It's pouring down this morning!
Yesterday was Trafalgar Day ( Nelson's death ) a celebtration for our victory over the French fleet in 1805!!
It was a lovely autumnal day in Ulverston yesterday. Bright sunshine but rather chilly! Winter is coming! Lots of trees shedding their leaves and the autumn colours are starting to come through. Gorgeous!
Halloween Candle-lit walk arrangements are all in place ( congratulations to the Organisers). It's a lovely exciting evening for the children. Lots of "spooky" things!! As a child we always used tunips as lanterns and I can still smell that particular smell! Nowadays it is pumpkins. As a child I had not even heard of pumpkin! We also made a stuffed "Guy" and sat on street corners with the "Guy" shouting out " Penny for the Guy, Mister? ". Times have changed.
Stay Safe! Stay Alert!
REMEMBER! The Pandemic has NOT gone away!

A bright and very sunny morning but chilly! Brrrr!
Yesterday at work was good and managed to catch up with everything ( I think). I also managed to call by the Bowling Green where Dave Mc was busy treating the grass to a dose of Garlic. The green is looking much better already and by next year we may even be able to regard it as "Silver Standard".
I had a "quiet night in" and I must say I was quite content. Finished reading my book. Excellent!
I got my summons for my COVID BOOSTER. Going to the Health Centre on Sunday. Yippee!
Stay Safe! Stay Alert!

I'm back from my few days away! I travelled down to Ascot on Friday by train. Lovely smooth journey and bang on time too. Lisa was at Euston to meet me and we then travelled on the Tube to Waterloo and then onwards to Ascot. Crowds of people everywhere!
On Saturday, all dressed up and looking splendid off to Ascot Races via a beautiful Merc Limo, for Champions Day. Fabulous day out and I even caught a glimpse of the Queen! My choice of horses was extremely poor however. Met a number of lovely folk and afterwards off to the pub to finish off the day so nicely with Darren and Shona, Kirsty and Paul.
On Sunday we drove over to Wokingham to Willam's new ( and quite luxurious and splendid ) pub called The Rose. Absolutely wonderful. It was his pre-opening Launch Date and we were among the invited guests with a super lunch and drinks all included. It is going to be a wonderful place. Mike is helping out a couple of days or so, a week. And that will guarantee that it is a success!
We visited Savill Gardens and met up with Lisa's friend Ness. We toured the gardens and the scupture trail. Can't say that I appreciate that sort of art perhaps as much as I should do, but the gardens, themselves, really are quite wonderful.
I travelled home l last evening, another smooth and very comfortable journey and bang on time again. Helen was there to meet me off the train which was very much appreciated!
A lovely few days!
Stay Safe! Stay Alert!
