    Thank All of you who mentioned about my son coming over. Yes we had such a big hug and tears flowed from me.

    Although we have Scype it is not as good as the hug you give and get from your loved ones.

    He wanted to see if I was ok as he is worrying about me. He said if I ever need him just ring and he will get the next flight available to come back.

    Grandson still excited over Micky, Minnie mouse. He has seen the Parade and said he did not hide behind a dustbin like he did when we went with them some years ago.

    He has been on the Paddle boat down the river, been on lots oif rides with daddy.

    He met Goofy as well this time. I love him talking to me when he is excited.
    Love Trish xxx

    Dear Trish,

    :) Thank you. A dip in the ocean, compared with all you have going on, my lovely. So happy for you that you have such a loving son and grandson. It is one of the best feelings in the whole world.

    Love

    Hi Elna,

    Poor you. I do hope you are not in pain.
    I have just made my first home made tom soup and loved it. We have toms and onions by the ton too and I would hate to see it wasted.

    Glad Lola enjoyed Brighton beach. We keep meaning to go (daughter lives close to beach) but Lucy tum troubles still stopping us going far.
    Let us know how you get on,

    Elizabeth

    Well, I`m not just cheerful, I`m bl**dy ecstatic!!!

    For the first time, in months, I have no workmen with big boots traipsing all over the house. It feels like my own lovely home again, although still lots of decorating needed, and carpets to fit. I`m enjoying choosing designs and colours schemes though.

    Trish, so happy that you have your son and grandson with you. There is nothing in the world like holding them in your arms is there?
    My two have taken it in turns to nip home for the odd night, whilst all the work has been going on, to make sure I`m OK. I feel cherished.

    Elna, please take care of yourself. I think of you often, with love.....Ange.

    Dear Elizabeth,

    :) Thank you. It is all a bit inconvenient at times. :roll: :wink: Trying to see what agrees with me and what does not. :roll: :) early days yet though. In the big picture, it is pretty minor, more of an irritation!! :lol::lol:

    It is an achievement making soups and things isn't it? I enjoy basic cooking especially using homegrown produce.

    I hope you and yours are ok. :)

    Love

    :D I have logged on just now and had 2 message awaiting me, one from someone who is on the forum on a regular basis and another from someone who has not been on here for a long time. I am very touched to hear from both of you. :)

    Lots of love and gentle hugs to you both,

    :D I have been out and about this morning locally on my bicycle and it is wonderful to be back home at the little haven. The weekend has truly started. I am in the throes of making a huge batch of fruit buns and when they are ready to be put in the oven the aroma throughout the home will be lovely. :D:D Little things please little minds. :D

    My reason to be cheerful, is that my two daughters and granddaughter are still alive after being in a really serious car accident today. I'll never know how they walked away from it but just grateful they did. here's to life folks, may it be long and happy!

    Thanks Trish, apart from some cuts and bruises and a bit of shock, they seems ok but will likely be more painful tomorrow. I'm just glad they're alive xx Thanks for your kind words, they mean a lot xx

    Hi Brenda - what awful news for you a few days ago. I do hope that you and yours are feeling much better now. Someone was most definately looking out for them that day.

    It was good to see my mum looking so well yesterday. :)

    :) Today I am going to mow the lawn. It needs a haircut after all the rain we have had. I may even trim a hedge and some shrubs - see how it goes. :wink: The sun is shining, blue sky with fluffy white clouds. A keen breeze though!

    Hope today is gentle to one and all,

    Luv

    Elna how lovely that your mum is so well, I still miss mine after 27 years,
    My reason to be cheerful is, the sun is shinning, my anti inflammatories are working, and best of all my granddaughters don't go back to school till next week, so don't have to be at 7 just yet :):):)
    hope everyone has a goodish day.
