Post Comment Love 4 - 6 August 2017

Hello there and welcome to another Post Comment Love.  If you were here last week it was great to see you and if you're new here this week welcome. A few weeks ago I said I wasn't sure what day it was and well this week after a few days away it's safe to say I'm even more confused than I was then. I was back at work yesterday and that felt like Monday. There's definite advantages to discovering what you thought was Monday is actually Thursday, but it's not so great time wise when you've already a growing to do list. So once again I'll be playing catch-up again - so please bear with me!

We did have a great few days away in the beautiful Suffolk countryside and it was much needed. We were lucky - mostly - with the weather, even managing a twenty mile cycle into the nearest town of Framlingham where I spied another contender for a future loo series, so watch out for that next week, I hope. We thought we'd take advantage of the sun that afternoon and take a bottle of wine with us for our picnic in the vineyard where we were staying. The sun was fed up of playing by then and it wasn't long before we gave up and were back in the cottage with a cup of coffee instead!

Bloggers Showcase: Rachel from Wheelz and Wearing Heels

The aim of Rachel's blog - Wheelz and Wearing Heels - is to raise awareness of cerebral palsy and chronic illness, and she also writes about beauty, fashion and lifestyle too and admits to being a stationery addict (nothing wrong with that I say!).  She says finds it difficult attracting people to her content and so finds herself on social media 24/7, which is where she found our #BloggerShowcase questions, and the three words she uses to describe herself are independent, granny and hilarious, so it's definitely worthwhile popping over to Morgan's blog and find out more about Rachel, but first don't forget to connect with Rachel on social media:

Post Comment Love 28 - 30 July 2017

Hello there and welcome to another #PoCoLo and of course Friyay!  I've been looking forward to it all week as I've a few days off coming up and am hoping to get out on my bike and finally shake off this summer cold I've got. I think summer colds are the worst.  But I digress, if you were here last week, thank you, it was great to see you and if you're new here this week *hello* it's lovely to have you along, and both Morgan and I hope you'll find some cracking blog posts to read, and come back again next week!

We spent last weekend in Norfolk and it's true we never leave empty handed, this time with lots of marrows from dad's garden. The option was did we want those three or these three, so we chose three! But in my forgetfulness I forgot to bring the banana chilli plant I bought at a roadside shack home, so dad is growing double the amount of banana chillies he expected too.  Pop back on Sunday to see my marrow acquisition, now that's an offer you won't get everyday is it?

I've spent this week trying to get ahead of myself for next week, both at work and at home, and making slow progress, which given that my head feels like it's full of cotton wool - that's was a summer cold does! There's lists to make and things to pack and the greenhouse to sort out. Now that things have finally started growing... And an allotment to visit and check on, but given the weather the past few days I'm hopeful that it will be better placed to managed without us for a few days. 

This week's photo isn't from my garden (sadly), but from our recent visit to RHS Hyde Hall in Essex - the flowers look fit to burst don't they?

Could you be one of our future Bloggers Showcase?

Sadly we don't have someone to feature this week as the blogger we had lined up appears to have stopped blogging. Our list is growing, and stretches to the middle of October, which is awesome, but Morgan and I would love to feature you, especially if you already link up with us. There's no time limit on how long you need to have been blogging for, it's open to everyone. All you need to do is tell us a bit about yourself by answering our #PoCoLo questions and send them over to us. 

Here's the questions:

Post Comment Love 21 - 23 July 2017

Hello there and welcome to another #PoCoLo - if you were here last week it was good to see you, and I'm looking forward to catching up on all your posts. If you're new here this week, welcome, I'm pretty sure you're going to find some great posts and meet some friendly bloggers. Whenever you link up don't forget to tag Morgan and I in your tweets, and we'll happily retweet them, and if Friday's don't work for you then the linky is open until 11pm on Sunday evening.

It was another relaxing weekend here last weekend after a bit of a shocking week and it was nice to kick back and wander around Greenwich, even though I now go there every day for work. In fact I don't think I've ever been to Greenwich quite so much. I already know that it's a great place to people watch and on Saturday we sat and watched hundreds of WRNS being corralled for a photo to celebrate a hundred years at the Old Royal Naval College. 

We went for brunch, ate too much then walked and walked. MOH led us in the direction of a bike shop - and yesterday he collected a new bike, while my ulterior motive was to head towards the Queen's Orchard in Greenwich Park. We were lucky, it was open and you can see more of what's behind the ornate gate as that's the post I've linked up this week.

My photo though is from our visit to Gravetye Manor at the start of May. This week I was drawn to this picture of succulents with a view. Couldn't you just sit there and drink it all in, clearly a glass of fizz would help, but when doesn't it?

Blogger Showcase: Emma from Our Fairytale Adventure

Emma writes the parenting blog Our Fairytale Adventure and along with her family are intent on travelling as much as they can over the next eighteen months before her eldest starts school. One of the three words she uses to describe herself is fiery - great word - but there's also compassionate in the mix too.  And I think I'm going to join her for an autumn evening, just as long as there's tea and cake.

Do pop over to Morgan's blog to find out more about Emma, but don't forget to connect with her on social media first:
