Post Comment Love 6-8 May

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.

I’ve had an extra long break over this most recent bank holiday, tagging on my last couple of days leave either side of the weekend. With a couple of things planned, and some time to potter around both the garden and the house, it’s been great - and as colleagues are telling me it’s the sign of things to come. I’ve only a few days left at work now, and they’re also trying to ease me into a more gentle day which is really good of them and appreciated. Last night I organised my leaving drinks, and so this post has been written further in advance than normal - but I’m planning on having a good time and catching up with many people I haven’t seen in real life (thanks to the pandemic) for quite a while.

As I sit on the sofa sharing this post, and over the past few weeks, my eyes are drawn towards the orange of the tulips in our back garden - I’ll share more of these here soon - and it’s great to see the hot splodge of colour. Looking for a photo for this post, as I scrolled through I was drawn to this one - not tulips clearly, but definitely their colours. It is in fact outside Liverpool Street station, and one I snapped on a walk around the City when we were finally allowed to travel further than our immediate surroundings. As well as the colour, what I love about this is the mix of old and new, modern and traditional - I just love how it works.

Post Comment Love 29 April - 2 May

Well hello there, it’s been a while hasn’t it - and here in the UK we’ve got another bank holiday weekend too. It’s that time of year where they come thick and fast, and with Easter this year being the forerunner, which ends at the start of June with an additional holiday for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

This week I’ve had a couple of trips into work, which means an enjoyable walk through Greenwich Park. And while my photo this week isn’t the ‘money shot’ of blossom in the park, it’s equally as pretty and lovely to see. It’s been colder here though than it was, so I’m very much looking forward to the warmer weather returning.

Post Comment Love 8-10 April

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.

Last week I told you I was having busy a busy week away from my blog and that’s continued. It’s been pretty full on here and I’ve not yet caught up with myself, instead getting further behind. However it’s, I hope, all for good cause - and if you've seen my Instagram stories this week you’ll know why. We’ve been full steam ahead on getting our house ready to put on the market, and ready for an Open House this weekend.

It’s something we’ve been thinking about and thinking it might happen in the not too distant future but after seeing somewhere we liked while we were away, things moved on a pace. The Open House is on Saturday, and dare I say it but now our house is spick and span again, it’s a really lovely house. I mean it’s lovely at any time, but with the pandemic and very few visitors, it was looking more lived in than pristine.

My photo this week is related to the work we’ve been doing, and credit where credit’s due MOH has been fantastic - even working with our neighbour to clean our rooftop skylight, no mean feat when you realise that’s three storeys up. Though truthfully, I think they both enjoyed being up there - there was no way you’d get me up there, let alone on a windy day. And anyway, I wouldn’t have got this phot if I was there too, would I?

Wish us luck and let’s hope someone loves our house as much as we do, and wants to be the ones to live here next.

Before you link up, next week is Easter so we’ll be taking a break and will back on Friday 29 April.
