    Many moons ago, we had a fun day for the ks3 kids. Twas fancy dress, so I went as Superman, complete with Superman pants on the outside, and blue pillowcases for a cape. It was a brilliant day! :D

    And I had you down as a WonderWoman with all your burpee practice! Nothing like a bit of dressing up in school to really remind you what it's all about!

    Oooh thanks A ... not sure they have any locally as Mr. Hbbb popped there yesterday because he'd run out of personal essentials (cider) and he always looks at their plants. Will look at their newsletter and see if they're coming in this week! x

    Just in case anyone missed the fabulous sunrise this morning (possibly Tilly and MWC saw it), I present for your delight ... 4.40 a.m ...

    Just 20 secs or so after taking this pic the pink was gone and big grey clouds and thunder rolled in. I sat on the garden bench with my muesli and had a strange sense of waiting for the weather to "decide" what it was going to do for the day. Certainly doesn't seem to have been a case of "red sky in the morning ..." etc here though, it's made up its mind to be a scorcher so far ... reckon we've probably got it as lovely as GG today!

    Hope you're all having a storm free day (in all senses)!

    Loving the sunrise picture - I rarely see one of those in real life, as I don't do mornings!

    Beautiful photo. Very best wishes to Mr Hbb for this week. Often just standing up to the new brooms will send them sweeping off in other directions, looking for weaker targets.

    Have a good Monday,

    I don't do mornings either really Goldie, but I do have to do chickens who are very much morning ladies!
