H isn't grumpy SANDY. When one objects to him doing whatever he wants, (my brand new fence is the next story) he just smiles vacantly and wanders off. I sometimes wonder if he is short on the old grey cells. We've never had a confrontation which is remarkable. He would test the patience of Mother Theresa, the Dalai Lama or…

Okay! JACKIE. A competition it is, lol. How about one Christmas and my turn to cook the bird for Christmas dinner. I look out the window and there's a strange car on my drive when I'm expecting my families cars. Out I go and see my neighbours. "Who can have left a car on my drive" I innocently ask."Oh, We know you won't…

My volunteering days are over,,,,,I think! I used to cook "Meals on Wheels" for the elderly, but I guess it will be my turn now to receive eventually. Then I used to man the desk at the Senior Centre. Impossible now because although I enjoyed the interactions the over 60 group exploded and new premises had to be found and…

As promised on post above JACKIE. My new room with a view to rival Jackie's, lol. The wife's car is missing so you will have to imagine it beyond Harry's. You can just see a twig left from the lilac to the bottom left. Anne.

Hello everybody. I am being an old misery because I've done something to my right hip and to put it bluntly it hurts like hell. Too bad to hobble over to the window to wave to the Stetson hatted Harry. Maybe I'm being punished for naughty thoughts! However, when its light enough will try to photograph from my room with a…

Very impressed with your tomatoes Lin! Anne.

THANKS JACKIE, I've found a photo and sent it to Mary Jo! Is berberis a relation of cotoneaster? I had one in Derbyshire, loved it, and it grew up the side of the house. Little green lizards lived in the roots. They were dear little green things like jewels. Apparently berberis can be grown here and it sounds just the…

Oh oh, more later. Bad start to a posting day! Annie.

Well I woke up to see three strange garbage cans on my front. We are allowed three garden refuse bins so I wasn't too pleased because I still had my garden refuse to put out. Peering in them, the remains of the lilac bush. That means Harry had dumped them there during the night without being polite enough to ask if it was…

Film star

PATSY, absolutely, utterly relieved to read from you. We have all been so worried about you and John and Katie and your family. Get out immediately if advised. I spent the day looking up the latest and it's absolutely heartbreaking. I tried to email you, but guessed everything was down. You mean a lot to our little group,…

And I'm back to Staying the same!

April first !

I fear Patsy and John may have had to evacuate, if only as a precaution. Here's the latest map of the area. I'm praying they are okay, but by what Patsy writes they live on the edge of forest. Anne.

I've emailed Patsy and John JACKIE, but maybe the power is out. It's just dreadful what's happening on the west coast. Mikes here, so more later but will let you know if she replies. Anne.

Yes PATSY, please do!! Anne.

Band aid

I'm reading inside, but outside on his side of the fence Harry in a large Stetson is cutting down the lovely big lilac tree to make way for the boat, I think. I'm very sad to see it go along with the birds and the squirrels. It's made my LR lighter and I can see all the way down the street now, but I liked the birds and…

Chicken mess.

BUZZ! Lovely long post from you dear girl. Sorry I didn't explain too well. My parcel wasn't stolen. Instead of knocking on the door for a signature received the delivery people now take a photo after knocking to show it's there on the doorstep and then you acknowledge received. Neat idea! I'm lucky BARBIE my young Bean…

A/Cs removed by Mark and Derek. Goodbye Summer? Annie

I spent the afternoon reading this new book. It really is very different from the norm but I'm enjoying it. It's rather chilly in the house and Mark said he would try and find son Derek to remove the two air conditioners but so far they haven't shown up. I've dug out my thick winter socks and a sweater which will tell you…

Quiet and rather chilly day here. Not much going on at all. Well my M&S parcel arrived and as always - so far - thrilled to bits with the contents! I suppose one day I will get something I don't like, but I do take quite a bit of time choosing to try and avoid mistakes. Other than that, having finished the Stephen King…

So glad you've made it back PATSY ! Hug from Anne.

We've just been informed here that the daily rise in virus cases is a cause for concern as we enter fall. Please take care friends. The report was enough for me to phone my grocery supplier to ask if anything can be done for us elderly folk who couldn't find a delivery date available during the last lockdown. I suggested…

BOB - re message to me, LOL. Anne. Branches and leaves all over the place on our walk. It must have been a wild and windy night! Wore a light jacket for the first time this summer. Anne.
