Awake and up all night

Love the pics.

I think I sleep better as there's no pressure to get up and do things like at home. I didn't get up until 7:30 this morning! We like Henley-on-Thames, it's one of our favourite places to visit. After the last year I'm determined to get out as much as we can.

Hi Jane my lovely. Oh my fingers will be tightly crossed for a buyer - it would be so good to get things sewn up before Christmas or thereabouts. It took me just under three months to get everything done on my mum's house sale and everything else when she passed, so I hope you get a good result too.

It makes me seethe over greedy developers; no concerns for wildlife, people's health, nothing! We've had so much round here, and it's turned a once pretty town into an awful landscape of lost fields, crammed with soulless new builds.  Grrrrr!

By the way, you've provided some lovely support for Pippa - so kind when you're going through tough times yourself.

Loads of luck on the house and big hugs xxx

Jane, I got you muddled up with Puddock for the support. Sorry about that xxx

I did write to Pippa too xx

My brain's gone somewhere else - getting old.  

It's talking to me Gilly, it fries everyone's brain eventually.

love Eddie and Sheila xx 

Lol. No, it's not you Eddie - it's because something happens almost every day to put a spanner in the works. Today it was Sky. I won't bother with the boring details; suffice to say the plonker last week, who assured us everything was hunky dory, omitted to say he'd also failed the job. So no Monday night footy to watch as we'll have to wait at least another week.

I did ring and complain, in strident tones, and was told I'd be compensated for their muck up. It's par for the course... I'm waiting for tomorrow's exicting event with baited breath.  Aaaagh!

Normal service is now resumed. Hope your day went well my friend xxx

Hi Gill,

Oh I love the "Matron"!  Yes a bit of respite would be lovely! I also have a high threshold and you realise not everyone is the same!

Thanks Eddie, They are amazing! Are they painted! I particularly love the flowers! At crochet we are doing a Project using crocheted Poppies! Also decorating the postboxes!

Oh Gill, I so know what you mean, this used to be a small village but they have put up houses and flats all around, it's a bit of a joke calling it a village now but thankfully the Community spirit is still alive and kicking!

They shouldn't get away with it. Some of the houses are advertised as here, then when people enquire about schools etc, it turns out they are outside the catchment area!
