And a good day to all 'Lungies' 😉

On 1st April - no more shielding- FULL OF GLEE AND DETERMINATION I'm going to run down the High Street and chucking my cane, jumper, blouse and skirt and heading for the sea!! YIPPEE !! I'm FREE.....🤪🤯🥳🤡🙈🙉🙊💯👋

[sassy59]

Good for you Bev. Hope things warm up a bit for you. 😂 I’ll be thinking of you on 1st April. 👍

Love the picture. Pete and I will be listening out for the squeals when you dip your toe etc. in the water. Xxx😂😂😂😷😱☀️🌻👍

[Gingerapple in reply to sassy59]

🤣🤣🤣Thank you Carole! No toe, I'm diving right in! 👍🏾😁🤣🥳

[sassy59 in reply to Gingerapple]

You have my admiration. 🤣🥶👍🤞🏼xxx

[Gingerapple in reply to sassy59]

😁🤗🥳🌹

[Snackjack]

You sound so happy, good for you, go for it but do be careful. xxx👍👍🏵️🌼

[Gingerapple in reply to Snackjack]

😁I'm not that careful, I'm going for the big FREEZE !!🤣

[Snackjack in reply to Gingerapple]

So long as you enjoy yourself. xx

[Gingerapple in reply to Snackjack]

Partial freedom, Snackjack, just a joke really, been shielding 14 months and miss my family, as so many of us😔👍🏾🤗🌹😘

[Yatzy]

Can I come too???😂 Sounds great!

Though not risking too much till after vaccine 2 myself. Enjoy 🌼🌺🌻☀️ xx

[Gingerapple in reply to Yatzy]

Hey, yes of course! Well, my 2nd shot is 3rd April, but I'm off!!🤣😁 14 months 🤪👋🌹

[Gingerapple in reply to Yatzy]

How are you, anyway? Long time no hear my friend?🤗😘🌹

[Yatzy in reply to Gingerapple]

Ready for a rush to the coast, like you 😂 Lockdown’s been sooo awful, especially the last winter! So lonely! Once Wales puts up its barriers, I’ll be off...🌈🏄🏻‍♀️🏊‍♀️🤾🏼‍♀️🤸‍♂️🌊☃️☀️

Might overtake you, yet!

Hoping you’re doing well otherwise, Bev? Love 🤗🥰 🌻

[Gingerapple in reply to Yatzy]

Ah yes, I'll meet you in Wales!👍🏾☀️⛱😁A very exhausting lockdown this time, I thought I might be losing it😳😔I'm doing 50-50 thank you. 'They' have found new 'things' so, tests😬We shall see🤞🙏🏽I'm glad you're well, let's meet at the beach😉😁It's a beautiful day today but I'm heading off to the dentist soon😬😉😁Loads of love and health to you!😘😘🌹

[Yatzy in reply to Gingerapple]

We’ll catch up soon, just trying to find opening date for Welsh beaches for the saesnegs......got to get out there soon, sun on my face, breeze in my hair 😯😘

[Gingerapple in reply to Yatzy]

We will, but I'm not a 'walker' anymore so we'd probably never meet in Wales, I was dreaming of the sun and sea, where I can sit but never walk anywhere, those days are gone, but I love the sea. When I fly abroad I always book something where the sea is right in front of me. 🤗😊Enjoy yourself soon🤗😘

[CDPO16]

😀 I think that you may be running back out of the sea and hurriedly putting all those clothes back on again! Maybe dip a toe as sassy said. Enjoy whatever you do. Take care xx

[Gingerapple in reply to CDPO16]

Thank you! But I'm going for the Full Monty!!🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Gingerapple in reply to CDPO16]

👍🏾😘🌹🌹🌹🌹

[Snowdrops_17]

Sounds great Gingerapple 😂 but keep your socks on 😂😂😂😂🏊🏃🧣🎽🩱👒

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

🤣🤣🤣I'll be in my birthday suit, but, ok, I'll keep my socks 🧦on!👍🏾🤣🤣👋😁

[teenieleek in reply to Gingerapple]

You’ll be in your birthday suit, I’ll be having a birthday (a big scary number) so hope we both enjoy the day.

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to teenieleek]

Happy birthday when it comes teenieleek 🎂

[Gingerapple in reply to teenieleek]

When is your Birthday, teenieleek?🤔😘

[HungryHufflepuff]

I absolutely love the picture 😹 Thank you dear Spicy Other Bev. And I love the image in my mind ofyou running free to the sea. 🌌 The sky’s the limit. Wishing you every happiness 🐑

[Gingerapple in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Ah Hufflepuff, the sky's the limit, it'll be a sight for sore eyes methinks 🤣🤣😘😘🐑🐑

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Gingerapple]

So long as you’re happy, it’ll look beautiful to you (and to us!)

[Gingerapple in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

😄Thank you for your support Hufflepuff I shall think of you!😄😘🥰🥰

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Really? 😂😱 Oh sugar hahahaha 😂🤣😂 THINK WE NEED PROOF THEN

GINGERAPPLE 🧣🎽👒🏊🌊

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

😁Haha Snowdrops,It was just a joke, I wanted people to imagine naked women running down the high street, casting aside their canes, ripping off their clothes and heading to the waters!😁😄😄🤣

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

It was funny thou 🤣😂😂

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

I'm glad you found it funny, some of our loveliest here thought O was serious, perhaps my humour is not funny🤔👍🏾Have a gorgeous day lovely sun today ☀️⛱😘

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Haha well we could try cold water dipping Gingerapple 😂🤣🤣🌊😱🎽🏊

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

We could! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏾I hope you're doing good and you have your test results back and great news!?😘🥰🌹❤

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Yes good news 👍👍👍🤗 I am in the clear thank goodness 😁😁😁😘

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

🥳🥳🥳🎊🎉🎈🎈I am so happy for you👍🏾🥰🌹❤❤

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Tell you heard that stone out my heart falling Gingerapple! Felt so relieved, I laughed and cried at the same time! Rung my sister and daughter quickly that evening! They were equally happy and relieved!,🌷🥀❤️🎊

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

I bet!!🥰I know that feeling!! It's such a mind blowing feeling to feel free and you can move around and sleep without those nagging thoughts constantly 🎊🎉🌹☀️🕊🥰

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Felt quite depressed at times and last week went in my garden to cut down the dead plants and tidy Garden up! I had to put it in a draw back of my mind! It worked half the time! 👍🤗

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

I know how it feels, I'm going through the same. We shall see. Big hugs for you, Snowdrops🤗🤗🌹🥰

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Hugs and lots of love back to you! I know you're not having an easy time Gingerapple; 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

By the way:

" No funny business Gingerapple 😉😆 right?" 😘

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

I lived in North Germany for 4 years! We went to the coast and they had an outdoor swimming pool! Not too bad but it took some doing, it was colder then indoor swimming pool for sure 😂😂😂🌊🏊 but did warm up when you swam 🤗👍

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

Ah, how interesting, I lived in North Germany, Kiel and Hamburg, Bremen, West Berlin and in Düsseldorf and Cologne, NRW over 30 years!🤗I always went swimming outside and to the gyms and to the many spas !😎👍🏾🥰🌹

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

It's different there, more outside swimming pools which is nice and would stop the rush to the beaches here in UK! And they could regulate the time and number of people entering now! Pity we don't have many outdoor swimming pools here 🌊🏊

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

Yes it is! I always enjoyed going in the summer, it was great! A sandwich and something to drink, I could spend 3 or 4 hours there🤿😊

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Well and outdoor swimming pools could provide jobs too! I would love that! Perfect job 👍❤️🤗

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

Yes, especially lifeguards, as they have in Germany😊👍🏾

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Good in swimming me, and certainly would know what to do to save someone if in trouble! Learned some of that in a private sports school I attended for 3 years! Was a tough course! But valuable knowledge! Also done NVQ 2 in Beauty Therapy and you do learn a lot about anaphylactic shock and Contra indications for treatments! Also worked in care! Think I have good qualities to show for 😁😁😁😁👍

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Anyway a little swimming pool in the garden, provided you have one, you could always dip your toes in it Gingerapple! 👍🌊😂

[Gingerapple in reply to Snowdrops_17]

I have a little pool for the garden, it's quite big, the pool, so it's great when we have a good summer!☀️☀️🌝

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Gingerapple]

Cool 👍❤️

[chubby2x22]

Braver than me, fab sun today sea rolling in but the east coast wind will never change. Good luck bev. Jane

[Gingerapple in reply to chubby2x22]

Was only meant as a joke, Jane, I couldn't run anywhere😁😆😅❤

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to chubby2x22]

She's definitely joking chubby 🤣🤣 but yeah! What makes me laugh the soonest the sun comes out you see young men in T-shirts and shorts👕🩳! Even older ones do it 😂👍

I stick to my trouser or jeans rather! If it's really getting warm then yes, don't like perspiring if I don't need to! Feels a bit cool here today 👍😂

[Izb1]

Love the look of your happy family, all soooo happy and smiling but what is the cat doing in the background?? I dread to ask lol. Well Bev I cheer you on doing a skinny dip in the sea amd suggest you take your oxygen ha! Good luck x

[Gingerapple in reply to Izb1]

Do you mean the cat sitting on the toilet seat?🤔It seems he may be planning some mischief or other or is the instigator?🤔😁😅🤣😘❤🌹

[Izb1 in reply to Gingerapple]

I did wonder if it was a toilet but seemed far too low to get on and off , or is it an animal toilet lol 🤣🤣 . Hope you enjoyed your dip yesterday x

[Gingerapple in reply to Izb1]

Noooo! You're right, it is his cat litter box🤣🤣🤣, oh dear! Such fun😅Tongue in cheek😊🥰

[Alberta56]

Sooner you than me- it sounds so coooold.xxx

[Gingerapple in reply to Alberta56]

😁Just my gallows humour, Alberta 🤪😁😊❤

[teenieleek]

I thought you meant it! I’m not usually so gullible.. Do it in your mind tomorrow and I’ll join you, jiggly bits and all.
