Wow I have just recieved loads of cards for Jeff and myself, what a lovely surprise, Thank you so much everyone... we are going out for lunch and tomorrow our friends are taking us out too..... life is pretty good.....



Love Jean xx

Morning All, gosh, I only have a couple of days off and my services are required - it's so lovely to be needed. Thanks Mo for the PM, I'll contact Linda directly and give her a few hints. Wonder if she has ever been here before. Ann, I will also let you have details of the walk I tried to do last week in the mud.

All well in our household, but F-in-L very poorly now. His alzheimers has hit him hard over the last 2 weeks and he has deteriorated before our eyes. So sad it has been so quick. I won't dwell, as I know the subjuct matter is a difficult one, lest to say that the hospital are now just ensuring he is "comfortable" and have told the family they can't do anything more for him. He isn't in any pain, but there is no telling how much longer he will be with us. My hubby is obviously very upset, but we knew there was no outcome other than this, I jjust think it is hard when you actually get confirmed what you have been thinking for the last couple of weeks,.

Us 6 are all fine and dandy and loving the Spring like weather we are having. Like many of you our snowdrops are a wonderful sight. The daffodils look gorgeous as well. They line banks and woods and are so pretty to see around the place. So many wild varieties at the moment, and many different colours. Amazing to think that there can be so many different versions of the same flower.

The children grew Crocus' (not sure of plural there), at school and they have now finished in their pots, so we have planted them into the garden in the hope that they will grow next year. We already have a lot, so probably won't notice the difference, but the children will be happy.

I'll get back to Linda now and pop in here tomorrow. Busy in the house today then meeting an old friend for lunch, before the onslaught of Football and Brownies, and a rugby match to go and watch.

Love it really. LOL.

Take care everyone.

Hi all, just a quick reply, and Happy Anniversary, 54th?, to our Jean and Jeff.

I got on well with the counsellor, a nice young woman perhaps 30?, from Edinburgh one of my favourite cities lol She only does Mondays at the mo so have to stick to that day but will only be a few bank hols over the next months and possible a holiday in June? but I think we can cope with the breaks. I will know more when I have seen her a few times and will keep you posted. Thanks for the thoughts anyway.

All best wishes to everyone who needs positive thoughts over the next few days, I have so much to catch up with so I might have to miss a few threads.

Take care all
love
Lizxx

Hello All,

Linda, Debbie is the one you need to speak to, I'm sure that she'll help you, as you said she's a very nice lady.
Hope you enjoy your holiday in Jersey and that you'll get some nice dry weather.

Mo, so pleased that you enjoyed your meal out--lovely to have a change from cooking.

Jean, Happy Anniversary to you and J, for tomorrow. Hope you both have a lovely day--also hope that D is alright.

Sylvia, hope you are feeling a lot better now. I'm sure that you're glad that things are getting back to normal there.

Liz, how did it go today? Hope it all went well!

Ann, sounds as though you and T had a nice day out, just the kind of thing that both Alun and I enjoy doing.

Love to you all, speak to you tomorrow.

Sallie.xxx

Sylvia I have copied this from the wouldn't it be nice thread as I think you missed it. I posted it at about 14.40 yesterday our time.

Sylvia (Canada). Just been scanning some photos that I want to put in my scrap book and by so doing re-living our holiday to Canada in 1998. We spent a couple of days in Vancouver and have quite a few photos, of Grouse Mountain, Gas Town, Canada Place and Stanley Park. We stayed at the Georgia hotel, had a fire alarm go off in the middle of the night and the fire exits took us up onto the roof and across it!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JEAN & J for tomorrow
xxxxx


Wow, 53 years!


Mo .... it is quite warm over here, got up to about 12C yesterday. The sun is trying to break through today, and it is almost 14C at about 1:15 pm here at the house.

Camellias and magnolias are in flower, so that means the rhodos won't be far behind.

The city is getting back to almost normal, but we do still have the Paralympic Games starting on March 12. Most of the Games events will be up in Whistler, so we have far fewer road closures etc. Everyone is hoping that the joyous street parties will re-occur.



I have to say ................ I keep having a little giggle as I scroll past that posting about 12x12 paper. I don't see the "paper" .................. and think you're talking about 12x12 as I know it ....................... pieces of wood!

Good evening everyone.
Well I am back from my meal. It was very nice,I did not go overboard,only has scampi and chips,followed by caramel apple pie,and custard.
Nothing to spicey,as I did not want to start my I.B.S off again.
I would like to take the chance to wish Jean and J, a very happy anniversary for tommorrow. 53 years off marriage. Wow, thats staying power for you.
Have a lovely evening with your friends.
Ann, when we went out for our meal,I was surprised how many snowdrops there was,on the roadside. They looked really lovely.
Love to all. See you later. Mo xxx

I was told there is a nice person on this thread who lives in Jersey, i am after some ideas of what to go and see, while we are there. we fly on Sun, so the weather will be ok i believe and we are going to use the buses to get around.

best regards

Linda

Well, way down on page three. We had a lovely day today, went to Batsford to see the glorious snowdrops and winter Aconites. Full description of my day on Daff's thread. The sun shone all day and it was as if spring had arrived. However, the weather forecast says differently so I am pleased that we made the most of today.

Hello All,

Just a quick look in before 'our' Chloe comes from school, once she arrives, she takes over the computer. Well, we had another power cut this morning, I don't what's happening, but whatever it is, I wish they would get it sorted
once and for all.

Mo, are you and Roly going out for a meal tonight? If you are, hope you both have a lovely time.

Hope everyone else is okay. Speak to you all later.

Love, Sallie.xx

Hello everybody.
I do hope you are feeling a little better now Sylvia. Now that the games are over,you can all get back to normal.
Whats the weather like at the moment over there.?
We are very lucky at the moment,we have had beautiful sunshine,for the last two days.
I headed up to town today,and boy was it warm. I had to take my scarf off.
By this time tommorrow, Marie should have her results. So an extra prayer
for her tonight girls.
Sallie I think it's quiet because everyone is out enjoying the sunshine.
I don't believe our Jean,she is so clever. It will be a lovely surprise for her friends to receive the photo,off themselves.
She's such a smarty pants lol>>>>>>>>>>>.here I go exiting right from the thread.
Be back later girls,for my telling off from Jean. Love to all. Mo xxx

Oh

I'm so sorry Mo

I forgot what day it was!



a very belated but heartfelt HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
xxxx

I hope you have a lovely dinner




Sorry that I've been missing

..... part of it was watching the last weekend of the Olympics and the Closing Ceremony, and part of it was being so achy. I think it is now slowly easing

...... but the weather is in a constant changing pattern, and I react to that as well. grrrrrrrrrr

Hi Jean,
You've done well to finish the album so quickly, I bet it looks lovely. You are clever, printing the photo on canvas paper ( I wouldn't even know where to start) I'm sure they'll be thrilled with both the album and the photo of them dancing together.

It's very quiet on here today, I think we must all be out of things to talk about, for the moment.

Speak to you tomorrow.

Love, Sallie.xxx

No sign of Sylvia since Friday, I hope you are OK sylvia, you were not too good when you were last on here.

Thought I had better make amends for all the flack I have been giving you....lol....have a nice meal out tomorrow. and then its back to normal...

Sallie, D isnt birthday minded at all... so we give her the money and that shuts her up.....lol......Managed to finish the album, looks o.k. we are going out with our friends on thurs so I will give it to them ,I have also printed a large photo of them both dancing it was only a few steps as she has Parkinsons,
I did it on canvas paper looks like it was painted...

love Jean xx

E.Mail sent Jean

A good afternoon everybody.
I would first like to say a big thank you,to you all for your anniversary wishes for Roly and myself.
And an even bigger THANK YOU, to Jean for the beautiful flowers. I was so surprised when I opened the door,to the delivery man.
Jean has given me,something even my own family have not thought about.
Both off my sons have forgotten what today is,and my daughters have given us cards.
But the flowers mean so much to me,that I cannot put into words how I am feeling.
We are going out for a meal tommorrow night. We can't go tonight,as I have got darts,and I don't really want to have to forgo going.
I will be back before I go out. See you all later. Love Moxxx
