Well found Daisy - Thank you x

It looks like he just fell out of bed and grabbed whatever was to hand ....
Good to see Jo was with it !

Georgia must have actually worked during the cruise - I thought she was just there on a jolly !
She always looks lovely and always so happy !

Afternoon gang


They really will write an article about anything won't they? LOL


PMSL Bless Kady. Gutted they came third! They were my winners


I'm still bloody sulking about not going on that cruise you know!

Great piccies though - thanks Daisy

I just checked Louis Smith is the guest star in Liverpool not Jay and Aliona.

thank you for posting this, he's so sweet, hope he's still dancing


thud x 10 ..... well, I've been studying the last two photos of Gio, very closely trying to decide which is the best and I think this one is ... but I may change my mind tomorrow

surely Giovanni must do a calendar this year


me too ..... don't worry afton, my thud mat is always nearby in case I come across photos like that ... then, afterwards, I can do a bit of yoga


good try jenster and it's very kind of you to volunteer, but it won't be necessary because I've had plenty of practice

Well goodness knows what happened to the link!


Sandy to the rescue! That is indeed the article I was linking to!



Best of a bad bunch is exactly how I'd describe it - but what do you expect, they're all Tories!

Saying that the Labour offering for a challenger to Mr Corbyn doesn't inspire me a great deal (and I'm not just talking about her clothes! ) - if he gets on the ballot, she doesn't stand a chance!
I strongly believe the next Labour leader should be a lady (lets face it the men haven't done terribly well in recent years!), but I'm just not sure she is the right one! Off the top of my head, I think Caroline Flint or Lisa Nandy might have been better choices.



Morning (actually I should probably say afternoon now!) Daisy!
Thank you so much once again for the lovely photos!


Afternoon Star. Absolutely anything seemingly, and more and more creative descriptions to boot, she doesn't look that fierce to me!

Wow thanks miss daisy! What a great find 😀 I love how casual Gio is in the 4th one


😂😂 poor kady!! I'm still shocked they only come third!

me too, I was going to watch it last night to see what all the fuss was about but gave up after 15 minutes and watched Brian Cox instead, during the programme he flew in the most fantastic plane at 1000 mph


I went to Hyde Park on the day of the funeral, along with thousands of other people, to watch the event on a huge screen, which was a bit hypocritical of me as I was never a fan of Diana, but just wanted to be part of the day, then I went to see the flowers outside Kensington Palace and St.James Palace and remember well the eerie silence on the street, as you said, whatever people may think of Charles, he's done a good job of bringing up his sons and I'm sure Diana would be very proud of them

Doing a Ruby here - Caroline Flint is my friend, I have known her and Phil her husband for well over 20 years.
I voted for Yvette Cooper for leader of the Labour Party and Caroline as Deputy ... I think we would be a lot better off if they had won.
We are now in chaos - and with Corbyn as Leader (nice man though he might be) we will become a protest group - you can't help anyone if you are not in power.

I think 'fierce' used in this way means really foxy or sexy looking - doesn't it ?
Just ask someone old enough to be your Granny to keep you up to date

I don't know what happened to your reply to my post anyway, of course you had to celebrate the two birthdays and am pleased to hear you've just about recovered, but are you sure you're "never drinking again"

and Daisy thanks for the new cruise pictures, always good see a more relaxed GIo

The day of the funeral I put the TV on in my bedroom very early in the morning and it was already all about Diana and the ceremony, my daughter (who was still living at home) came in and said - "For goodness sake you are not going to watch that are you ?"
She sat on the bed next to me and there we stayed all day right up until the coffin reaching it's final destination - starting off a bit sad and ending up weeping - I think the sight of those two little boys was too much and then her brother's speech etc followed by that long journey with people throwing flowers the whole way.
I am not a Royalist at all but her death was so very sad.

I think she had those boys long enough to leave a lasting impression - they both mention her at every opportunity.

We are very well connected on here, aren't we?! Caroline Flint always comes across extremely well in interviews - clear and precise when speaking but also friendly at the same time. And having just googled her, I can't believe she's 54 - I would've had her down as about 20 years younger! I do agree that we would've been much better off with Yvette and Caroline as the leadership team, the Tories have had one disaster after another in the past 12 months and if we had had a strong and stable leadership we would've been in an excellent position to capitalise on it.

Jeremy is very good at preaching the converted, going from one trade union congress or rally to another seemingly - I agree with most (if not all) he says but have we seen anything in terms of policy or attempting to transmit a message to the country at large or indeed any indication that he would be suitable for being a PM. Sadly not, I feel.

I saw this poll yesterday and even though I'm inclined not to believe any polls after last years GE disappointment, such a resounding result is very concerning with another GE looming!




I think you're right Sandy! You must be more 'down with the kids' than I am! In fairness, I genuinely think my Grandmother at the age of 77 is more up to date than I am!

That photo must have been taken either right before or after this one :

That poll is really depressing !!!!

I am very glad to see I am a very few years younger than your Grandmother

Has Georgia got more than one ring on in the last photo could be my eyes of course.

I also think Dianas influence is still very apparent even now

To my eyes too - it looks like she is wearing both not-an-engagement-rings !

Never heard it called that before


Afternoon Brian

Fierce isn't the first word that came to my mind. I shall not repeat the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it


Me too! So gutted

Kady's tweet following on from that article Sandy linked. PMSL

Yes like a not an engagement ring and a not an eternity ring whatever glad I don't appear to be seeing things.

The usual places don't often include the North of the country

Wonder if NDD knows,its The Great Yorkshire Show today till Thursday are you coming NDD

Got nothing from that Brian just a blank page, you doing a NDD

Well done Sandy for finding it

Think people have confidence in her to run the country .It takes a woman to sort out a mess

You can post them anytime Sandy but sorry the latest one is now my fave

And I won't be repeating the first thing that came into my head either...


What can I say, I've learnt from the best!


BIB - I quite agree!
Saying that, Thatcher... actually I'll not start off on that one!!
