Heading down into the rain this morning. 🙂 🙂 I doubt very much we will. I have nice memories and I certainly don’t need another post of Ludlow. Can’t possibly compete with you, and most of all because you’re NOT there 🙂 🙂
Hi earlybird! 🙂 I’m hoping the weather behaves itself tomorrow. Today’s forecast isn’t good but by the time we get there… we’ll pootle round Church Stretton and see 🙂 🙂
We’re supposed to head into it- lucky us! 🙂 Apparently Tish has a sister with an interesting shop there and there’s an antiques centre so if we need a dry spell. 🙂 Seeing Tish and Graham tomorrow night for supper. Nervously excited, as ever, but she seems such a lovely lady.
Aha, die Gemeine Grasnelke is called thrift in English! 🙂 Well done, Jude.
I must admit, didn’t know and had to look it up. Love learning new words.
Wishing you a great weekend,
Dina & co
Hi Jude, I just got back home on Tuesday, August 8. My sleep is really messed up right now; on Saturday and Sunday, I napped 5 hours during each day. Needless to say, that messed up my nighttime sleeping! I need to get on a regular schedule soon. It’s exhausting. I also keep having dreams that I need to get somewhere. I’m always waking up thinking I have to catch a train or a cable car or an airplane! I guess that’s what I get for never taking a rest over the last 4 months. 🙂
Just a plan to go to Hungary, Austria and Czech Republic in late September – early October. Plane tickets bought but we haven’t reserved anything else yet. 😊 How about you? Anything interesting in the works?
We call dianthus / carnations ‘pinks’ but this species is Armeria maritima, commonly known as thrift, sea thrift or sea pink. So we are both right 🙂
Cornwall in Colours 
Pretty 🙂
Ah! A thrifty post 🙂 🙂
All I have time for at the moment!
Ah, but is he making good progress? 🙂 🙂 We spent yesterday afternoon at an animal farm with a small boy. The bigger boy had fun too 🙂 🙂
He’s eating well and walking about 3 miles a day! I can’t keep up with him!
That’s good news 🙂 🙂
When are you off to Shropshire then? Enjoy! It is a delightful county and you MUST visit Ludlow. I insist!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your pootle. I have never wandered around CS itself. A bit damp here too, though I don’t think it is raining at the minute.

How long are you down there for?
Back Wednesday eve 🙂 🙂 Take care! I’m just doing a couple of comments on Bolton Abbey then I’m off!
Pink and green go so well together. A nice cheerful and colourful image, Jude.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Thank you Pete. I intended to try and find more wild flowers this year, but life is full of good intentions!

You too. A bit gloomy down this end of the country today.
What a cheery photo to brighten my Saturday in gloomy Virginia. I hope all is well, Jude. 🙂
All going good Cathy, thank you. When did you get back home?

Well now you can take a rest for as long as you want 🙂 Any plans?

Pretty in pink!
Taken a couple of months ago? Who would have thought those months would be as they have.
So glad to hear how well he’s mending!
I think we call these “pinks.” Lovely no matter the name.
