Hello everyone welcome to the garden we have a marquee and heaters, all the garden furniture has been washed and I have put out cushions for your comfort.

Well what do you think shall we chance it . 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.

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

Okay If we were having coffee : Lets start with yesterday which was the Queen’s official birthday ( unlike us mere commoners she has at least two!) Well in honur of this event there is the pomp and cermony that is know as the trooping of the colours . Now this a great spectical even if you are not a royalist you have to be in awe of it!

The Queen has attended in a carriage rather than riding, which she did before that on 36 occasions, riding side-saddle and wearing the uniform of the regiment whose Colour was being trooped. She last attended on a horse in 1987.The regiments take their turn for this honour in rotation as operational commitments permit. You can read all about the Trooping of the colour here.

After the parade which has bands mounted ( imagine having to read music, ride your horse and keep he or /she in line and pace and play an instrament all at once!) and on foot. Horses, carriages, horse drawn guns, and marching men and all corographed to the enst !

After the parade there is a forty one gun salute in Hyde Park, they use the guns they use in the parade. All these are original world war one guns and one is roumoured to be the gun which fired the first shell at the Battle of the Somme.

Then the members of the Royal family are taken back to Buckingham Palace to appear on the balcany all together …. a rare occurance . All the spectators surge up the Mall and congregate outside Buckingham Place to get a glimpse of the Royals and to wave and celebrate….. it’s not just us brits people come from all over the world!

Righ Photos and videos?

OH! If we were having coffee : After all my jabbering on about the trooping of the colour ( it was the Welsh Guards this year) You must be gagging for another cuppa and a cake!! I am forgetting my manners sorry!

Well the weather has been a mixture this week, more coffee anyone? We have had all four seasons, pelting rain cold winds, frost over night and and glorious heat wave ( well for us that is ) weather!

If we were having coffee: Shall we all go across and see Paul and all his guests , we need to encourage Paul to start writing a book about the nitty gritty of dialysis and all the wonderful little incites he gives us weekly of his treatment highs and lows. It would be a great help to many even those who are not even going through treatment! Also all the lovely little assides of people he meets while at the hospital …come one lets twist his arm , gently of course!

Once again I thank you all for visiting me and Paul too we love to see you and hear what you have to say and we hope you will join us again next week! Hugs to you all!

Do all stay and be comfortable we love to see you all.
