Lovely morning chit-chat thread - June 2026

Good morning 

Lovely to see peeps on various holidays and day out despite/ because of the conditions we have.

I was in London on Friday and visited the king’s gallery for the late queen’s clothing exhibition. it was very nice, lots of beautiful ball gowns etc, amazing workmanship esp all the embroidery work.

Going to a grand garden open day with a friend today. Hope for no rain. Have a good Sunday everyone x

Oh wow what a fantastic experience Stella. The gowns look very Bridgeton! It is lovely and warm and sunny here this morning so I hope it is for your garden opening today x 

I always love seeing photos of your adventures and flowers Stella, those gowns are quite stunning! I hope you have a lovely time today, and hopefully have good weather for the garden opening.

Hello everyone 

I’ve been travelling whilst still stable and not on any treatment at the moment . We’ve been on a cruise and visited South Korea and Japan . The highlight for me was meeting a Maiko (trainee Geiko  or Geisha as we know them) in Kyoto . It was absolutely fascinating to hear about her life . Here’s Toyko at sunset and Mt Fuji coming into view in the early morning - very mystical ! 

Hi Susan, 

Yes, it makes total sense.  We're staying in what was a popular Victorian seaside resort south of those cliffs. Charlotte Bronte and Che Guevara have visited! Not as well known,  but there are beautiful cliffs here too.

What beautiful pictures guys, and how wonderful we can visit these places, we're at the Isles of Scilly, but have to pop home for a couple of days "appointments," we'll get back soon xx 

Looks absolutely amazing Eddie

Thank you friend, the 1st picture is the view at the end of our garden, how are you doing?, and of course your lovely wife and family. xx

Not too bad thanks Eddie. Bloods to get done on Wednesday followed by a telephone consultation on Thursday to tell me the results. Fingers crossed   Eddie.

Mrs Tvman is improving regarding her knee, it's not so sore now. All children (now adults of course) and grandchildren great thanks. We're hoping to get to Glasgow at the end of the month to see little Violet. We get many photos and videos of her laughing and giggling but we haven't experienced them in person yet! Then in August we're hoping to get to Peterborough to see our daughter and family. 

Hope your and Evie's appointments go well on Wednesday Eddie then you both can get back to your little corner of paradise.

Not much luck with the weather but this trip took my mind off the pending scan results.
