I have been warned I might not be able to run for the Race for Life. But as I told her, I will run it or I will walk it, but I will do it. She said she will help me. I wont be dressed like superman, I am going as a fairy! lol Got to see the funny side of life. Hope you are well.<br /><br />hi ya Wendy. its all to do with the mighty selfie and facebook. I tell you people with ipads up against the neighbours window glass taking pictures of their sitting room, wandering around the garden with the ipad above their head. Bizarre. Hope you are well.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-76126574256550803282016-03-22T14:13:52.730+00:002016-03-22T14:13:52.730+00:00Where has all of the decency gone in this world???...Where has all of the decency gone in this world???? I'm so sorry that you had to suffer at the hands of those complete morons!!! Oh my goodness!!! There is such a sense of entitlement. People take what they want because they think they deserve it. Such horse sh**!!!!! You got a double whammy between those fools in your garden and the fall. I hope that you (and your garden) recover quickly.

I am laughing about it as it was completely weird. <br /><br />Hi Toffeeapple, I hope you had a lovely time on Thursday.<br /><br />Hi Fliss, the ribs hurt, that is for sure. The tourists were probably really miffed off that they were supposed to be somewhere else. We have had a village email about it already. The police came this morning at 9am. lol They had already gone, obviously.<br /><br />Hi ya Ray, I am well thanks. Start a new job on Monday. I text my boss to say I have a graze on my face. I think people will just get used to me falling all over the place.<br /><br />Hi Kev, there was no point in me getting crazy over it. They would probaby have run all over my new camelias at which point I would have gone crazy.<br /><br />Hey Chickpea, as I said it was just weird. We have come home to a tractor in the drive before as it broke down on the road and they limped it in there as to not obstruct the road. No problem. Tourists all over is another thing all together.<br /><br />I love a good swear, but with foreigners if probably wouldnt have worked very well and the Americans that were their would probably have dropped down dead if I said what I really thought when I saw they had ripped all of the flowers up.<br /><br />If someone had been looking over my 6 foot fence, for sure I think they would be up to no good. Especially with all the people stealing dogs and cats.<br /><br />Hope everyone is well.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-1675361574265966282016-03-20T09:29:29.029+00:002016-03-20T09:29:29.029+00:00Crikey, must have been like the paparazzi camped o...Crikey, must have been like the paparazzi camped out in the garden! I would have been fuming, I happened to be in the garden one day way a face popped up over the 6 foot fence to have a look in my garden, expletives followed him as he ran away :) Hope the bruising heals soon, must be flipping painful.Chickpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010543012720394937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-60271850543561176462016-03-20T07:50:04.789+00:002016-03-20T07:50:04.789+00:00That would wind me up no end.

A couple of months ago, I cracked a couple of ribs which was painful enough, but then a week or so later I slipped and bashed them again. That pain was much, much worse - and that was only the ribs. Thank goodness you have youth on your side, doesn't make you hurt less, but hopefully will help you to heal.<br /><br />As to the tourists - truly shocking! I know how twitchy we get when people peer across the barley field, but to have them come into the grounds, pick flowers and take such an attitude.. Did they leave their good manners behind on the coach, or at home, perhaps. I'm glad you were able to laugh.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461759848289268517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-16030677350014893322016-03-20T00:25:48.817+00:002016-03-20T00:25:48.817+00:00We were in the Cotswolds on Thursday and it was a ...We were in the Cotswolds on Thursday and it was a wonderful day in beautiful countryside, with added pubs and delicious food.

A...Hey Patricia, Thanks, the bruises will go down. And I am laughing about it now, but when we came home I was quite shocked. Like you said, they seemed to have a sense of entitlement. As in "we are bringing money to your country, by being tourists". Anything for a Facebook picture now a days isnt it. There wont be a next time. High electric gates and walls will keep them out. It was all rather Walking Dead really, you asked them what they were doing and they carried on. Didnt even apologise. one even said "well what do you expect living in area like this". We arent a tourist hotspot there is nothing in the village, not even a shop. <br /><br />The farmer suggested a big dog.
