Post Comment Love 27 - 29 October 2017

Hello there and welcome to another #PoCoLo - if you were here last week it was great to see you, if you're new here then welcome - we had some great reads linked up last week, and I'm hoping for more of the same again, I know you won't disappoint me.

Once again I'm writing this post early as last night I was out in town at  Habitat on Tottenham Court Road, there's lights involved (and cocktails and some tunes) so look out for more on that soon. 

It struck me when starting out to write this post that I've taken very few photos this week, so I'm heading back to one from the greenhouse with this lovely yellow flower - a zinnia - that's looking cheery and vibrant, if not a little late flowering. 

After the drama of my car last Friday evening I have been running around to try and sort out a replacement. I was right to think it would be an expensive week - but hopefully that will calm down and I'll have wheels again.  I didn't think I was that reliant on my car, but of course it all happened when we had a busy few weekends.  I mean, when else would it happen?!

But back to the lovely yellow zinnia, and I can be calm again...

Blogger Showcase: Andolina from Lessons from a Student Mom

Andolina is a stay at home mom and a college student, hence the name of her blog - Lessons from a Student Mom - and she loves learning, which is just as well as she finds blogging a never-ending learning experience. I think she's right when she says there's unlikely to be another industry has a community that is more focused on community growth, rather than personal growth.

You can read Andolina's full answers over on Morgan's blog this week, so do pop over and take a look. And don't forget to connect with Andolina on social media:  Twitter  -  Facebook  -  Pinterest  -  Instagram

Post Comment Love and Blogger Showcase 20 - 22 October 2017

Hello there and welcome to another Friday and another #PoCoLo - you'll know I was away last week and I had a great week away in Porto and the Douro Valley.  If you linked up last week, thank you, I am so behind I can't even begin to tell you. If you're new here this week, it's great to see you.

During our Portugal trip we experienced a mini-heatwave, especially in Pinhao, with temperatures reaching as high as thirty four degrees. And boy was it hot, by the time we returned to Porto and the fog, I thought I was close to melting.

This week has been a bit crazy at work with plenty of long days and that's not helped with either my blog reading, or my pile of holiday washing. There was a clue at the start of the week of how my week might go, when I made my first cup of tea and got back to my desk, the fire alarm went off.  Eventually I remembered to make another cup of tea, but I'm sure it was a sign! 

It's not been a bad week, just busy.

My photo this week is from our trip and from a wander around Pinhao, one of the prettiest small towns I think I've been to for a while. Plenty of the properties were full of this kind of character and I couldn't help but wonder how they would have been in their heyday.
