Firstly before we go any further I need to tell you that my genial co host Paul Curran will not be posting ‘If we were having Coffee’ this week because he is unwell . He sent me an email Friday , saying “I’m sorry Willow, but I think I have to go into the hospital tonight – something broke inside and I am in a lot of pain. won’t be able to do the weekly post until further notice. My apologies.”

So lets all sen a huge get well to Paul we will keep you in our thoughts and those of us who want to ( me included ) can pray for your safe return soon!

Well Paul if you are reading this be assured we are all rooting for you.

If we were having Coffee : time again to ask how are you all are and what have you been up to this week! Come in it is lovely to see you all here again. The fires are lit the cushions are plumped up and we have the coffee and tea on the go and the cakes and sweets are all set out. We have tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.

If we were having Coffee: I would ask you what has been going on in your world this week, has anything deeply affected you, have you need a sympathetic ear, a shoulder to cry on or just needed someone to make you laugh! If yes feel free to talk it out here with us. We will all help if we can.

Join in !

If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster

Now welcome to Paul’s guests, well I know I am not Paul but I shall do my bet to keep you entertained until his return!

If we were having Coffee : I am delighted to tell you that my Gym Buddy is back from her Caribbean holiday, she is looking extremely tanned and well… am I jealous HELL YES! but I am glad that she is back as it is always better to do our classes as a pair , that way our trainer has to split his attention rather than working me to a shadow!

If we were having Coffee :I would tell you that I have decided that I cannot do the A to Z April Challenge. I have so much on and I do not have enough time as it is so rather rush and bodge I have decided I am not going to put myself under too much pressure. Mind you plenty of my fellow bloggers will be entering and no doubt will be calling me a wooze!

If we were having Coffee : I would ask if you would like another cup of anything or a cake or biscuit? there are plenty here to choose from! Doesn’t that make your mouth water .

How is the weather where you are it is very mixed here, one day freezing but bright the next warmer but dull! There is one thing about England you never get bored by the weather. You never get used to it either!

Here I have shown you my walk to and from the gym and what a difference a day makes from one to the next, from freezing fog to clear blue skies and a rise in temperature.

If we were having Coffee: I would say I would like to extend my sympathies to the families and friends of the crew and passengers of the the German Wings aircraft that crashed into the Alps last week. There were no survivors. I am not going to enter into the debate about the where’s and why fors all I shall say is may God rest their souls. If you wish to see more read here .

Well it is time for me to go now as there is so much to do! Let us hope Paul will be well and back with us very soon.

And of course the
