Post Comment Love 18-20 March

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog 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 week we’ve had some of that Saharan dust and reddy brown rain, which as you can imagine wasn’t so welcome, and soon after my white car looked like I’d spent some time rallying. I hadn’t. The saving grace was that its scheduled clean was postponed until after the sandy-rain, and boy did he earn his money cleaning it.

I’m hoping the weather for the weekend remains favourable as our plan is to sort out our shed - spring cleaning at it’s very worst, or best depending on your viewpoint - but definitely not something for inclement weather. I’d love to claim the photo is from my garden, but it’s another from our visit last summer to Barnsdale Gardens, but isn’t it glorious?

It’s been so good to see the lighter evenings - and dare I say it - some sun this week, it really does make all the difference doesn’t it? From a covid perspective, last weekend felt one of our most normal weekends since it all began, with visits to restaurants and to a concert - and it was good to be out, albeit more cautiously than ever before.

This week I’ve spent some time in my photo archives, and my posts this week reflect that. I’ve a lot more photos to edit though, and it’s great to relive the memories from our trips. My photo this week is from our trip to the Lake District last June, and while it may not be the best photo I love how the town is reflected in the gallery window and the modern painting of the mountains which I’d happily own.

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 hope you’re all doing well, the world news is continuing to throw me, and I know I’m not the only one. Colleagues have spoken of their guilt about carrying on as normal and others on how their mind wanders to scenarios none of us hope materialise, and it’s easy to understand the feelings. Our world is so inter-connected now that it’s almost impossible for us to not have some sort of connection to the people there. I’ve needed to pull myself away from the news at times, and with a couple of days off earlier in the week I decided to start an early spring clean.

It wasn’t long before I really wondered what I’d started, but by that time it was too late to stop and go backwards - and I found myself, as you do, in more mess than when I started. Most of this pile of board games and puzzles, which I’ve had for many years will be finding their way to an online selling site, but only once I’ve found more energy for the next step of photographing, documenting, and making it actually happen.
