The Chill Out Zone

The sky has darkened & it's started to rain, I can't complain it's been a bootiful day here.
Salmon filet, roast spuds, cabbage & carrot/swede mash for tea.

What a wonderful playground the dogs have

Enjoy your day both of you.

I'm off to Lotus again shortly and it is a lovely sunny day out there. A gentle breeze and a fairly warm 20c forecast for the afternoon

Good morning Jeff

Thank you for those words and thank you for posting up your visit to Lotus. It’s love to see the weather warming up for you, 20C is okay for the time of the year.

26C is forecast today with 80% humidity, so can’t complain really.

Anything planned for the weekend?

Superb photos and I am glad to see you enjoying yourself touring. It’s a nice change to see blue skies and water reflections, thank you for taking the photos and for sharing them.

Have a great holiday.

Not been a good day.

Woke up to find we had a power cut. It was just past 08.00 when the power came back on.

Just felt out of salts today, no get up and go. Tried to do some gardening but my back said no.

So having a cuppa and watch a bit of snooker.

Good morning Bob

Hopefully you will feel better soon.

Mam was joking about leaving us out of her will, I got a card & flowers coming back from the funeral & went round with them for a chat. My older brother lives there with her & see's to her. I go round twice a week to see if she needs shopping or such, but I've been run off my feet lately.


What an idyllic place you have there, Bootiful pictures Phil it looks so tropical there.


I've been in the greenhouse to open windows & door as it's getting warm although no direct sunlight, The bell pepper & chilli seedlings will like this warmer weather.












Simon & Louis want to be out in this nice weather to. They've been kept in for a while as there are a few fledglings out of their nests & on the lawn. I made sure they weren't about before letting them out.

Good morning Ian

Thank you for the photos as we love seeing what you are up to.

Thank you for the update and for reassuring me about your mum and Noreen.

Do check to see if Noreen is on blood thinners or anti clotting medication if the confined to bed carries on. Loss of muscle power, muscle tone and sometimes the legs contract if in bed for a long time, hence the need for community physiotherapy. Noreen or yourself will have to keep ringing up until you get a result and chase up Mediquip.

Let’s hope the stair lift comes through. It will make such a difference.

It’s lovely to see the weather is improving and the temperatures going up in the greenhouse.

Today, I hoping for a 3rd CCTV to be put up high at the back of the house which will overlook our new neighbours and our back garden. The new neighbours are going to knock down the existing house and wall separating our properties. We have asked them to put up temporary tin fence up so that our security is not compromised during the house rebuilding works.

We do have a high hedge which is ours and they asked if we could cut it down, we said no.

The cameras will be useful to see if they get up to any tricks whilst we are away. When I spoke to the owner, the new neighbour, he boasted how money was no object and he will do what he wants on his own property, he was a bit of an arrogant so and so. I told him to calm down and have a fag.

I reported him to the environmental agency for wanting to destroy our hedge and have threatened him with legal action if he tries anything on. Not a great start for harvesting neighbourly relations.

They won’t be starting work until the rains have stopped.

Time to get up and face the day

A beautiful photo, thank you.

Are you any better?

Morning all, It's a grey start to the morning, but the forecast says we're in for sunshine & temps of 20C today. .


Morning Phil, She finally got through yesterday & explained everything so she's just waiting on an appointment now.



Good news with the stairlift too, they're a private company who specialise in second hand stairlifts, Their prices are alright & they're coming out next Tuesday to access the stairway.


Blimey! your new neighbour sounds like an arrogant bully type of person, I hope things work out between you.


Cracking sunset pic Steve, It must be nice to see the sea every day, It's usually a decade or so between me seeing the sea.

Thank goodness Ian, Noreen and yourself are making progress. It’s great news she has an appointment and the stairlift company will do you a good deal. As you know we had one put in for our dad at his home when he was alive and it was life changing.

The new neighbour, I don’t mind what he does on his own property. He is building a 3 storey house with a pool and riding stables for a horse. Hopefully he will calm down and behave in a more friendly and respectful way. He is a little man, chain smoking and a big belly, I would be happy to address his lifestyle choices with him, but will leave it

Do keep us posted.
