Post Comment Love 4 - 6 August

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 will 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.

I don’t know about you but for me July has just flown by. It was a busy month with lots of change so I’m sure that’s contributed to the speed. We’re getting much more settled here now, the deliveries continue to arrive with regularity that both impresses and scares me. It’s the little things, such as hooks for tea towels - as well as the big things, like a new washer-dryer that have been on our hit list most recently.

Having finally decided on the type, brand and model of our new washer-dryer it arrived in less than a week, and then was installed in less than thirty minutes. The downside is I’ve a fair bit of washing to catch up on, and no more excuses!

We’ve been out exploring again with a short there-and-back trip to one of the nearby villages. We later discovered that there was a footpath we could have taken to bring us back in a circular route, though we also learnt it’s pretty overgrown, but ok if you crawl! So maybe not knowing about it in advance was a good thing - we’re hopeful that it will be cut back, and we’ll be able to explore it unscathed.

The village was extremely picturesque, and quieter than our own - mainly because it has a country lane rather than a busier road through it. I snapped a few photos as we walked and my photo this week is one of those.

Have a great week, and thank you all for being so patient with me these past few months - I think, finally, a new routine is emerging.

This week we’ve spent some time unboxing things in the garage, which has meant that for the first time in a while I’ve been able to do some gardening. I hadn’t realised quite how much I’d missed just pottering about. I spent some time weeding and trimming some of the plants which had started to grow into each other, and somehow managed to half fill a wheelie bin. But it was good to get acquainted with my new garden, and I was amazed at how many butterflies the buddleia bush attracted. That was great to see.

I had some good news during the week when I learnt I’d won a competition on Instagram. The competition was a collaboration between Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe and Round Corner Brewery, both of which are based in Melton Mowbray - which is now just down the road. The prize - some pork pies and beer (yay!) - arrived earlier this week, and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the pork pie parcel tape.

We’re looking forward to eating the pork pies, and trying the beer - I know it’s complete coincidence as I entered the competition before we moved, but what a welcome to the area!
