    I hope you have warm clothes at the ready for when the plane doors open, brrrrrrr
  • Just think in 30 months or however many are left, you'll be there permanently :T

    Weather is still cold, (bl@@dy freezing in fact) so enjoy the remaining blue stuff in the sky :)

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Been "encouraged" to use my own log in :D

    This is the first time I have ever left the UK with a coat so consider myself lucky to be returning in April and not be carrying it!!!

    Went for another long walk today curtailed by ....... ahem, getting lost

    When we found ourselves back on the beaten track came across a nice bar/ restaurant where we decided to stop off for a drink

    As per previous sentiment, when we got inside the place was immaculate (no suggestion from outside of the fare on offer within) and the owner was SO nice that he had little trouble enticing us into lunch. GG will have to have a few NSDs to compensate - but, as she has said many times, don't scrimp on the enjoyment



    Going to pop round to friends now after I have watered the aforementioned plants

    See you all

    Must be great having a conservatory for spring and autumn :T hope you enjoy Cornwall.

    Beautiful clear sky but chuffing cold at the mo, last coffee outside (no more milk) then will hang some washing out upstairs. Lovely to see friends last night :T, unfortunately some others arrived late last night so will just be a quick hello/goodbye this morning.

    Will sit and watch mountains changing colour in the sun a bit longer :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
