    Catie how lovely having the masonary bees..they are having a bad time bees are...I have put plants a hiding places in my garden to bring them in..not had much luck yet
    Christine enjoy your half off hopefully the weather will be nice..its is very warm here but dark at the min
    Hope I have not missed anyone...today we were called going to the seaside with my chariot...but the car needs more doing to it... :( we love that car it is very old but has never cost us much so I suppose the time had to come..hope you all get the sun and I will see you later
    Good Luck to H xxxxxxx

    Wow, Tony no wonder you are getting excited. And as Barbara said... can we come to. They look lovely. And one with a swimming pool. I would have trouble in deciding which one.

    Morning Everyone :)

    Lovely to see you back with us Karen :) If H is able to find a job I think it will really help her both now and the future. Think it's so hard for youngsters today to make their way.

    Toni :D.... I'm really excited for you... Wow, the properties are lovely. What a great time you'll have looking around. I love France and the people too :)

    Barbara, hope they fix your car soon - sounds like it's served you well.

    Christine, hope you aren't as tired today and can enjoy the garden later. It's black as your hat here and so humid...but I shouldn't grumble.

    MrO, I hope your d-i-l feels a little better with each day. How wonderful that she has both you and your wife to help with the twins :)

    Unsure, do you have any ideas about the new decor? :)

    Hi to Elizabeth, Coco, Mig, Rosie and all visitors to the cafe :)

    Glad to see you back Karen!

    How awful about H's school not wanting anything to do with her!!! How very dare they. What eve happened to compassion and understanding?

    Toni my arm took ages to calm down. Its still slightly swollen-I look a bit like Popeye!

    Yep I blame my Mum for my mass of fillings which are now falling out! And fizzy drinks from the Corona man. I know she only wanted to spoil us but luckily I stopped drinking fizzy years ago but more for weight reasons. It seemed like empty calories.

    I'm wide awake today. I'm wondering if its my new painkillers co-dydramol?

    Hugs to all,

    Elizabeth

    Barbara - I love them all too!!!

    What will we do?! (think you and Karen and anyone else better pop in my pocket to help) We can drop MrO off at his family too :D

    Elizabeth your poor arm! Hey you reminded me of something then - I delivered corona in the 5th year :lol: was hard work too :roll:

    Gordon Ramsay unsure? Have you 'contacts'??

    Catie you can come along too to help us decide. You know they might not be as good in 'real life' :?

    What a day we have had. I have been productive in the garden - watered veggies with nematodes (helped by step-daughter). Together we sort of aerated one of the composters too. A good day's work I think and all in this fabulous sun.

    Can we really have rain tomorrow???

    Sigh....

    love

    Hi all,sadly I have been at the funeral of my late fathers youngest sister who passed away last week,she was the last of his siblings it's a very strange feeling that one side has now died out but there are so many cousins that we carry on in a way.we had to drive to the east coast with my sister and her husband so it's been a long day as the funeral was early.
    Hope you are all enjoying this weather. Mig

    Evening all
    Toni I do think you need us there to help you choose...and we could help clean the pool when you get it...or at least one with a pool..and I would be helpful in a vineyard...I think... :lol: you enjoy that is all I can say... :D
    Mig I am so sorry...I missed you this morning but didn't know you had gone to a funeral....it is sad when one part of the family come to an end...we have the same on my Mums side they have all gone now including cousins.. :( there are second cousins but we don't see much of them...you put your feet up and have a cuppa they are long tiring days..
    I wont be on again later the baby is visiting...well with mum and dad...
    will see you all tomorrow ..hope we dont get rain it is glorious here ...xxxxx

    Enjoy the baby Barbara and yes you must all come and have a dip. there was one I loved which had a field of sunflowers but it sold :(

    If it hasn't got a pool I am sure we can all dig one :wink:

    Mig I am so sorry you had a sad time :( It is so sad, but the family has carried on of course it has and new branches grow too.

    Take care

    love

    Oh a refurb. I'll help with my roller. Gordon Ramsey? Good idea Unsure

    Hope your daughter's exam went ok Karen.

    Toni, big sigh of relief when all the exams are done. Tubes for bees? I wouldn't mind doing that. Do you know what type of tubes to use? Wow, the houses look fabulous. yes, we will all have to come along for a house warming party. You have been busy in the garden. Where did you get your nematodes from? Do they not disappear?

    Barbara, hope your GD did get something to eat. My son has been a head teacher at a couple of schools and he and other staff members have bought a meal sometimes for pupils who hadn't brought anything and had no money with them. Yes, the bees are having a terrible time at the moment. I have tried to put as many bee flowers as possible in the garden and I've left a few things like brambles so they can get to the flowers. Thanks Barbara, I had planned on spending the afternoon in the garden but it was very hot so didn't do much. Hope you can get your car sorted. Happy new handbag.

    Thank you Catie. I was ok at work this morning but had to force myself out in to the garden to pull out some ivy but had to give up because it was so hot. When I sat down, I couldn't get back up. I felt totally worn out.

    Elizabeth, hope your arm is better soon and that the wide awake feeling keeps going (well except at bedtime :shock: )

    So sorry for your loss Mig. It must seen rather strange to think of one side of the family not being there any more but, as you say, there are still cousins to carry on. ((hug))

    Good Morning to All

    My sincere condolences Mig for your sad loss.

    Lots of visitors to the cafe and lots of chat - having a bit of a job to keep up :)

    Toni, some great properties and I'm sure they won't disappoint when you visit.

    Just a flying visit really as we are off to Oz tomorrow. Our youngest son and his wife are emigrating and MrsO is fretting already. The only solution was to go with them for a few weeks so she could see that it will be ok :wink:

    My very best wishes to you all and I will call in to the cafe on my return :)

    Hi Everyone :)

    Mig - my sincere condolences too. So sorry to hear about your Aunt.

    MrO, taking MrsO to Oz to see where your son will be living etc is such a good idea and I'm sure will help so much :) What an adventure for your son and his wife, and what a lovely destination for a wonderful holiday :). Hope everything goes well for you all.

    With all this talk of France and Australia, I'm beginning to get the travel bug :).
    So far we haven't arranged to do anything - how boring is that lol

    Unsure.... Gordon Ramsay :o ... I bet his advice would be interesting :) How about Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen ? He would liven things up a bit :)

    My daughter forgot her lunch yesterday too Barbara! Lucky enough we live near enough for OH to drop it in later.

    We don't appear to have had the sunshine everyone else has had. It has been hot though.

    I'm still awake. Usually I feel awful all day and deep sleep for hours. I don't mind if I don't sleep at night Applerose as I have so many books to catch up on.

    Morning Catie hope you are well.

    My gosh MrO is going to Oz :shock: and am in shock! I hope your son loves the place and you and MrsO do too :) Thank you for your kind comments about the houses.

    Elizabeth I am so glad you feel a bit more awake - I am a bit worried as I am doing the opposite :? never a good sign is it? No sunshine here today lots and lots of rain ::)

    Catie - I think it's time you chose yourselves a holiday :) You deserve one :)

    Barbara - It is lovely to see Marie back isn't it? That filed of sunflowers was gorgeous there are loads in France...sigh....am I learning French? Well I'm not too bad...better brush up a bit :oops:

    Well done you clearing out - good girl! I haven't seen Rosieglow lately :?

    Bubba is biting?? :shock: Be careful!

    Hi Unsure - thanks for filling Christine in on bee tubes - I am no expert, but Mellman is - he has loads!

    Christine :) The nematodes I use come from a site called 'Greeng*rdener' They do loads of organic stuff fertilizers etc. It's where I get my ladybirds from :D Really!

    Love to anyone I missed and apologies too :oops:
