One tree took the hedge and the tarmac with it!

Wowsers! That was some weekend. Power went off at 6:30 on Thursday evening and has just been turned on at 7:30 on Sunday evening. But we also have no water since Saturday! Which is hideous. Thankfully all the family are safe and so are our houses. We have lost all our fence and lots of ceramic pots and mum lost her greenhouse but nothing else luckily. Some people had their windows blown in. A massive fir tree came down at the top of the village which was quite a sight, luckily no one hurt. It was a very frightening experience, the noise was awful, except the eye of the storm which was eerily quiet and still. Not an experience I want to repeat. Hope everyone else is safe and well.

Hope 2026 is a very happy and healthy year for all.

I am thank you. Took me a good week after being able to get out of bed before I felt ‘normal’ again. So really lost 2.5 weeks to it. Never want it again! Thank you for asking lovely Sunnyday. Xxx

Hope everyone had a happy Christmas. Ours was quiet but lovely. Looking forward to my son coming down for a few days now before new year.

I’ve been knocked out with the flu. Never had it before and NEVER want it again. I have never felt so hideously unwell in all my life. Completely knocked me flat on my back for five days. Am up and about in the house now but completely wiped out if I do anything. I hope you all stay clear of it.

Froglet that foggy feeling is awful isn’t it. I’ve suffered with this since being in peri-menopause and found that my attention span is stupidly short. I’ve decided to really cut my time on Instagram come the new year as I find myself scrolling endlessly these days, it’s really not healthy. Louby loo how lovely that your step grandson stepped in, good for him.

Sounds lovely Sunnyday. I’ve unfortunately picked up some type of virus. Cough, temperature, chills etc. Am hoping that it is a short lived one and get back to normal ASAP. I thank my lucky stars it not the awful flu though. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Sorry I’m late again! Gosh reading your posts about work make me so glad that I’m not dealing with all that anymore. Sorry I know that is completely unhelpful but I really get anxious feelings when I read them. Well the weather has been truly biblical down here this weekend! Friday we had a power cut from 2pm until 2am (that was fun) made us realise just how much we rely on electricity not just for the day to day but also entertainment. Quite a sad reflection actually. Luckily my husband still managed to fly from Newquay to London to see Spurs play at their stadium. A bucket list item ticked off for him and our son. I had a very big house clean yesterday (have been dog sitting for two extra dogs) and my goodness they both shed! Then I put up the tree and a few decorations. Very early for me but it’s so dark and gloomy that I thought the fairy lights would be bright and cheerful! Excited to watch the F1 finale this afternoon, very unpatriotic of me but I don’t actually want Norris to win, I want Max too. Enjoy the rest of the weekend all. Xx

I agree Sunnyday. My elderly lady yesterday said, the next time you come we will be in December! I think I’m in denial that we are actually at that time of year! Well today I did a very long dog walk as we had some beautiful sunshine and thought I better make the most of it. It was lovely. Still spotting plants that are flowering out of season! It was a rhododendron yesterday! The world’s gone mad! Have a lovely weekend all.

My husband is flying up on the 6th to see our son and go to the Tottenham game, maybe I’ll hitch a lift to Gatwick and you can pick me up on the way!🤣

Careful froglet you may end up with all us Friday crew!

Ohhh that cake sounds interesting, let us know the verdict.

Perfect! You know us so well!

We had a proper hard frost this morning, which is rare for right down the end of Cornwall! Was blooming freezing. But it’s been a beautiful day. Cait that blanket makes me smile, it’s just like one that my Mum made decades ago and is a core memory of always being there when I was growing up. I think she probably still has it, being the hoarder that she is! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and the temp warms up for you all. Xx
