Post Comment Love 9 - 11 June

Hello there, and welcome back 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, please remember this, posts which are older could be removed from the linky. 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’ve joined us.

This time of year is always busy with birthdays and celebrations. Yesterday MOH and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary, and despite agreeing ‘cards, but no presents’ he also popped out to pick up this gorgeous bouquet of flowers which he’d ordered from our local florist. He knows me well, and had asked the florist for something modern using yellow, orange and red/pink and then left them to it. Aren’t they gorgeous?

Orange gerberas, yellow dahlias and spray 'fillers' - part of the flowers that MOH bought for our wedding anniversary - he's a keeper!

Tomorrow I’m off to the hospital for my Carpal Tunnel Decompression operation. I’m looking forward to the end result of no longer having tingling fingers, but not so much the actual operation or the recovery. I’m very right-handed, and yes, it’s my right hand that is being operated on. I’ve two weeks in bandages - which in the pre-admission clinic they told me would be big - and I’m sure plenty more recuperation and recovery after that. We’ve a few things planned in the next two weeks, not least a trip to Birmingham (by train!) to Gardeners’ World Live which I’m hoping won’t be too disrupted. Fingers crossed (left ones only for me though!)

In comparison to last week which was predominantly task-based, this week has been much more fun and celebratory, as weeks celebrating birthdays should be. The weather even managed to sort itself out and we’ve had time in the gardening for working and relaxing. The sun loungers are out and have been used, and there’s been a couple of barbecued meals too - let’s hope the warmer weather hangs around for a bit.

It’s not just me that’s enjoying the weather, our Gertrude Jekyll rose bush has the most roses we’ve seen on it for a good few years, and they’re such gorgeous flowers too - it’s definitely a plant that’s going on my ‘next garden’ list, especially as it was a present from MOH on our fourth wedding anniversary.

Isn’t it gorgeous?

We’ve our final bank holiday of the month on Monday, so the linky will stay open for an extra day closing at 11pm on Monday, giving you extra time to link up.

We’ve had one of those weeks where we’ve been ploughing through tasks, none of which seem particularly photo worthy. We’ve had some family meet-ups with more to follow, which is good for my car as well as my soul. As is the gardening, and being able to potter and pick off jobs a few a day, rather than our previous blitz it style. Like anything though, once you start paying attention to something you notice the smallest changes, and it’s great to notice these in our garden. Usually as I wander up and down I have my phone in my hand, ready to capture what I see - and I’m particularly pleased with this capture of the new growth on the yew tree.
