Post Comment Love 20-22 November

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.

I’m finding it hard to believe that we still have almost two weeks of lockdown 2.0 to go, it feels like we should be almost there already, but we’re not. We’re noticing a difference in the levels of traffic in the evenings, but not during the day at all, and despite news of the vaccines, the news worrying. I think we’ve a way to go yet, as we will soon face an even more concerted campaign by those who don’t agree with vaccination.

I am looking forward to this weekend though and looking forward to doing some cooking as this year we’ll be making a Christmas cake as well as the usual Christmas puddings MOH makes. I may be late doing this, who knows, but it’s stir-up Sunday this weekend and MOH is on track for the puddings.

It’s another old photo for my post this week. This week we’ve skipped back to 2018, and a visit to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. It was such a good day, that was the year that I went on Press Day, and when the show returns I’d be keen to do that again.

This week has been grey hasn’t it? And quite uninspiring - and that’s from MOH. He’s been keeping himself busy mostly indoors, disappearing off and reappearing to make a cup of tea, or lunch - he’s well trained. He’s been fiddling around with our house alarm, trying to fix a broken sensor - soldering it this way and that, but each time the result was an unnecessary beep, every minute, and masterfully timed so it didn’t coincide with any of my meetings - which given how many there are, is quite something. He’s given up, now I think and another one is on order, so the ‘fun’ will be repeated when that’s added to the system I’m sure.

My photo this week is one from Oistins in Barbados. I’ve been delving through my photos this week for some inspiration, and this one made me smile - as the saying goes, one careful owner…

So we’re back in lockdown here in the UK. As they say, that all escalated rather quickly. With a government leak on the Friday night, an announcement squeezed in in between the rugby and Strictly and a lot of work at work as a result of it. I think we all knew it was likely, but even so, this lockdown has a different feel to it, doesn’t it?

I hope you’re all coping ok, whether you’re in lockdown or not. It’s continuing to be the most peculiar of years, in almost every part of our lives. And, let’s hope it can only improve, though like many I suspect it will have more to throw at us first.

This week’s photo is one from our trip to Norfolk, taken in the grounds of Houghton Hall. They’ve got a fabulous art installation on at the moment which we’d hoped to be able to visit earlier in the year, but only managed to on the way home this time round.
