ubereglu Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I've had a few days where I've just been knackered. I ended up going to bed on Sunday at 9.45pm and about 10.15 last night!!! Much more awake today though...AND I have 4 leek shoots now and also a sweet pea too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 ab fab summer hols are easier with kids etc.. Millhouses Park? Padley Gorge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 [Padley Gorge? There's a blast from the past We spent nearly every Summer weekend at Padley Gorge playing in the water there I can't for the life think where Padley Gorge is (Derbyshire ) but I loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 ...and I know Millhouses park Both in Derbyshire I think Ali - never heard of Padley Gorge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Padley Gorge is in Derbyshire between Sheffield and Grindleford. Fantastic for children to paddle and build dams etc. The world and his wife are there at the w/e and during school hols ...but if you go at other times it is a lovely walk. Millhouses Park is in Sheffield (I live less than 5 mins away) and is a pleasant park with a superb cafe....again heaving at the w/e etc. Padley Gorge Padley Chapel is famous locally as it commemorates two of the English Martyrs, Nicholas Garlic and Robert Ludlam who were two priests caught in a hideyhole during the Reformation and were hanged drawn and quartered. There is a lovely walk to the chapel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I must be thinking of somewhere different Egluntine - I can picture it and thought it was called Millhouses - but obviously not - I'll have to go and look at the map now Lovely photos - I think we'll have to visit Padley Gorge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) I'm thinking of Milldale - near Hope, at the start of Dovedale It's nice there as well Edited April 4, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Maria, I've had two days of vegging around (mainly because I've been a bit poorly) and today my plan was to get up early and get organised. House is a disaster and I really need to get motivated. I'm still sat here reading the forum and it's past 10am now. There's just no hope is there. Will have some breakfast, dive in the shower and I might ask Kate if I can borrow her superpants. That should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm with most of you on the being knackered of late. Working all week with a heavy cold (no not Man Flu ) - had a course last week that sent me to Heathrow's runway (well the hotel was at the end of it!) and into Uxbridge and then back home and back to work. Thankfully, my rota has been changed as I now have to work every other weekend so I get a day off in the week - and today is my first mid week day off in ages. Gina, I had loads of plans to get so many things done but was ruthless with myself to get up when Joe was getting ready for work, and shower and dress then else I'd still be loafing around in my dressing gown So! must go to the garden centre for more plants and wood chippings for the garden, sort the caravan out for the weekend, walk the dog, meet for coffee with a mate and drop the cleaners money off and washing and ironing to do......oh and one other thing.........now what was it......... Oh yes, I know, measure up for the Cube!! A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My list of jobs to do is sooooooooooooooooo long I don't know where to start I HAVE to get organised today as the builders arrive on Tuesday and we're going to Jimmy's at the weekend. Probably would help if I wasn't sitting here...................must go............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I really need to get off the forum too... We've been decorating all week and the house is a disaster which i'm supposed to be sorting out today. Can i be bothered Can i heck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
