What a beautiful morning, right every body it's a bank holiday, we know that Peege is possible going up to her knees in the pool today and that Lyn just might be going over for a BBQ by the heated pool, but what about the rest of us what are we going to do, if travel is not a problem where would you all like to go just for the day, come on lets dream a little. I am off on a trip in the shuttle so that I can experience just what its like to be weightless and most of all see the world from up there in space, I have hired it and at the moment there is just the crew and I so if anyone else would like to come along just shout, if not where are you off to for the day.?
The village blacksmith was getting old and finding the work a bit to much with all the lifting and hammering so he put an advert out for an apprentice, being a village there was only one applicant and that was the big blonde lad who was a little slow, but the blacksmith thought better him than no body. The old man was a bit crabby and exacting "Don't ask me a load of questions right " he told the blonde lad, "Just do what ever I tell you to do right."
Later that day the old man took a large iron bar out of the forge and laid it on the anvil "Get that big hammer from over there" he said to the blonde lad, "And when I nod my head hit it as hard as you can right".
There is now an advert for a new village blacksmith in today's paper.
Everyone I hope the sun is shining where ever you are, and you are able to enjoy the day. xxx Fred

I'm on board already waiting for the take off, just preparing some food n drink. What a lovely day we can have with the sun coming through. Fancy dress will be fine.x
Morning Suzy(W) shame I was hoping you would come, but fair enough love you go off for flight in your Spitfire its on the runway ready for you, carry on twittering lol. xxx Fred
Good joke, lol . I am just waiting for someone to open the shuttle door for me, and have some veggie food, cameras and music. Ooops forgot to mention I have Felix along with me too as he loves travelling. Looking forward to our outing. lol
Right you are Huggs its alright to bring Felix onboard as long as you think he will be alright floating around, you better feed him before we blast off. Welcome aboard xxx
Kracker enjoy your day and be careful at the gym seeing you are making the effort (or male as you said )lol take is easy love do not go to mad. See you on our next trip . xxx
Oh that's great I thought you were going to be busy, do you want a window seat ? while we are up there seeing we are day dreaming we are able to pop over and see mars if anyone fancies as we can do anything we want and go anywhere we want, all aboard if your coming. xxx
I expect there will be some shops open as seeing its a bank holiday I expect it will be rather busy, I was thinking about a detour to the moon to see if it really is a great big lump of cheese. There will be plenty of room on board as at the moment there are only a few of us going, last call for outer space leaving any moment now, countdown starting 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 now that was an experience I had not had before what about you, but at least we are on our way. xxx
Ahh Fred what memories you started me of on, going to Shieldhill near Inverberbie Scotland to collect the Gulls eggs for baking,Not allowed now I should think,but when on your shuttle thingy can you make a detour and not only will you be doing me a favour you would be seeing the most wonderfull scenery God created xxx
No problem at all we can go anywhere your mind wants us to go, its just a case of close your eyes and your there, no health problems your just flying over that area, don't forget though we will be rather high but will have a word with Bill the pilot and see if he will swoop down a bit for you. lol xxx
Morning Fred, no, no swimming yet here. A bit busy helping my son get thing sorted for the house he's helping to renovate with his partner. They both work full time. It's not a holiday here, they always have the day off on 1st of May whenever it falls. There's also another bank holiday on Friday, VE Day. I'll be going home that day.
I'm staying with Williams lovely mum in law in Aubagne which is the home of the Foreign Legion. Last Friday was a big commemoration day for them at the HQ just down the road to remember the many Legionaires who fought to the end 150 or so years ago in Mexico. Aubagne is 15 minutes north east of Marseille.
Anyway, it's a bit overcast today. We're off to walk at Les Lac, a lovely beach near Bandol half an hour away before starting the chores.
Yesterday we walked down to the Sunday market. A wonderfully colourful affair of fresh fruit, veg, hundreds of cheeses, cured sausage & meats, the meat stall had pigeon, rabbit, guinea foul as well as the usual. Everything was beautifully displayed. I bought 750 grammer of local haricot beans for £7!!! I don't know how they can afford to eat.
Peege move over I might join you after we get back from space, that market sounds just up my street as they say, all those cheeses and sausages, enough my mouth is watering already.
I visited Marseille many years ago infact rather to many to talk about really, it was when the ship I served on at the time did a tour of the Med. Dont you go mad with the help steady as you go love. Hope the weather stays fine for you all, Speak later love Fred xxx
polly yes love we are daft but its great to dream and you never know one day we just all might get together and have a laugh at this. You take it easy and let your lovely daughter help you and it will be good to see you grandson, now go find that sheltered sun spot. Love Fred xxx
Getting together would be wonderful, something to look forward to.
polly xx
Morning Fred - I do so enjoy your posts & jokes - long may they continue . Hope you enjoy your flight of fancy today - don't forget to bring back the sticks of Rock !!!! I am off out this afternoon but nowhere as exotic . I live in Pembrokeshire almost on the coast & it's a lovely part to live in ? Later I am gong to see a friend who sadly lost her husband last June with COPD - he was chairman of our local BreatheEasy Group . She has recently taken in a cat from a Rescue Centre so I am going to give him my approval. Enjoy your day &,as they say in Wales- "Sit tidy "😘 Love Helen.xx
High Helen good to hear from you, enjoy you visit with your friend and hope the cat is up to your approval , as for a stick of rock , maybe not a stick but a lump no problem. Stay save and keep smiling. Love Fred xxx

Hi Fred! Have you got any spaces left cos I'd love to join you on your trip ✈️. Mars sounds a good place to go and, like Lyn, I'll have my purse with me - can't resist a bit of retail therapy. Just don't go without me 👛👛. Jan xx 😀😀
Right Jan get your coat on, be with you as soon as I work out just were you are, well don't forget your purse. What are those two bits before your name ? xxx Fred
Morning Fred. Too scared of space travel so I'm going back in time. To a little wild bluebell garden on our farm where I picnicked with my siblings and our parents many moons ago. We children prepared days beforehand hauling stuff to the picnic site. We always lit a fire to roast potatoes and we cooked sausages, chops, eggs, toast, in fact anything we children could raid out of the larder. (Early BBQ!) Our parents only ever joined us once a year so it was very special day. That little garden is still there and still as wild, although today it is classed as a protected 'Fort.' It is still owned by the family but alas the sea separates me today. Hope you all enjoy your space mission and don't meet any unfriendly aliens! Loved the joke.
Sara light a fire then we will know just where you are and will wave but you will not be able to see us but we will be that bright light in the sky above you watching that you are safe. Keep travelling back its lovely. xxx Fred
Not a bad day here Fred but I have missed the boat again (or shuttle whichever you prefer) so will just stay home then. Have been to Sainsbury's (other stores are of course available and open) with daughter Louise and grandson Jack and that was good. We had coffee but were very good and didn't have any cake. Us girls have to look after our figures and Jack didn't fancy anything.
Hope you are having a good day and are keeping well. Loved the joke as always.
Hi Carole we missed you on the Shuttle thought we saw you, Louise and Jack but were not sure, I am certain you could have managed a small cake. Pleased you had a good day xxx
Morning Fred, All kitted up. And ready to go,corkscrew,nibbles,glasses all in the hamper, Will purchase champagne on the way to pick up the shuttle, See you soon,loved the blacksmith joke, Regards, Bulpit
There was a seat with your name on it our little kiwichick, but will have to give you plenty of warning next time, hope all is going well for you all. Stay safe xxx
