    Bakers, do you just sit there and wait for blank pages? You point hoggerWink

    BTW, my comment yesterday about minimalism was made because the little devils hadn't appeared at the time of posting but did appear next time I refreshed the screen! Preferred the minimalism myself.

    1st  November means the start of free parking in Cornwall council car parks, at least here in Perranporth. So we've spent most of the afternoon walking the length of Perranporth beach and back without having to take out a bank loan first! Wink

    Still very warm, still wearing shorts but the forecast for the rest of the week suggests today might be the last day for that ( much to Mrs M's approval!) Laughing

    I can see Bakers2 little devils.  Perhaps it just depends on the device you are using.  I guess some of you will not ve able to see this: �  (3 purple music notes)

    I think it may be caused by posting icons from a phone.  Bakers2 posted 3 devils from his Kindle.  In response, I posted one from my Galaxy Note 4 and the page instantly blew up!  Embarassed (posted from the CT emoticons, so it should be OK.)  Apologies everyone.

    Looks like it Ian!

    Been up to Leek today do do a recce.   We were hoping to go up to Blackshaw Moor CC site in 2 weeks time.  When I went to book, I realised it would be closed so we've been to find an alternative.  We've booked in at Glencoe Caravan ParK at Cheddleton.

    Triky - Well, if that cold spell that the weather forecast keeps talking about arrives, the grass could very soon stop growing........but it didn't arrive in Yorkshire today...been lovely and mild again.

     Can't remember the last time we've not heard fireworks going off at this time of the year.

    Funnily enough, Nellie, Mrs.WN and myself were saying exactly the same thing this morning. Maybe it's because younger kids are having a harder time getting their hands on them or else money is tight. Not complaining as they're not my favourite things. (fireworks
    not kids, although.....UndecidedHappy)

    remind me of first world war verey lights . Its Hubby's birthday, only firework I need so we celebrate that. Its a milestone one this year. Government starts to pay him

    WOW,  B2  are  you  really,  truly,  honestly  that  old  to  be  able  to remember  them  ?? 
    Surprised 

    But  may  the  OH  collect  that  cash  from  H.M. government  funds ( i.e.  me  Money Mouth   )  for  a  long  long  time

    Local  council ( Cheshire  East  of  awful,  horrid  memory  )  have  stated  that  Garden  Waste  Collections  this  year  will  cease  week-ending  4th  Dec,  and  restart  in  early  February,  so  they  must  be  expecting  a  huge  growth  in  the  local  economy   Smile

    Touch of Ground Frost this morning Lovely clear air when I took the dog for his morning walk.  Visited a couple of forums for a couple of minutes during coffee. Spent around 2 hours in the upper flower bed clearing summer bedding, and turning the soil over. Then had a family visit where we all met up at one of my daughters house. Returned home in time to take the dog for his mid afternoon walk. then  popped on here for a couple of minutes before enjoying a read of my new E book.

    A very enjoyable day 

    Cheers K

    I have always used the three devils on blank posts, since blank pages first appeared. As far as I know I have not previously caused an error to occur. Apologises if it was I. I suspect its this site

    We went down to Hive Beach, near Bridport, this morning, had a lovely seat in the cafe gazing out to sea, nice big mug of coffee and a stroll along the shore. Very foggy again inland and getting a bit chilly tonight. Just heard daughter's school trip bus
    to London has broken down in Chelsea, this always seems to happen. A bus full of teenagers to keep out of mischief! Wink

    Yes, it's the one behind the high street. The one at the top of Droskyn is also free now but roadworks on the hill mean a roundabout route to get there. The beach car park, run privately, is still charging.

    We were actually at Par Sands, or nearby, yesterday. Walked from Charlestown and back with the dogs and a picnic lunch at the charmingly named Spit Point ( according to the OS map), nice stretch of coastline but had to walk along the edge of the golf course
    as dogs not made welcome on Carlton Bay! Sad
