Post Comment Love 13-15 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 have pretty much spent the last week saying goodbye to friends and colleagues in my former workplace, it’s felt a bit like the longest goodbye (in a good way) and yet still a surprise for some to learn I was leaving. It’s been great to catch up with people in person, and as I warned them, I’m not far away and was back there last night attending an awards night and for drinks. I’ve only been away a few days, but it was good to see everyone.

Thank you for the comments about the photo on last week’s post, the tulips are all but done now - but at each stage their beauty has shone through. They seemed an obvious photo for this week, and quite often - and definitely in this case - obvious is good, so here’s their last hurrah:

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.

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.
