and

http://www.growsonyou.com/stevietheterrible/blog/19446-day-out-at-lulus-part-3-what-really-happened

We must remember to all beam to the same place!

well dont ask me to be in charge, we would all end up in different places, i have no sense of direction!!

You got here! And the pub in Leighterton!!

ssssssssshhhhh lulu you were not supposed to tell everyone that ~ what will they think???? after all stevie said too!!!

lovely pics Sticki, looked like a great time you all had :-)

Thanks SL it was such fun!

One day......you never know... think of the communicators on startrek....then think mobile phones with inbuilt satnavs using sattelites........

I thought it was for a coffee Sticki!!
As for beam me up scottie, may be a bit of wait on that technology! I would mind a robot/slace lawn mower.edger.flowerbed/path digger...slave!
Oh, and robot dog walker for when it's raining like it is again, now!

It was lulu! Honestly!
I like that idea very much pam!
Something to do the ironing and any housework would be good and I wouldn't mind a pond either !

Lovely pictures great blog :))))

thanks mark, it was a great day!!

Dig yourself a shady pond Sticks!

i think i will have to lulu, even if it was just for the plants and hopeful dragonflies???

'dig it and they will come'????

True, they will!! And toads!

And would they eat the slugs?

What an amazing blog! It really is fantastic to see three 'strangers' who obviously clicked from the word go and had a truly amazing time together! Just lovely! :))) Cheered me up just to see these pics.

That's really nice, thanks Karen, it was just like that too!

You can tell! :)

its nice to look back on this too when outside is so awful!! this makes me feel warm!!!

Yes I can imagine. It's not bad at all here today. Not as sunny as yesterday, but so far no rain. It's windy, but nothing like yours, just the usual blustery stuff. This stormy weather must surely move off soon......I hope!

i hope so too, i have the forecast on my igoogle page, i keep looking at stornoway ~ sun all week!!!!

Well, just pop up there then Sticki ...;)...I've never been, though I do have a friend who'se from there and is renovating her family home there just now. Once it's all done, I think I shall go, I hear it is very beautiful.

it is outstanding, you have to go!! [there are no trees though thats the only downside, and it can be windy!]

i will be there in june!!

Well, I don't know when I shall be there, but I'm sure it will be quite different to anywhere I've ever been before. Imagine growing up somewhere where there are no trees!!

i cant really!!! but i can imagine living there!!

there is a web site called virtual hebrides, or something like that ~ thats worth a look, details of all the wild flowers etc.

Thanks! :) Something to do on a rainy day...like tomorrow! :)

this will start you off

:) Thanks! x

:-)

Well, what can I say after all the lovely replies , there's not much I can add to that, except to say , I'm so pleased you had a lovely day and was that you in the water!

thank you rose! no its lulu in the water but she nearly got me in too!!

we had a really lovely day ~ im sure you will have a great time too when you meet up with your friend in the summer!! please take my very best wishes.

I think toads may eat slugs in the dead of night!!?
Great weather for toads eh!!

i dont mind when they eat them, so long as they eat them!!

ducks, toads, frogs, all happy!!

Thanks Stickie, I'm sure I will. Looking forward to it.

Just looked at the other two's blogs and saw you at last. I don't know why you're camera shy. The photos were great and I enjoyed all three blogs.

Thanks Rose, I was giggling too much to worry about the photos [as you could see!!]

You definitely looked like you were having alot of fun Stickie and isn't strange when you try to put a face to a name and come up with 5 , so to speak! Lol.

:-)

Sticki ! what a wonderful day , you looked and behaved like kids on a school holiday I have a feeling that is exactly how you felt ,free to enjoy yourselves with good friends , may there be many more like that , who wants to grow up anyway :o))

Amy you made me smile, thank you, that is exactly how it felt and I loved it, has to be good for you to feel young again doesn't it?

Wow Sticki, what a lovely blog, you could be the 3 muskateers having a really fun time....brilliant, thanks for sharing it with us too....:o))

oh thanks Janey, 3 muskateers ~ great name!! i love that.
rather liked that film ~ long time ago though!!!

Ha..ha...me too...with Michael York etc? There were some good fun films then weren't there...:o)
