We are off to Trentham Gardens in a minute for a nice early morning walk before the rain comes in this afternoon. Have a good day everyone. We also plan to go to Trentham for walk this morning but not until after 10 because I am back on the school run this week followed by a quick trip to see the hairdresser to get my hair trimmed, it has grown faster than the weeds in the garden while we were away. Have a great walk. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted July 15 #60329 Share Posted July 15 Morning everyone, Raining down here and forecast to do so for the rest of the day. No plans, except to wait for a phone call. Hope everyone has a good day. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted July 15 #60330 Share Posted July 15 Good morning. Very disappointed with England result but Spain were the better team. Their forwards movement gave their ball players options to open England up whereas we are too slow. My breakfast was nice as was the view this morning. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 15 #60331 Share Posted July 15 Good morning. Lovely in Lincs. right now - but not for long, I fear. Some good bits from yesterday, Carlos playing like a genius, Novak being gracious, and seeing Kate and Charlotte - how lovely they looked. Our football team being unsurprisingly outplayed by the best team in the competition, so not a disgrace, and it is nice to see that the papers etc. are not being nasty about them. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted July 15 #60332 Share Posted July 15 The grumpy one has been deposited at school we were unfortunate enough to be behind a very minor shunt on the school driveway, the drivers both got out and started yelling at each other while the rest of us were sitting waiting for them to move so that we could drop our kiddos off. A teacher appeared from somewhere and she managed to get them into their vehicles and to move to where they weren't causing an obstruction. I felt sorry for the children, my niece said that if she had been in one of the vehicles she would have been embarrassed by the shouting and swearing which we could hear even with the windows up and the radio on. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it was lovely that Kate took Charlotte to Wimbledon and then William and George were supporting England in Germany. I do wish that they would allow Geoge to dress little less formally at football matches, I know that he is representing thd Royal Family but he is still a young lad watching a football match.

tring Posted July 15 #60338 Share Posted July 15 (edited) 5 hours ago, Beckett said: Good Morning from disappointed of Hertfordshire. The best team won undoubtedly but I still feel a bit flat this morning. I hope Gareth doesn't resign. I'd like him to stay for the next World Cup but he, and others, may decide otherwise. If he does go I was wondering who would be the next England manager. Like @terrierjohn my first thought was Eddie Howe but I agree he probably wouldn't want to leave Newcastle. So here's my suggestion - Jurgen Klopp. Great manager, wouldn't take any nonsense from prima donna players, already a Scouser, what's not to love? Just something to consider. it was so good to see the Princess of Wales at Wimbledon yesterday and Princess Charlotte is a little stunner. I also thought she (Catherine) looked very thin but her radiant smile and warmth was still very much in evidence. Have a good day everyone. Jane xx Klopp has made it known he will not be doing anything for a year, but there are thoughts he may be looking at running his national team. May make Germany a strong contender in the future if he does. Edited July 15 by tring 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cannot believe people stay in their cars waiting to get so near the school when they could have parked a little distance away and walked their children to the school if necessary. A few parents dropping children off right by the school were becoming a problem for safety when our son was at primary school in the eighties. Amazing to me how times have changed even further, but we do not have grandchildren. Times do not seem to have got any better though.

Splice the mainbrace Posted July 15 #60342 Share Posted July 15 (edited) I managed a 3 mile walk across the local fields earlier before the rain arrived. The potatoes that I saw being planted in early May are now flowering and making a pretty sight and thistles are also flowering. Disappointingly although I walked past 100s metres of nettles I didn’t see any evidence of caterpillars and no butterflies on the thistles, bramble or our butterfly friendly garden flowers. There were a few bees but not that many. 😩 Edited July 15 by Splice the mainbrace 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted July 15 #60350 Share Posted July 15 Lovely sunny day here today. Yesterday was nice as well, I’m just hoping that the good weather extended south to Edinburgh so @Megabear2 could enjoy her adventures. Forecast for a drenching tomorrow unfortunately. If it moved it got washed today to take advantage of the good drying weather. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
