Post Comment Love 12 - 14 June

Hello there, welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

I’m just back from ten or so days in France, and it was wonderful. We travelled to Angers and Tours in the Loire by train and it was really easy, and a lot less hanging around than in an airport. We’d built in an overnight stop in Paris on each journey, as well, why not. We also crammed a lot in, which means a whole new pile of photos to edit and stories to share - and we saw quite a few gardens along the way.

But that’s all for another day, instead I’ll share a poster for a music festival which caught my eye as we walked along the banks of the Loire. I’m not a festival goer, but I loved this poster!

Have a good week.

It was my birthday last week and we headed into Newark to try a new to us steak restaurant which we’d heard good things about. I do love a good steak, so my birthday celebrations almost always involve steak in some way - and it was great to find a fantastic steakhouse so close to home, which is not only closer, but also better value than a trip down to London.

We got there early to check out the pub downstairs, which we’d also not made it along to until then. That too got the thumbs up from us, and I especially loved the decor with the walls full of murals, this one was my view for our pre-dinner drink. I love the orchid on the fireplace too!

Have a great week.

Well in shocking news it didn’t rain on the bank holiday, and the forecasts were correct. It was hot, record breakingly hot. We spent the weekend hosting family, and being in the garden using the barbecue was absolutely fabulous. It was warm but not uncomfortably so, that came as the bank holiday drew on and the following day, which was unbearably warm even indoors.

And then came the storm, which I’m sure at some point included hailstones. It rumbled on for a bit, the new road through the village seemed to foam a bit at its first introduction to heavy rain, but thankfully the gutters were able to deal with the deluge.

It’s a strange old world though isn’t it, today as I write this it’s 10 degrees cooler than it has been - and yet, that temperature is what we’d usually refer to as hot!

Have a great week.
