Lovely morning chit-chat thread - June 2026

Morning Tvman, glad your doing ok, and I'll pray for good news with Thursdays results, and of course for Mrs T continued improvement, lovely to hear the family are doing well and your off soon to see little Violet, for the 1st time what a wonderful moment that will be for everyone, hey I'm jealous as seeing your grandchild for the 1st time is priceless, and I hope you get to Peterborough my friend.

Evie and I got home yesterday at 7pm, just in time for my 1st appointment at 8pm, I've a few more today, before Evie's little brothers birthday party later, 3 more appointments tomorrow, then off back to the Scilly's, with a couple of friends.

love Eddie and family xx 

All the photos look beautiful.  We went to David Austin Roses on Sunday.

Wow! I love roses and always wanted to visit David Austin rose garden. I have some rose bush from them. Generally doing very well and seems ling the soil and weather here.

I’ve loved looking at everyone’s holiday and days out pics, so thank you to all that have shared. 

Eddie hope all your appointments go well, have a safe journey back to the isles. X 

Hi Chelle, thank you my friend my appointments went as expected, and we're on our way back, without Evie, though her meeting with her surgeon and consultant went very well, mums decided it's time to get back to school.

Hey aren't you off to Essex soon, Walton on the Naze, I believe?, where Sheila and I will definitely pop down for a day, during our stay in Cambridge. XX

I’m glad all is well with Evie x We are not going to Walton until September. We are off to Wales this weekend to see family, but nothing else planned until then x 

Great!

Enjoy that magical white sand and turquoise waters ...

Oh Eddie, I'm glad to hear that little Evie has had a good outcome from her consultant although I think you'll miss her company going back to the Scillies. Mum knows best I suppose and it's completely understandable that she doesn't want Evie to miss more school.

Lovely photos Lee, glad you had a good day at the David Austin gardens. When I look at a rose I marvel at how the petals are sited and with an accompanying scent, you have the complete flower. Similar to dahlia flowers, whose petals are so intricate and perfect so much so for me that dahlia flowers just have the edge over roses. 

We have a similar rose garden just outside Belfast called the Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park. It spans a massive 128 acres and is world famous for its City of Belfast International Rose Garden where you'll find more than 45,000 blooming roses.
