Today’s photo is of our neighbour cutting his grass…. makes my task look simple, but the old saying ‘make hay whilst the sun shines’ seems incredibly relevant during the lock-down period. There seems to be 2 schools of thought on what to do during the lock-down, be bored, sit and worry, or use the timeContinue reading “May 7th – Make hay……”

May 6th – The garden
Well, I have only just recovered from the injuries sustained after the last post (written ages ago) about the wife’s bush, so thought I’d play it safe this time. Whilst we love travelling and being out and about, one of the things you do miss is the different plants at different times of the year.Continue reading “May 6th – The garden”
May 5th – Callie…
4 years ago this little bundle of joy arrived in our home. Being the niece of Velvet, we thought their temperament would be similar…. How wrong could we be. Callie is a very chilled dog, loves / craves attention, and is incredibly loyal. She is full of energy and is brilliant at coming back whenContinue reading “May 5th – Callie…”
May 4th – As the sun sets…
I was sat contemplating what today’s photo story would be about when ….. Ping …. An IM arrives from my lovely neighbour…. “Have a look at the sky”. Well I see why. The sun setting over the horizon this evening was amazing, with the ferocious sun against a dark sky. Each time the sun goesContinue reading “May 4th – As the sun sets…”

May 1st – Weird names
Another plant today, but why is it called a cowslip? Even with my weird imagination I can’t vision a cow slipping on a little delicate flower, so it’s back to T’internet. Most sites suggest it is derived from the old English for cow dung, known as cow slop, as they are associated with cow meadows.Continue reading “May 1st – Weird names”
April 30th – Wisteria
A few facts about wisteria
April 29th – dying fly…
If you have, or have ever owned a Flatcoat Retriever you’ll recognise this classic (certainly not classy) sleeping pose. It’s a good job our lounge is a fair size to have 2 sofas otherwise we’d be sitting on the floor. Callie is currently out for the count, and snoring her head off, but I’m sureContinue reading “April 29th – dying fly…”
April 28th – Rain
Well, today (in the UK) we had rain for the first time in ages. I took today’s picture between showers to cheer us up. Our clematis is looking lovely at the moment, despite the dreary weather. I know our friends on the farms and water companies desperately needed the rain that came today after aContinue reading “April 28th – Rain”
April 27th – Bath-time….
This little chap seems to like our new stream. He (or she), had quite a few dips this morning. We love looking at the wildlife in the garden, and the birds seem quite comfortable even with us walking around, but this is probably due to them getting huge amounts of food constantly.
