Post Comment Love 1 - 3 October

October 1, 2021

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suz ann e, 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. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.

Happy October!

But seriously, how has that happened? I feel like we’ve missed a month (at least) somewhere along the way. Though this past week has felt the most normal, in a pre-Covid sense, for a long time. Petrol aside. I don’t have any petrol, and even less patience to queue but I know I will most probably need to break soon. But I really don’t want to join the bibbing idiots queuing for the garage down the road (and I should add I’m sure none of you are bibbing idiots). The bibbing and the perpetual queue outside our house means the garage has petrol, the other night (or rather morning) it went on until at least 1.30am, which wasn’t great.

But back to autumn. Aren’t these ceramic pumpkins lovely? MOH was trying to work out their purpose, and couldn’t quite comprehend their ‘ornament’ status. They’re made by the very talented Lindy Garner of Lindy Garner Ceramics, and I know these won’t be my only purchase.

Post Comment Love 24-26 September

September 24, 2021

Last week you’ll remember that my photo was raindrops on the window, thankfully the weather here has been much improved. In my home office it’s been warm most days, MOH though is noticing the drop of temperature in his home office at the back of the house. I’m finding I’m still dressing for summer and feeling chillier in our main living areas, it’s all very confusing. Heading to campus and wearing proper office clothes - and worse, shoes - is equally as problematic, but I’ll cope - and it’s been nice to sit outside and eat our lunch some days.

So today, I’m sharing a sunnier photo and one from our trip to Scotney Castle back in July. Admittedly the greenhouse looks as if it needs a bit of work, but isn’t it characterful and beautiful nonetheless? It’s situated in the walled garden, and walled gardens are always a must visit for me.

You’ll see from this week’s photo that weather has dominated the week. This was taken on Tuesday and I think it rained all day, Wednesday was meh and yesterday warm and sunny - and took me by surprise. Thursday was also a day for being on campus, and warm weather and wearing proper clothes and shoes wasn’t a great combination. Though wearing a work dress made a change from wearing shorts! I have become that person that dresses for the online meetings on the top half - but shhh, don’t tell anyone!
