We walked and talked and walked and ate Mr Whippy ice cream and drank coffee by the river.
On the way home I bought a large selection of picnic food and some beers in readiness for a beach picnic I have organised for the hospice staff tomorrow, luckily the Welsh government, unlike the English has not changed their guidelines that 30 people can meet outdoors
So tomorrow we hope to have games of rounders, beers and sandy sandwiches and there is an unwritten rule there will be no talk of the dying, of Covid of PPE and the like
There was a bag of tomatoes left on the garden wall from someone unknown when I got home and a round robin letter stuck in the letterbox from the Vicar warning that the church may well be closed soon due to lack of funds.
Chic Eleanor left a message about meeting up with friends for dinner next weekend
I am making sour dough bread tonight
Goodness, I've never played rounders. I always assumed it was one of those games reserved for toffs and the like. But you're obviously not a toff!
ReplyDeleteRounders was played a lot in secondary school when I was a kid, 1972 - 77 in my case. Council estate kid here.
DeleteJo in Auckland
Rounders was definitely working class when I was a kid!
DeleteBeautiful picture! It's worthy of printing and framing if you have any wall space available in your charming home. :)
ReplyDeleteHow marvelous that you're making good use of your days off by meeting with friends and coworkers. Hope tomorrow's beach picnic is a delight for all attending and that the weather is perfect.
Fresh tomatoes - yum - and an invitation to dinner at Chic Eleanor's next weekend. I want to have your schedule and neighbors!
Hope, too, that the church manages to get the needed funds to stay open.
Hugs!
I hope so too
DeleteWHAT, you cook? See I am relatively new here.
ReplyDeleteI bake gemma x
DeleteHope the weather is favourable..you deserve it
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun time!
ReplyDeleteHope your picnic goes well.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, it’s been a long time comming
DeleteSounds as though weather wise it isn;t going to be a bad day so hope it all goes well john
ReplyDeleteThank you weave . The hospice does sporadic nights out , I think we should do more
DeleteLucky you no family BBQ here this year.
ReplyDeleteI know lots of changes with lockdown xx
DeleteYou've got your groove on John x
ReplyDeleteNo just an ordinary weekend
DeleteSo sorry about the church!
ReplyDeleteI am too....I wonder what will happen to it and it’s wonderful contents
DeleteA recipe for all round wonderful weekend... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLX
It’s been nice
DeleteI’m good at rounders .... I was in the school team and I’ve still got my bat !!! You live a really lovely, busy life. Good on you👍🏻 XXXX
ReplyDeleteWhat is the alternative Jacqueline ?
DeleteExactly. XXXX
Deletethat's terrible news about the church. i hope they can find a way to keep it open. it's still a long way off before we can gather in groups here. most things are shutting down again because between labor day and opening schools, the numbers are on the rise.
ReplyDeleteOh no what dire news about the Church. Local Churches are the heart and soul of a village in my mind. I do hope they whomever they are can see a way to keep it open. The Church I heard is the biggest owner of land in the UK...you would think they could sell off a bit to save it. I hope you enjoy your picnic tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
Unfortunately a bit of their land is MY field
DeleteI hope the new neighbors are as good a neighbor as God.
DeleteMaybe it will be saved. Bake sale or something.
They need 1000£s
DeleteThat'd be a really big loaf of bread, yes?
DeleteFriends!
ReplyDeleteI hope the picnic is a great success, and that you relax and enjoy it too. You could take the tomatoes, a knife, salt and pepper and SUGAR, and let people choose their favourite way of eating them. Mine is with all three! In my memory, Rounders was a primary school game when I was a child. I haven't thought of it for 60 years!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that the church will be closed so no more ringing of the bells I hope that the building itself can be used for other functions, like concerts, choirs bazaars perhaps. Sounds like you have enjoyed a full day John.
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beach
ReplyDeleteA beach picnic sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy parents had a group of friends from childhood. They called themselves the "Friends Club" and gathered once a month at someone's home for a party. One member was the Designated Sunshine Committee who organised pick-me-ups, get well gifts, and more. You would have been the Sunshine Committee.

ReplyDeleteI frequently get cold sores(which lasts for 5-6 days on my lips and its painful both physically and mentally) .. As a bodybuilder, I basically get outbreak due to the daily pressure and heat in the body.. Recently I stumbled upon my salvation. I found a herbal remedy to cure hsv completely, in just 4weeks ..
I got to know about Dr Utu after seeing a lady's testimony online. I reached the doctor and I ordered for herpes herbal medicine. He sent the herbs to me and I started making use of them. In just 2days, the cold sores are cleared. 4weeks after medication, I went to the hospital for test of cold sores and it was completely NEGATIVE.
By following every prescription, i was able to cure my cold sore in less than 4weeks. 100% natural herbs no after effect.
Note: Please do let others know if this work for you.
The doctor's email is drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
Note : follow all instructions accordingly..
If you are sure that you have benefited from this African herbs be courageous to inform others.
Thanks in advance
