Carol, go you, great shopping trip! I love when I go out to accessories and end up going all new outfit. Make sure you have an afternoon tea in the Cafe in the Park in Matlock, also The Balti in Matlock Bath do an amazing Indian. Stones on the bridge in Matlock is nice for a posh evening out, bit pricey but good for a special treat. 

Moomy, I love Cromford, they have the best bookshop in the world! Cromford canal is lovely at the minute, little Grebes (dab chicks) are nesting along with coots, moorhens, ducks and swans. Enjoy your BBQ.

Had a lovely walk through the mills at Lumsdale today and made a beef stew for tea, there is some left over so help yourselves for supper if you like, have left pickled beetroot in the fridge to go on top if you like.

love Jakki xx

Burrp (blushes profusely) sorry about that,just got in from  celebratory meal with him indoors,found a lovely pub not too far away & my belly is very full,had the most gorgeous chicken breast in a creamy garlic & mushroom sauce with chips & salad followed by choc-teaser cheesecake & icecream,will be back there again in a couple of weeks for our anniversary

I can't wait to have a few days off work & i'm really looking forward to going to Matlock for the day, afternoon tea in the park sounds lovely,i may well sneak off on sunday & do that if there are too many people in the house

We went to Crich a few years ago & had a lovely day,him in doors would like to go again,hope the bbq went well & you had a lovely time with your daughter Moomie

Ooh, yes, Jakki,  the bookshop! Spoilt for choice, there were so many.....I could have lived there! 

You are forgiven for that burp, Carol, sounds as if it was a really tasty meal! 

Bbq was great! Trouble is, we all smell smoky now.....it all goes so fast, she will be leaving tomorrow at 8.30 am, we have now got used to her being like she used to be, before that ten years of being treated for lymphoma ( hers was resistant) and she's called 'the whirlwind' once more, comes home, rushes round, turns the house chaotic and then rushes off again! Hubs and I usually sit down when she's gone and go 'phew'! 

Hugs xxx

I enjoyed your last post Moomy, so glad you have your whirlwind back, must be wonderful after such a long journey xxxx

We told her, too, bless her, made her giggle....it feels wonderful that she's beginning to find that energy back once more, now and again......

yes, it's lovely just to be able to see that in her at long last, Jakki, a relief. Mind you, we are slowing down too, so however fast she is, it's a contrast!

Sneaking in to see if there is any brandy and chocolate.

feeling very low and alone tonight.

Hi Lynda

I've not seen any brandy but there's a big bar of dairy milk here if you want to share & have a chat

xx

Dairy milk sounds great to me.

sometimes life on your own is just so hard.

sorry, I'm feeling really down, not good company tonight.

Just opened a bottle of courvoisier help yourself!

chocolate ice cream in the fridge?! Now why are you feeling so bad tonight. I have a house full of family, been working away to cram us all in neat and tidy. My little Grandchildren kissed me goodnight but like you I still feel alone and sad.

I am meeting up with two other members in Brigton on the 16 th May ( day after Rays birthday would have been) I am looking forward to it and so hoping we can keep our promise to laugh together. I do so wish I could laugh for real again.

We will get,there have a feast and sweet dreams.

Love and hugs xxxx
