May I be one of the first to wish you and your good lady a happy life in your new abode John.

Can you still see them thar hills.

[Mervyn and Trish]

So is he not in Frinton?

[Stephen]

Rumour has it he's been sighted in Costa Del Maldon with knotted hanky and whte sandals going alright guv to everyone

[Manoverboard]

I think he should start a new Topic outlining the ease, or perhaps complexities, of moving house for the elder persons amongst us

[Stephen]

It can be as easy or as hard as your wallet will allow.

The problem is not the cost of moving, rather how to persuade her indoors that not everything she deems essential will fit in a much smaller space.

Pint into quart pot syndrome .......she'll have to go

Perhaps you could have a shed on your balcony John

Please send some of that warm down south a bit please, it's been grey and coolish here for a week now.

[Stephen]

Not much better today either. End of June, more like autumn.

We had a cloudburst here yesterday afternoon, the gutters were overflowing and one of the lawns was under water ... fairly sure I spotted an Ark cruising past the dining room windows.

[towny44]

Not ventured out yet so dont know the temperature, but there is very pleasant sunshine beaming in through the kitchen window.

[Stephen]

Been for my morning walk and although cloudy and low temp it was quite pleasant. Glad I didn’t put a fleece on by the time I got back.

[Happydays]

Bright blue sky here all day and hot , it's meant to be like that until Sunday then all change

[Stephen]

Not a bad morning, at least the sun is shining, but no great shakes on the temp front. Don’t know what’s happened to this heat wave we’re supposed to be getting.

I think it's been postponed, a bit like the end of lockdown.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I blame Boris.

[Stephen]

Just filling out my compo claim

[Mervyn and Trish]

Add a couple of 0's to be sure.

I’ve got my proud grandmother hat on today - I’ve just been watching my grandson in Luxembourg receiving his International Baccalaureate certificate. My son sent me the link to the European School - it was televised on YouTube and due to covid restrictions the parents/family and friends couldn’t attend. Well makes a change from tennis and football

[Stephen]

We had a nice family gathering of six in the garden today. The weather as perfect.

[Stephen]

There's a storm brewing
