Post Comment Love 17-19 December

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. 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.

This is the last link up of the year, we’ll be back on 7 January.

Thank you for joining us this year, we really appreciate having you sharing your posts and commenting on others that have linked up too. Both Suzanne and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and we very much hope you will be back to join us in January.

This week my photo is of the fatsia which is in flower in our garden. One of these days I’ll use one of the many pictures I have of this as a Christmas card - it’s not this year though!

Post Comment Love 10-12 December

I said last week was mundane, this week with Omicron marching on it’s been far from that and more reminiscent of the crazy weeks in 2020. But it isn’t a lockdown, this time we’re calling it Plan B with the increased restrictions. Hospitality remains open, Christmas parties can go ahead but there’s a work from home order in place. My workplace has sensibly postponed our Christmas party, and those that can (including me) will be once again working from home. Let’s hope this really does what is planned, and that everyone does what they can to stay safe.

This week I’m sharing a photo from my visit to the Knitting & Stitching Show - and unbelievably all of these delicate flowers are stitched. This Floating Garden is by Amanda McCavour who uses a sewing machine to create thread drawings. Then by sewing into fabric that dissolves in water, she creates this magic - I’m constantly amazed at the inventiveness and craftsmanship.

Post Comment Love 3-5 December

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.

It’s been a fairly mundane, run of the mill week here following the most recent Covid rule changes around masks. We haven’t stopped wearing masks in shops, and while they’re not something I ever thought would become so mainstream, they are hardly onerous to wear. I don’t understand the reasoning behind only part of the rule changes here - in shops and on public transport, but not in hospitality settings. Well, I do - but the logic doesn’t stack up for me, it smacks of the government playing games. Again.

But anyway, this week the photo I’ve shared is one from the gardens at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire which we had a good wander around after exploring the castle itself. I think the gardeners were, like many gardeners around the country, still catching up with the tasks after no doubt not being able to work in the gardens during lockdown. But even so, the shapes and patterns of the hedges were fantastic - and certainly eye catching.
