Weather just hitting us! Such a shame as it was meant to be the parade of sail of the tall ships and we were going out on the boat to watch them. But it’s now been cancelled due to the impending storm. We did it before and it was an amazing experience. It still feels really strange to not have a mad summer TDL and I don’t miss it one little bit, it’s very liberating! Not long before it all starts to quieten down a little bit down here on the changeover front which will be quite nice! It’s pretty full on at the moment. well I’m off to baten down the hatches before Betty unleashes her full fury. Have a lovely weekend all.

You are talking my language Sue. Xx

I’m just hoping that we get some sunny dry weather so that my sweetcorn’s and butternut squash can ripen. I’ve nursed them through all the winds and rain and need some sun now.

I’m fed up with the weather we are having, rain, fog and wind this week. Had a glimpse of sun today for a while so I had a mad dash to try and dry all the laundry from my holiday cottage changeover. This week we had something called a fog bow form over the cove, it was extraordinary, I never even knew there was such a thing! Some people call it a ghost rainbow apparently. in our village on Sunday some people have arranged a vintage tractor rally to raise funds for the little four year old who has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. It’s just amazing what they have managed to achieve, there are now 90 tractors, loads of stalls and an amazing raffle and silent auction. This is as well as the £3k that has been raised on the just giving page. It shows what a fantastic community we live in and that there are a lot of kind and compassionate people out there. Well my son and his partner have had an offer accepted on a house in the village and a mortgage offer accepted as well. So very excited for them both and really proud that a couple of 24 year olds can do this. It’s lovely seeing them starting out but don’t envy the next 35 years of mortgage payments! Hope the weekend is kind to all.

That’s exactly what I said. They are coming home to safety and their homes and all they were doing was moaning.

The weather has been ridiculous. A couple of days this week were more like November! Pouring with rain and thick fog. We are still on a hosepipe ban as well! At least the worry that the water company had about how it was going to cope with the influx of people into Cornwall for the summer is now not a problem! I agree with you Sunnyday, enough already. Today I was doing a holiday cottage changeover which overlooks the most beautiful cove, one minute I looked out and the beach was busy, there were people paddle boarding and swimming in the beautiful sunshine, five minutes later it was foggy and drizzling! It really is the most peculiar weather. Also very bizarrely, on my walk the other day I passed loads of ripe blackberries! Where have the seasons gone? Gosh us British really do like to talk and moan about any sort of weather don’t we! When yiu think about it, we are blooming lucky when you see what’s happening in Greece and other countries. Nothing exciting planned for the weekend, just more changeovers and then taking a clients dogs out as she is working on a boat all day and her husband is currently filming the free diving world championship in the Bahamas! Have a lovely weekend all.

Cheers to Panders. Thank you for the advice and the laughs over the years. May you rest in peace and I hope that there is a way for you to know how much you meant to all of us here.

I will raise a glass. Xx

That’s lovely news Sunnyday and Panders would most certainly have wanted you to share it. Xx
-
Very grateful to her son for being so kind at this time to let us know. Very sad and very shocking. Sending you love as I know the two of you have been forum friends for a long time. Xx
-
Thank you so much for making me aware of this Sunnyday. Xx
-
I’m so shocked and very sad to hear this. Panders was a wonderful forum friend and a tremendous support to us all on here. Sending her family all my thoughts at this time. Xx

Not a tennis fan but wow, that final was amazing, I was gripped.

Goodness Cait I had no idea that it could take something so little as that. I wrongly assumed that you would have to eat a fair bit of gluten to get a reaction as severe. Poor you, it must be difficult to live with.
-
Hope you soon feel better Cait. Yes I have WhatsApp. The wild weather was absolutely awful this morning, my poor flowers have taken a battering. Hoping it dries up as I have all the laundry from the holiday cottage that I do to get washed and dried before next Friday! It’s so changeable at the moment. Wishing a good weekend to all.
-
Me too! I can’t knit, can’t crochet and have trouble sewing a button on! Listening to you guys is like listening to a foreign language!
-
That’s a fab activity, we used to do that at forest school. Be beautiful with all the coloured summer flowers.
-
Lovely activity Froglet.
-
Love the well dressing idea!

I did a gorgeous walk yesterday and managed to collect some more sea glass along the way! Main aim for tomorrow is to get my changeover done as quickly as possible and to get out and battle the weeds before the weather changes! It’s ridiculous just how fast they grow after a small drop of rain. Froglet that’s awful. How much longer do you have before you break up and can have a well deserved rest?
-
I find it so therapeutic. I can go down there and it’s the only time I can completely switch off and settle my mind.

Apologies for my absence yesterday!🤣 At that time I was looking after the mad grand dog puppy! She is 100% scatty, lively, full of mischief and kept myself and my dog completely on our toes until she was collected🤯 I think a toddler is less exhausting. Went to explore a new section of coast path that has been opened on our nearest beach yesterday, then suggested we walk a little bit further to the next beach to collect sea glass (my obsession). I then had a brainwave that if we took a diversion through the quarry it would be quicker. Now think of the steepest hill imaginable, that is what we walked up in the very hot sun only to find the secret way out has been found and blocked off!😬 To say I was not popular was an understatement! Honestly some people have no stamina! Off out for dinner today and might just squeeze in a visit to a garden centre to spend my vouchers that I got when I left school last year. Have a lovely weekend all and try not to spend it all doing school stuff!

Oh Cait, this made me smile, if I had a £ for every time I heard this over the years I would be a lot richer. Well it’s well and truly raining down here, which is great for the gardens but not for too long please! Been to put flowers on the cliff top today where we scattered Dads ashes as it’s a year today. Got blooming soaked! Sure he was laughing somewhere! Some very sad news this week, one of the pre school children has stage 4 cancer. She is only just 4. So having to travel to Bristol hospital for treatment every other week. Was speechless when I found out. The great thing is that she comes from an incredibly strong family. Also our amazing village has started fundraising for the family and as always, is getting huge support.

Sending empathy as well but my god reading your posts makes me realise just how flippin glad I am out of it now! I think the way parenting is going is incredibly sad and it makes me worry just what this future generation will be like as adults! It’s quite scary.
