Bank Holiday weekend plans?

[Nicos]

Just wondering what people are intending to do this Bank Holiday weekend?

looks like the weather is going to be very mixed.

I shall be mostly gardening/ start Autumn clear up when I can....and jamming/ freezing/ bottling/chutney-ing when it's wet.

Sadly it's not a BH here

Was thinking of going to our 'local' they are having a 'hog roast& music' on Sunday, and 'might', invite neighbours in for drinks n nibbles on. Monday. Or might just escape to allotment, but everyone might be there, and I don't get anything done, apart from chatting, will need to water and pick beans tho,no rain forecast till monday.

Not much for us retired peeps. Every day us the same in our world. BUT, Bank Holiday Monday happens to be our Granddaughters 8th Birthday. So there will be a party and CAAAAAKE. Happy Days

It's the Havering Show this weekend so assuming the weather is half decent we'll have a wander round that.

May not be a holiday up here but it is a Star Trek weekend on the Syfy channel (c'mon it will be raining after all). Lottie I hope it is dry over Leicester as Mr Frosty and I used to love seeing steam engines (big and small)

I am finally off on a bank holiday. So when I finish work Saturday morning, me and my dad are going to be going into town. There is a food and beet festival going on over the weekend. So we going to be having a look around and seeing what there is. Then when I come home I will go to sleep for a few hours and then have a movie night with my fella. Sunday I am going to see what I can sow and grow in the spaces that is free in my greenhouse.

My OH is working so wont be going anywhere. If it is dry might try and dig over raised beds down the bottom of the garden with my two assistants helping/hindering me. Might try and see if anywhere has any spring bulbs in yet.
Tv wise if it is raining think it could be watching Boomerang and having a Tom and Jerry and Scooby Do weekend.

Plans are to spray new plot with kurtail, if there's no breeze. If not, then I'll spend as much time as I can at the allotment. It's where I feel my heart rate drop

[Noosner]

Off to Edinburgh Fringe Festival with some mates! Mr Noosner staying at home for a much needed quite time with the dog. Back Monday. Have a great weekend everyone, whatever you are doing.

Not a bank holiday here either.
Having said that, being retired the holiday doesn't have the same impact.
For everyone else, enjoy.

Oh yeah, need to think about and make a start on new strawberry bed for next year.
