  • Morning Tvman, no worries, and thank you for eventually getting back to me, lol. So how are you doing my friend, and did storm Amy leave you alone?, we were moored up safely in Tobermory harbour sitting out the worst of it, a surreal day as you could see the effects of the storm all around, but the harbour was amazingly calm, it doesn't shield you from the rain though. Is your Peterborough trip still going ahead?, and how is th family, all doing well I hope, well we have family stopping for a few days, so I'm off back to sleep, lol.

    love Eddie and family xx 

  • Love these Eddie, especially the fawn so beautiful.

  • Hi Eddie, storm Amy wasn't very bad to us, quite windy while we were coming up from Dundalk and the radio was telling us which roads were closed, mostly in the west. 

    We've been to Peterborough, we went about the 16th September and back on the 24th. On our 1st day away we had a phone call from the couple who were house sitting for us to say that one of them accidentally left the back door of the garage open and the dog managed to eat some mouse poison. A long story short, rushed him to vet's, made him sick and some tablets and he's ok. 

    Family all well thanks, Glasgow son and daughter in law moving to new apartment in Glasgow next week. Dundalk son with us overnight back home tonight. Peterborough family all well thanks. Mrs Tvman getting her new hip replacement on 21st October. I'm not having vertigo since last Saturday night, it was bad, very bad. 

    Is Sheila away yet if not, when? Who's going to look after you? Glad you had a peaceful night in Tobermory. Take care my friend. Sleep tight lol

    Love life and family.
  • Thanks Lee2, I'm pleased with it, sorry my friend I'm totally out of the loop, how are you doing, and have you been up to, or  hoping to do, I know you have South Africa on your mind, sounds wonderful, especially as are summers over, sadly not for me as my cardiologist has banned me from flying, so no Australia with Sheila, better luck to you my friend.

  • Beautiful paintings Eddie! 
    I am not very artistic at all. I have arranged some flowers today just to cheer me up. I suppose my hobby is home decorating?

  • Lots of wonderful news there, my friend, family being well is what matters, and I'm so pleased your vertigo seems to have gone, a horrible sensation I get from time to time, due to a tiny particle floating around my inner ear, whenever it settles in the wrong place, the nausea, spinning room, loss of balance and eye's that move by themselves, not fun. Thankfully my episodes last less than a day, so I really feel for you having it for so long 

    Really pleased your furry friend is ok, hopefully the little darling is feeling 100% again; and please give Mrs Tvman a hug from me, and wish her the very best with her operation 

    Sheila's at home, for now, as are my auntie's, and their off to the Scilly's on Saturday till bonfire night, I have a couple of appointments next week, but should be ok to go on the 16th, if you mean Australia, Sheila will be looking to get a cancellation near the end of the month. I have 3 amazing daughters and their mumGrinning, there for me should I  need them, PS I slept well on the boat every night bar 1, and that was my stupidity, and no, it's not a constant. lol.

    love Eddie and family xx 

  • Hi Stella, I knew you would like Bath, are you thinking of going again anytime soon?, I have my aunties stopping with me till the new year, and we're planning a short break there for the Christmas market. The flower arrangement is wonderful my friend, does it smell as nice as it looks?.

    love Eddie xx 

  • I think you are very artistic Stella , your flower arrangements are a work of art, so beautiful.  You definitely have a gift.  I'm so glad your little dog is okay Tvman, what a scare.  I didn't know Bath did a Christmas market, will have to look into that.  Off for bloods this morning, treatment on Monday.

  • Hi Eddie and Lee2

    I really like Bath. I heard they have a very good Christmas market. Your aunties would love that. 
    I am hoping to go to Nuremberg Christmas market this year and to meet up with some friends too.

    I would like to go to Columbia street flower market one day and buy lots flowers back to arrange. Currently just getting bits and pieces from a local florist.

  • You would LOVE Columbia rd flower market Stella - so many gorgeous flowers and plants and surprisingly reasonable prices considering it’s in London . Plenty of nice coffee places and eateries along the way too . My daughter lives close by so we often pop along for a stroll when we’re visiting 

    Hope everyone is doing ok
