It is a day like today that makes you glad that you are alive.
Just been for a short 2 mile walk down a local country lane. The sun was shining, it was warm, the gentlest of breeze with only a few fluffy clouds in the sky.
The bluebells are at their best, their perfume heady. Even came across a whitebell in their midst. Strawberry plants blooming, cobnut hedgerow bursting forth in bright green plumage, dandelions, cow parsley and a whole array of other plants whose name I know not.
Accompanied by birdsong of many tunes it really was a glorious stroll totally pointless, but nonetheless spiritually uplifting.

If you hear about the sort of damage that's been done to various crops by the recent air frost, here's a picture from our garden of the grapevine damage. I mentioned it a couple of days ago but was it was on the news today. Much the same in parts of France.

That sure is badly damaged! Hope mine at home isn't as bad.
I rather pointlessly tried to resist buying when we visited a lovely nursery yesterday. Limited myself to a three cornered leek ( reminder of Cornwall) and a Miss Wilmotts Ghost, just in case my seeds fail to come through!
The big test is tomorrow, going home via a truly lovely nursery. Will I limit to just the two roses........or not!

Its grey and damp here. We desperately need rain but the current damp is almost pointless.
After a few weeks of working properly on this delightful upgraded site my Kindle has gone back to eating the words as I type! Have they done something else that's pointless????????????

Slow on my android Samsung but not eating words. It's very strange to watch as you see the letter you type appear, type the next and the previous one disappears 😲 press the space bar and whole word goes. If you dont look and i wasnt to begin with you glance up at what youve written and find theres only a few words. You then question yourself eg did i really type that or was i thinking it! Unnerving

it's a grey miserable day here in South London so we put our winter coats on and took the Dog's for walk on Wimbledon Common which is very local to us. Hope the weather picks up over the next 2 weeks for when we take the Caravan to Salisbury Hiilside site.
Anyone been there, I understand it's very remote and peaceful.

Well, reading about some of the weather folks have been getting this week, we have been very lucky. We did a huge drive circuit across the Moors this afternoon, and I have never ever seen it so dry. All the streams are very low, not much running off peat uplands, and it has a parched look to it where the new heather and other plants are yet to bud up. It's not bone dry all over, but you can walk onto Moors away from paths... normally you get covered in black gloopy peat!
We saw the loveliest little black lambs all pinging around near Hutton le Hole as well, some were really tiny, not sure what they were. Not Herdwicks, as they were jet black, but had Herdwick like horns.

Got up late early this morning. Worked hard at doing nothing with the benefit that it was all tax free apart from the tenner Mrs One purloined from my wallet. Baby sat the twins, read them some books and they fell asleep just prior to me dropping off. Cooked supper and now contemplating whether profiteroles would bring a bit of a moorish end to a satisfying day

Well it's taken all day for me to achieve something constructive, if you can call it constructive? I have finally managed to add photos to a story about adding photos to stories following David Klyne's and a staff post on a story without photos. I had commented on the story concerned about it not being easy to post photos. I feel I was set a challenge and I rose to it and I succeeded. But the effort involved means I may never do it again.
If you want to see photos of the inside of a supermarket in Hamilton New Zealand check out the story but you'll have to read the comments to find the photos 😉
I'm off to bed now to recover! I had had a very chilled/lazy day after routine chores knitting in the conservatory, I reckon if I'd had a proper day I wouldn't have attempted or completed the exercise. I fear I'd have said naughty words or chucked the equipment 😤

I think a full time job would be easier and there's pay! I doubt very much that I'll post a photo again on here, but I felt that maybe it was just me saying it was difficult as David Klyne's doesn't seem to think so neither did a member of staff. I have satisfied myself that it is a faff and I have not been beaten and can hold me head up high. But I don't voluntarily undertake tortuous tasks. Lesson learned 😉.
