Post Comment Love 8-10 May

May 8, 2020

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any 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 and share some of that love.

This could potentially be a first, with #PoCoLo running on a Bank Holiday Friday. It’s definitely a first for a Bank Holiday Friday in May, that’s for sure. And it feels kind of odd too, and not just because we’re still in lockdown, with no clear path on how we’ll move out of it. It seems a lot will hang on Sunday’s announcement, though anyone who thinks life will return to normal in the near future is likely to be very disappointed.

It is a shame that the celebrations for VE Day have needed to be cancelled, but it’s obvious why they were. There is a fantastic looking Virtual VE Day Festival taking place online organised jointly by the museums of the Royal Air Force, Army and Navy. Let’s hope that by VJ Day, on 15 August, life might be less locked down and some of the celebrations could take place then.

The weather also seems caught out by the change to the Bank Holiday, as the forecast for at least a couple of days is good, so I’m hoping our barbecue will be out - as well as the bottle of Rose that’s in the fridge in preparation.

Post Comment Love 1-3 May

It’s been another quiet and work filled week here, the highlight I think has been making chocolate banana muffins, which are clearly not photographed below. I’ll tell you more about this week’s photo shortly.

Oh and a cheese delivery - our first from Neal’s Yard, and I suspect not our last, though not for a couple of weeks. We did enjoy some time in the garden last weekend. We got some gardening done, filled our green bin and then also found some time to enjoy the sun, and give the barbecue another outing, which when you remember it was still April is pretty amazing.

Though the last few days have been rather different weather-wise. It’s been chilly, wet and generally just a bit miserable. Even MOH hasn’t ventured out much this week. As always any kind of cake is welcomed here, and the coffee and cake in the photo below were probably the reason we almost missed our flight back from Lyon in February. That’s quite a call, but then again I was smitten with the plates.

Post Comment Love 24-26 April

I’ve another day off, I know, they’re coming along like buses at the moment. This time though MOH is also taking time off, so no doubt he’ll have me working in the garden (and I’ll be giving him jobs too). And if we’re lucky the barbeque will be on before the end of the day too.

We’re off, because we’re not going to Devon. We were due to be visiting family, but clearly not now. I’m hoping to share a not going to Devon post, but haven’t written that yet. Which has sort of summed up my week, I have plenty of plans but making them happen has taken more effort than it usually would.

There’s been few photos again, so I’m diving into my archives as I grandly call them. Another name is those still waiting to be edited. This one’s from our visit to Kenilworth Castle and it proves, not everything is what it seems. You might think this is the highest quality terrazzo marble, but no, it’s painted wood (or whatever).

Another reminder that everything is not always quite what it seems.
