What a day I had yesterday. All plans went out the window, and I had quite a few, but Linda phoned in the morning to ask if I could invite her and the lady that works a plot at the allotments I used to dig, over for coffee. Of course I said yes and Rachel arrived first, in tears. It turns out she visited her plot on…

Dearest Patsy, there was an ocean and continent between us and yet I felt from day one of meeting her, we could have been neighbours and close friends nattering about our daily lives. I like to think her spirit is still with us and for sure, her creativity, warmth and humour will stay with me forever. RIP dear friend. ❤️…

With the weather being so awful, this time freezing and slippery, I threw myself into housework and food preparation yesterday. I was so sad to learn we had lost our dear Patsy but goodness, what a life she had! Weren’t we all lucky to meet her online and get to know her. Sunshine around midday melted surface ice enough…

Good morning! I’ve got another 2 loads of laundry hanging out in the sunshine but plans to collect Sheila and drive to the moor soon had to change because on my way I found myself driving on black ice but managed to very carefully avoid other cars. Sheila was waiting outside and had already discovered how dangerous it was…

I’m sorry I missed posting yesterday but the day and evening ran away with me. What was supposed to be a dry one ended up soaking me and the pooches yet again as we splashed through a river that used to be a road! I messaged Charmaine to explain we wouldn’t be able to do anything she planned on Sunday and when we finally…

Another dark, dismal and rainy day. Floods everywhere so even a short dog walk is unpleasant and I do believe I’m suffering from SAD because I’m so fed up and becoming irritable at the slightest thing. Also finding it difficult to get motivated to do much but yesterday evening my friend Charmaine phoned to suggest she and…

Yesterday was horrendous here with yet another crazy storm sweeping through. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to get back into a walking routine so took George and Betty to a section of moors I thought would be sheltered but instead found myself battling 80mph winds and flooded ground! It became almost…

Happy New Year dear Sneaker friends. I’ve sat up to watch our London fireworks and listened to a few outside but not enough to disturb George and Betty, Now time for my bed. Wishing everyone good health and happiness. 💕🥰💫⭐️✨💥🍾🥂 Hugs across the pond. Jackie ❤️

Hello and happy Saturday. Yesterday I was picked up by Sheila and after stopping for a few groceries we drove to the top of Caradon hill where our transmitter sits. It was dry but blowing a hoollie and George and Betty had a great time running about in the wind. It was difficult to walk at times but fun too. It was the…

Today was my first outing in my car in over a week but I very nearly didn’t get far because yesterday’s storm knocked down a small tree covered in ivy that was hanging precariously over our exit track. Luckily I was able to squeeze past it in order to take George to Debbie Woof Woof for his postponed appointment. Sadly,…

Wow, a break in the rain clouds so, after a bowl of porridge I took George and Betty out for a walk. It was the first time since Wednesday so I took my time and halfway round stopped to take in the fresh air before heading home. Christine and Richard phoned me and I was instructed to drink as much water as possible so as…

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves. Anne, we have to stop saying the following year will be better. I’m sure we’ve done that the last couple of years! I’m so sorry you can’t be enjoying Mary Jo’s cooking. I’ll never understand people being so selfish as to cough and splutter over fellow diners, knowing Covid is in the…

Happy Thursday! I’m even more blah today so apart from walking round the block with Betty and George in a Force 10 gale, Ive stayed inside. Anyone seeing my struggle to walk in a straight line must have thought me drunk because each time I lifted a foot I was knocked back or sideways, which was exhausting! I agree Anne, we…

Here we go again! This time my unfinished post decided to post itself! That’s something living on my own, I can avoid people, especially crowds and hopefully flu and Covid. I’ll come back tomorrow to finish this because the page right now is bouncing! Jackie 🥰

Not a good day for me. I seem to have picked up a chill that has left me feeling blah! I think it was a walk on the moors at the weekend when I got so cold. I postponed George’s groomer because her mum is in her 90’s and has had a couple of bad doses of pneumonia this year so I felt I shouldn’t risk spreading any sort of…

Now I am becoming fed up because yet another post has disappeared. I typed while I waited for rain to stop before walking and posted after letting Betty into the garden and realising it was dry. I saw it under the snowman teapot before I left! I can’t go over it all again but since then I went to my GP practice and a…

Boxing Day

Camel saddle

Grey, a cold wind and generally gloomy but I did drive to the moors to walk and give George and Betty a change of scenery. Bumped into David and Ruth with their dogs but none of us wanted to hang around too long in the cold so home again where I’m still trying to get my head around the complicated heater programme! The…

So another post of mine seems to have disappeared! I posted yesterday between a lovely walk on the lower moor with the pooches and some gardening jobs because yes, it didn’t rains! The first time since June that I felt content pottering and pruning even though I’m faced with weeks of work. No chance today because warm…

Hello Sneakers. I will try to post again but can’t begin to go back on what got lost! It continues to rain, of course but I’ve managed to walk on the moors a couple of times and today we walked round the block without getting soaked. Halfway round there is a property where the lady puts out plants for sale so I’ve bought a…

I’ve been having problems getting on to MFP. Midnight now so off to bed but will persevere tomorrow. Jackie 🥰

Lost my post!! 😲😬😠 Hey ho, hopefully back later. Jackie

Horse race

Happy Sunday everyone. Our roads are still running rivers but I did time our morning walk right for once so we even saw a splash of sunshine! Last night’s concert was wonderful and I was so impressed with these young adults and their talents. We listened to carols, marches and separate solos, one on trumpet played…

About to go out to a Royal Marine Christmas concert which should be fun. Rain on and off all day so nothing exciting achieved although the pooches have had 2 walks in between. Happy Saturday. Jackie 🥰

Good morning. I’m home from a jaunt across the moors and it was obvious both George and Betty had been getting bored with our short strolls round the block because they’ve been running and zooming for an hour. It was bright but a cold wind blew on the top moor. As we returned to the car park I met Brian walking his Westie…

After the storm came an amazing sunset that turned everything, including me, pink! Jackie 💕
