Sounds like you've been extremely productive on the house front, Mrs_S! Keeping everything crossed for your biopsy results....{{{hugs}}} xxx
Sugarbaby, how lovely for you to be out socialising again - your art group sounds fab!
I've a day of deliveries today, so will be sunning myself in the egg/pottering around the garden whilst I wait....not that I had any plans to go anywhere. Everything is looking so much better in the sunshine - loads of plants getting buds (including some roses!) 😊Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

Mrs. S. I had a call back a couple of years ago, just needed draining! And then all was fine and has been so for the past few years - I hope you have the same result x

Well I am back. This is the place we stayed, gorgeous - a lovely converted farmhouse. My room was at the top of the house, in the unrendered stone bit, you can see the open window.The house was spacious and very comfortable and we were so lucky with the weather. Warm and sunny every day.Lots of champagne moments, great food (even if I do say so myself as I did most of the cooking). We didn't eat out anywhere so we splurged a bit on really nice ingredients and spoilt ourselves. Great for the soul and the taste buds, but maybe not so good for the waistline.😂. Didn't do a lot, still being mindful of the virus, at least until DS1 gets his jab (he has asthma). I get my second jab tomorrow.
All in all a lovely time was had by all. I think it did us all the power of good after all those long months of winter lockdown. I feel well rested and ready to forge ahead now.Garden first......
Hope you are all well, happy and thriving. Oops just noticed the photo is missing, will try again.7 -

It looked like a lovely place LL. I'm glad you had a good time.
I had such a nice day out on Friday. I went to Greenwich park and I walked around and took some photos. It was quite sunny although it got more chillier at night. Then I met my brother for lunch and drinks in a pub and then afterwards we walked down to the Thames and had some G&Ts. Then we had dinner later at Cafe Rouge.
It wasn't particularly on a lemonade budget as I spent quite a lot but it was worth it.
I didn't even feel that weird to be out and about again as I thought I might feel nervous. The tube was quite empty but the buses were busy.
I noticed a lot of hairdressers were open and had clients in there on the way home so they must be opening later than usual. It felt so good to get my hair cut on Friday too.
I am going to visit the chazzers again this week, different ones this time as I want to look for some summer clothes. I am going to paint my toenails today getting ready for sandal weather, hopefully.
