Hello, Elle!
Well you have a full day ahead of you!
Ask at the gardens why your fuchsia wont grow in the garden. Is "Gardeners Question Time" still on the wireless? They could help. Maybe they do emails now?
Toby Carvery? No, I have not heard of that.
Is it a tattooing shop?
I would not encourage that, Elle. They all look horrible, I think.
Why not buy the boys quite a tricky jigsaw puzzle, to do when they visit you? I am sure Amazon will have them!

Hi, Rusty!
I suppose you might get a tattoo after you've eaten your roast meat, veggies and potatoes........?
You should try googling the Toby Carvery - I'm sure they will have one around your area - it's a reasonably priced meal - you could take the girls there?
We do have jigsaw puzzles galore! Mind you, they would be happy to get yet another one......I have a range of toys and games for them here - the Boot Fairs at the farm are quite good for that!
The dog should be back soon from her morning walk - you will have gathered that I am at home today looking after the grandkids!
Then we shall go out to the garden centre - it is quite a lovely drive there , as it's out in the countryside.
Have a good day!

Elle, I have never heard of Toby Carvery.
Who or what is he? It sounds like a tattoo shop to me.
I get my meals at home, except when I go for a bacon roll or an ice cream. I do not "do" sophistication.
I ordered a new wallet and there is a lovely smell of new leather around the house.
Got it from folk who specialise in lamb products.
Now, if I just had some money to put in it....

Rusty-
The definition of a dad (or Granddad)

A man who has photos in his wallet where his money used to be

There you go, Rusty - take some of your photos out of "The Cloud", print them off, and put them in your new wallet!
We're off out now... talk later....


That's a very good one, Ros - I haven't heard it before!
Btw, another good game we play with the boys is Draughts.

No photos in my wallet,....or money!
But... I have around 500 photos in my phone, and many more up in the Cloud!
I do not know who invented the Cloud, (Mr Google?) but they certainly get a pat on the back from me.
I am going to keep in with the lamb folk who made my empty wallet.
I think they make cosy slippers for winter, too.

One thing that made me hesitate buying a Chromebook was, it is a bit of a scutter printing stuff, if it was possible at all.
But, today, I notice that Curry's has several printers which can now print from the Cloud through WiFi.
Progress!

Good evening, Rusty!
We've had a very nice "last day" with the boys! Lunch at the Carvery and then we went to the garden centre and bought some plants, including four fuchsias for my hanging baskets. We have yet to plant them as it was too late today when we got home!
Their mum isn't coming for them till afternoon, so maybe tomorrow morning's job?
It will certainly be quiet without them once they go home! (I might sleep for a week!)
They and our youngest grandson have already planned to go to the Tower of London next visit!
The eldest boy wants to go to the Monument - the doric column built in memory of the Great Fire of London. He tells me that his teacher said that anyone climbing up it (via a narrow winding internal staircase) will be awarded a certificate on reaching the top. I don't know if this is so? I will have to research it.
I don't think I'm going to be accompanying him up it though! - there are 311 winding steps, and I'm terrified of heights.......I might get up it but I'd never get down again!!
Are you planning your Christmas present already - some soft lamb leather slippers?
Is this what they call nappa leather? or is that something different?

Elle, what is the "Carvery" for the umpteenth time!
That is a lot of steps to be climbing!
I would think not much headroom either?
I do not know about nappa leather.
My wallet came from Lambland, Ilfracombe, Devon, via eBay! Some smashing stuff on it.
You will be pleased to know it is all made in England!
Have a wee look?
Maybe you could get yourself something?
My current slippers are very good (from ASDA) but Lambland has a lot more styles etc. So...
The rain has stopped and it is a pleasant evening.
What about Junior Scrabble?
