I look out onto the garden from my living room.. which has a sunroom attached..
I can open up all the doors..
Nothing posh...

No new limerick has been started
This has left me broken hearted
Ok, let's give it a go
But my thoughts are a bit slow
And my brain from quick thinking has parted

 Although I can see out.. the glass doesn't seem to let people see in..
My kitchen is at the back of the house Scrumps,  so I tend to look out on the garden mostly.

I have been to the shop.. Spent a couple of hours in the garden tidying up.. A Robin kept me company..
I haven't seen one for a while.. I am sure there were two..

I'm not sure it that is the Brave browser I use which blocks a load of junk or my PiHole which does too. You probably won't want to run a PiHole but you could try the Brave browser instead of whatever you are using.

Thank you.  I will have a look.

Good memories for you CHF.  

Just got home from Cheshire, quiet weekend planned.  Just a nice birthday dinner tomorrow with my OH, and a visit from daughter & granddaughter.

Quote from: GrannyMac on May 15, 2026, 08:37:52 AMIt's almost my birthday, my two lovely kids and my daughter in law (2nd daughter 💕) took me to Edinburgh yesterday.  We went on the Northern Belle, old fashioned dining cars with silver service.  Started in Crewe, with a piper on the station.

It was a wonderful day out, with a visit to the Edinburgh dungeons, and a couple of drinks 🍸 in the Edinburgh Gin distillery, then a lovely dinner and champagne 🍾 on the train home.  A real treat.
That sounds wonderful, such a lovely day out. 

There's a lot to do in Edinburgh. I spent my honeymoon there in 1954.
