Hello everyone I thought I would catch you all again as you arrive. I was thinking as the weather is improving we could start sitting out in the garden ! I think it is looking good have a look for yourselves and then we can decide if we are ready to move out there!
Well what do you think shall we chance it we can bring out the heaters we used in the Autumn if anyone is used to higher temperatures. Now as always 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.
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
Well, I am exhausted physically and mentally today so I am going to sit here and pour you all a drink do help yourselves to any cake or biscuit , remember as I have already said all are calorie free.
If we were having Coffee: I would tell you that it has been a very hectic week on the home front! Monday evening our eldest son came to stay as he had been invited to give a small lecture on a new type of working practice, that the firm he works for uses, at anther firm . We live slap in the middle of his journey and so he stayed the night with us and polish his presentation. Apparently all went well though the small casual group around the table turned out to be a room full of top bosses! he did well. He dropped in for coffee on his way back to work and gave us a debrief!




If we were having Coffee: Thursday was a lovely day weather wise and company wise too. My gym buddie and I went to Milford to meet a dear friend who had moved near to the sea about 7yrs ago but we still keep in touch , phone email and regularly meet up for lunch. Above are some views of the garden center we visited absolutely stunning I am afraid my camera does not do it justice. We all had a lovely day and though the driving did leave me worn out ( I had forgotten to take my morning tablets and had none with me) I really had a great day. After an early night and a does of pills I was back up and running ( so to speak) on Friday!)
If we were having Coffee: Now it is time to bore you all with the garden veg report . Now I misled Tangental we are growing beans and I have the photos to prove it! The Husband had planted some and not told me so I was surprised to see them growing up!! So far I can still report things are growing well! Do visit Tangental’s Blog it just wonderful!







If we were having Coffee: Were are my manners would you like another cuppa or some cakes they are also temping we even have some Danish pastries and croissants today.

On the world News front If we were having coffee: I would say How delighted I am about the Irish referendum results! Gay Marriage is now legal in Ireland ( well southern Ireland that is, Northern Ireland being slightly different because it is part of the UK) It is funny when they do the weather for the UK the shows England, Scotland , Wales and Ireland but the weather is only the Northern Ireland patch ..Southern Ireland obviously has no weather? 😉

Now isn’t that a conundrum? And what does Northern Ireland think about all this well….. I am not going to go into this here but I have here a link from the Guardian which you can peruse! read here and draw your own conclusions.
I am personally delighted live and live and let live and give everyone a chance to be themselves .

How wonderfully fitting there were Rainbows over Dublin and Cork as the the results came in …. A sign from God I think waving the Rainbow flag!!
If we were having Coffee: I would have to admit that I did not watch the Eurovision Song Contest ( I was actually too busy watching Person of Interest , we have been watching season 1,2 & 3 and found it amazing, we are totally hooked!!) Sorry I digress we have watched the Eurovison in in the past but it has turned into a joke now . First Terry Wogan had us all stitches with his cutting and humourus comments and commentary and now Graham Norton is filling his shoes ..well! Sadly the UK are never liked much in Europe and too much of the voting is political . I am glad we don’t win because I think this country has better things to spend vast amounts of money on…. ie Health service education , benefit fraud, immigration …I need not go on ! Any who !! here is our entry.
we came in the bottom end of votes but it’s not a bad Euro entry.
And the winner Sweden …Well done Sweden , nice visual effects ! Good Eurovision song .
Oh ! and Australia joined in for the first time….. How does that work Australia ..in Europe? As much as we all love you guys there is no way you are European! here is their entry. Another good Euro song.
Well as you can see I am very tongue in cheek about the Contest come back Wogan do a double act with Graham Norton then I might watch!!
If we were having Coffee: I would say lets finish on that light note! Lets go and find Paul’s guests some of them are out here in the garden and some are in the house . Have a great week and don’t forget Paul is guest posting all over the place track him down and enjoy his magic! Cordeliasmomstill has a link of all his post here Check Codeliasmomstill blog out too it is so much fun !! Okay love to you all and see you all next week I hope !!
