    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Yesterday's (08-06-2022) lunch club Jubilee Party you can't see me as I'm behind the camera
    We even had a ukulele band as entertainment.


    PS. Correcting an error in yesterday's post it wasn't brownies I brought home but scones

    PPS. Sis and hubby just set off in the early hours for a three week holiday in Cornwall.

    That looks like a lovely event! Loads of efforts to make it so celebratory!

    3 weeks in Cornwall? They never stay still for long do they?

    Update spuds are growing as are the weeds I've sown some salad greens who will win out the greens or the grass/weeds.

    Lunch club last week was well attended 12 people there after a couple of weeks with reduced numbers due to sickness so it was good the numbers have returned.

    I've got a small purple flower growing on my front lawn first thought it was clover but on close inspection it turned out to be self-heal not sure if two words or one so I've hyphenated to cover all bases

    Sis and bro in law should be back from Cornwall they visited the Bio-dome (Biome?) Eden project and didn't think it was worth the entry charge of £32 per person so it cost them £64 plus they bought an expensive coffee to boot on top of that.

    As the little hand and big hand both approach twelve best get lunch or as we say oop north dinner else I may turn in to a pumpkin

    Wow, that's expensive to go to the Eden project - I didn't realise how much it was to get in!!!!
    Sounds like you're still busy love, so glad you've had more people at lunch club!
