We are on the mend still ....never known something to hang around like it has ... We did test for covid a few times but all negative never having had it before I thought maybe it was but nope ... At least the worst is over... It was beautiful here yesterday today is a proper wash out ....Happy new year to and yours 🩷🧡💛

[leo60 in reply to Blackbird8]

Hi BB, I was the same, tested myself three times, didn't think I could feel so bad unless it was Covid!

Happy new year to you, Laurie xx

Looks like the cloud came just for this purpose BB lol. Glad to hear you are on the mend. My daughter came up overnight just before xmas and picked up a bug on the way home, they have been really knocked of their feet with it, think it must be a new strain doing the rounds. Think the UK must be water logged with all the rain we have had x

[Blackbird8 in reply to Izb1]

I must admit this one knocked me completely... I get colds and normally still do my thing etc and not bother with them much ... Everywhere is definitely washed up in the rain the forest is incredible at the moment we are having to be careful walking as we have found a few areas where the ground is that soft it's moving around like a trampoline and that's not funny they have a name for it but I forget what it is 🤣 ...

I hope your daughters mending well 💚💚

They are known as sink holes ....

[Mellywelly]
