It looks beautiful Sunnyday. My Mum and Dad used to live in Fordcombe in Kent which I assume is quite similar. Love the Kentish countryside so different from down here. Doris was a star! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to love going up there on our holidays, such a lovely part of Kent. Since they moved back down to Cornwall I only ever go to Orpington now where my brother is, which isn’t as nice!

Orpington exceedingly built up and busy being so close to London, easy to commute from. My friend runs her bridal shop there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Late to the Friday check in! (think I'm just trying to deny time is flying past) Nothing eventful in my week, and just planning a lazy weekend due to the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember, when I was still working, just watching August fly by and willing it to slow down... It is so flippin' hot - but as I said to Mr S this morning - we will soon be moaning that it's too cold and wet 😉 Anyone seen fm - I hope she is okay and just taking a much deserved break... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Do any of you remember that satire programme ‘drop the dead donkey’ that was set in a newsroom, where the reporters would throw dead fish, or charred teddies about to make their story more sensational? I always think of that, I’m afraid, with news stories. Especially when they say things like ‘completely demolished the house’ when you can see it quite plainly still standing, or whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the same here, I got so excited and then 30 seconds later it was flipping baking again! Truro, which is about 30 miles from us had a massive flood on one of the roundabouts, cars could only just about drive through🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
