Post Comment Love 18-20 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, 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, comment 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.

With the nicer weather there has been time to get out on my bike, for the first time in a good few years. I didn’t go far, but that wasn’t the point, I went. And as important walking the next day wasn’t an issue! It’s been a while since I last cycled, and to be fair cycling in London wasn’t fun, with much less traffic here - and quieter, country lanes - I think this could be a more regular occurrence. And we may even venture further than the pub in the next village next time!

Post Comment Love 11 - 13 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.

It’s been lovely to see the blue skies again this week, and we’ve definitely made the most of being able to be out and about. Even if one of those out and about trips was to Ikea to pick up another storage unit - I’ve conceded that I don’t have enough storage in my craft room, and I suspect it will only get worse as time goes on!

Of course though the unit is slightly different to the ones we already have in there. We have a gloss finish, and this one is a matt finish so I’ll be moving the furniture about a bit to retain the glossy finish on the side which will be seen most. The easy job would be to slot in the new unit on the end, but I know I’ll prefer to make it a much bigger, and harder job!

We were in Newark, at the Castle grounds, last night to see a theatrical performance of The Sign of Four, a one-man Sherlock Holmes story. It was well performed and a good night out, but I was so thankful the weather had changed, I’m not sure it would have been quite so much fun in the rain!

Post Comment Love 4 - 6 August

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.
