Hi everyone , hope you are all well xxxxx Wishing all those in America near the fires to be safe and well and know we are thinking of you in the UK . Anyone ever hear from TWT ? It is very concerning bless her I /we just need to know she is safe . Anyway love to you all xx

For friends like you xxxxxx who care .....year after year after year xxxx I love you xx

I know my darling isn't it a joke . I have watched it all this morning just to catch up and then it will be going off , but so many are just carrying on as normal and not taking any notice of the rules . So when the announcements are made that we can meet a family member in a public place but still not go in each others gardens ...but we know so many are doing that anyway ..I know loads who have family and friends over ..I live between two beautiful lakes and yesterday I went out on my bike , now that is rare for me to use the exercise but I did and there were big groups having bbq's and all sat fishing and playing footie ...and the images I am watching of our sea side places is shameful , I don't know how they are not scared . You be kind to yourself , remember I know it is a cliche , but your hormones are literally all over the place and that scrummy little bundle of beauty will keep you going and keep you strong xx you will get through this xxxxxx

oh vic lets hope that was the last one .

And you my friend The garden sounds wonderful and that is the only time I lose myself ( well i can get very involved with box sets on the tv as well ha ) but yes my garden ..I have always been able to calm my mind in my garden . I haven't been able to do as much as I usually do because I was unable to get compost , so I set a little table out on my front and just gave my seeds away and my neighbours grabbed a few so that was nice to see them going somewhere . I have used last years compost to start off my Sunflowers so one way or another I have my favourites growing . I also had quite a lot of bulbs so they will come back anyway ...so one way or another I will still make it lovely . Wish it was easier to post pics on here cos I would love to see everyone's garden .

We have had it here too fudgie ...people coughing at the police and spitting on them and running off shouting they have covid . It has brought out ome truly heart warming ,tear jerking stories but it has also brought out some very dark souls ! That's awful vic about the internet , I know I am always damaging someything or other but I am thankful to be able to switch *something * on and see someone , anyone .

I have just read back a bit ....has anyone heard from thatwasthen yet ? ....please say yes

This is the were we are in the UK .. So we can go out for exercise as often and for as long as we like now ..we can sit on the grass and benches and we can meet one person from our families . We cannot have people in our houses nor can we go in theirs . Our shops are still under strict control ..mask and gloves optional at the moment ..only so many in the shops and happy to report that the shelves are filling up . We are still being urged to work from home but you are allowed to go to certain jobs now ...NO ...pub/bars/restaurants ..no hairdressers/beauty treatment shops . Building work has started back up . i know for sure as 5G is is getting done in our street and we had 11 hours of road drilling ..grrr I nearly went mad . Are people doing all this ? ...no ...and that is why the ones that are sticking by the rules live in fear of going out !!! The majority are abiding by the rules set out ..but it has gotten quite sloppy here and the rush hour on the tubes etc are not good at all . I remember at the start , going to the supermarket , I walked in and there wasn't any fruit or veg ...nothing , I walked further round and no tins , no toilet roll , no frozen food ....I just stood , in shock , it was the most apocalyptic scene I have literally ever seen . I came home with a bag of pepper pig frozen veg lol ..Emily just looked at me hahaha . Things have got better though , you can't get everything but mostly we are finally back on track .

hey everyone xxxxxx I got my laptop finally fixedt and an hour after I got it home I stood on it ...so now I can't get back on facebook ..I also cant remember my passwords *sigh but at least I can get on here now . I have been desperate to know how everyone is . I see images of New York and actually feel sick inside for all of you ..trying to remember where you all live ..of course we see all of America that comment wasn't exclusive to my New York friends on here , all of you ..that was just the last thing I saw . I hope I have returned to a full house here and Hermes if you read this thankyou for letting me know you are ok . The day the world changed ....Sometimes I can put myself in my little bubble and forget'ish ...then the dreaded trip to the shops with my mask and gloves on , fear absolute fear that someone might stand to close , the anxiety of cleaning it all when I get home , the empty shelves , people trying to , well avoid people like the plaque ..who the hell thought that would turn into a real quote in 2020 eh . Anyway , you all have never left my thoughts , even those who get on my t1t ends ...we are in it together and I wish you all good health xxxxxxx

Oh it's brilliant isn't it .. I reckon I have seen them all and then some because it is on every day and I can watch and re watch . My daughter showed me the vid on you tube of their last table reading for the last episode ....tissues at the ready or what *sob

That's my boy ....grab life by the balls and go for it ..... Sorry she didn't turn up but don't stop being you dias .

wiseman .....you know how at Christmas you are always reminding me to follow Santa ..is it norag ? anyway you know what I am talking about .... Well funnily enough , I had put discovery on cos I fancied a story that was coming up and just as I put it on they were half way through telling the story of how all that came about , how it started with a phone number mistake ....fab it was because I had no clue of the story behind it .

Me too ...well I got them an interview and they just didn't show up , so not quite a bad , but I felt totally responsible .

You have my every sympathy darling xx

hahaha spot on , absolutely spot on .

Yes I am trying not to get political but I will just join you in saying it is mind boggling ....watch this space eh !!!!

I have just seen the news ...

haha oh really , I didn't know that ..has made me chuckle

Ah well I'm afraid the cynic in me would say * there is a reason why no one else is doing it * . But if she has managed to come up with a * never been done before * then fair play and good luck to her ..She will still be in for a rough ride because if she has come up with something , it can soon be copied and like everything , goes out of fashion very quickly in the crafting world. Oh I am being such a negative nancy lol ..

It is so so so so so difficult making a living when crafts are involved ...I agree with your sentiment ..these things need to be a sideline or a hobby .

best wishes with your healing my darling xx sorry to be late but I didn't see you say x

haha yes but all one word ..dustbin

oh it does make me chuckle when I see it on telly ...an English muffin and I do wonder if it is indeed one of our muffins or just something you call that ...if that makes sense .

aww bless you lol what happened in the end ?

aww vic is he ok with it now bless him ....I feel his pain I really do !
