Good for you, Maz :-) :-) :-) I hope you have really enjoyed your 'me time' :-) :-)

It was much cooler and breezy last night. The drop in temperature woke me,

I'd neglected to close the window.

Although the thermometer does say it touched the 30’s today, it’s now dropped down to the mid 20’s. At one point we did think it might rain, not that anything came of it.
As Maz has mentioned for today, the rest of the week will be cardigan weather!

Enjoy tomorrow’s outing, Ann. Even if it’s hot outside, the coach will probably have air con.

We did go out for coffee to the Mall & to pick up a few bits. It was strangely empty for a weekday :-S

I am glad it has dropped down ,but do not want it to go cold either .I am at work tomorrow again then doing lunch at church on weds .
Not long before my break now a month and I will be in the south .

Evening all, only just managed to get on here, the internet decided to play silly beggars after the power cut off yet again :-|.

Evening LG - you seem to have power cuts rather frequently. It sounds as if the infrastructure needs updating. :-0

It's cos they have built too many bloomin new houses in the village I think. They are forever digging up the roads because of it :-| :-| :-| :-|

That one of the problems of all these new build estates - profit before infrastructure. :-(

Too right it is hell to get dentist or doctors appointments, all the schools are too full and the parking is getting a nightmare. We have gone from a quiet village (as Ann will second me on) to being almost joined up with 2 others.

Rant over for now
:-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh dear, LG :-( They sound like our council who are obsessed with increasing roof count because they want to get city status.

There is a beautiful, huge man made lake near where \ work with lovely walks round it and a small beach at one corner. The council have now given planning permission for some houses to be built on some spare ground just behind the beach, yet there is no picnic area for any relaxation area. There is a leisure complex nearby with a Premier inn, pub, cinema, bowling alley and a restaurant, then a large Asda just across from there. One piece of grassland remaining and it is now being built on, with a Burger King, Dipping Donuts, and pub!! No-one seemed to know it was happening until the building started.

We are just door to door houses. Actually more like shoeboxes or cowsheds :-| :-| :-|

They build them like shoe boxes now, with as little space between them as possible and cram in as many as they can. No thought for all the extra traffic it is going to create in an already congested road network..

They also are building loads of 4 plus bedroomed places that anyone wanting to get on the property ladder cannot afford.

Ages since we were in the area LG where are the new houses and which villages are you joined up with? Henlow?

Where R lives, they are building on old agricultural land that was owned by the railways. It is going to be a massive estate eventually, but just down from his close, they are building a lot of smaller houses. i think it is a 10 year plan, but goodness knows how we will cope with all the extra traffic that will be on there eventually. I am hoping that most of it will go to the new road that connects with the motorway.

They have built loads along the Shefford Road at Clifton Fields area. New road is completely filling in at the top end near the Admiral. Stockbridge road near the old council pit there are about 25. Loads in Shefford all behind the lower school and right down behind the by pass. Henlow is now unrecognisable it is completely ruined with loads more being built up the Clifton Road.
The parking in Henlow is horrendous and I try to avoid the High Street at all costs.
They built the by pass here but lots of people still use the village streets

I'm loving you and leaving you now, LG :-) The bedroom is cool at long last and I am looking forward to a decent sleep :-) :-) :-)

I hope you sleep well too :-) <3

It is a lot cooler this evening so hopefully a good nights sleep for a change. Catch you tomorrow, nite nite YG <3
