshine is trying its best but I think its got a few injuries and suspensions and is having to promote a few fringe players and kids from the youth team. SWEARYWORD! A big gloomy cloud has just crept in at the back post to make it four nil :-(Very busy thread this week. Wouldn't be surprised if we broke the 400 posts barrier. Many thanks to everyone for all your posts, pics etc. My kindest regards and best wishes to everyone. To all going on holiday soon. Have a magical time :-)Edit on the weather: The sun is now shining! A quick substitution and unbelievably FOUR goals in just a few minutes. The dreich goal is under siege! Referee! How's that offside? Hope you're feeding your guid dog properly!A very Happy Thursday to all :-)Paul
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Heron great post from you I am laughing my head off swearyword and all. What a tonic you are with your humour and long may it continue. have a good day yourself and hope the bad weather will be kicked into touch.

Thanks SheilaFE link works fine and what wonderful news. Hoping this will happen in Dorset eventually as Roy Dennis was instrumental in setting up osprey platforms not too far away from me.
