Post Comment Love 1 - 3 September

September 1, 2023

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.

Happy 1 September!

I know it comes every year, but so soon? I hope you’ve had a good summer and whatever September brings for you is good. We are definitely noticing a change is starting to take place in the seasons, the sun is still here at times, but the mornings and evenings have more of a chill to them. Our windows are open less, and more are closed than ever before in our almost two months in our new house.

We’re noticing the differences in the hedgerows too. The image below was one from an impromptu nine mile walk on bank holiday Monday, which saw us searching out an old disused railway which is now used as a cycle path and pedestrian route into Newark.

We found it and when we got there we realised we’d been there before. Not in a supernatural kind of way, literally we’d been there before back in 2016 on our first visit to the area, when moving wasn’t even a twinkle in our eye. Now we live just a few miles from there - isn’t it funny how life turns out?

Thank you for your comments on my post last week about a new blog name - it’s all really helped, and I have secured a new domain and hope to be making the changes in the next few days, all going well. Exciting times!

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.

When I said the other week a new routine was emerging, I may have been optimistic! As you’ll see from my post this week I’ve been mulling, and when that happens most routine things go out the window as I become preoccupied with what’s on my mind. I don’t know why I didn’t think to write a blog post earlier, as that’s really helped me - I guess that’s why we all write, and have our own space on the internet. Over the past year, while being on the moving house carousel, I think I’ve forgotten that.

Anyway, enjoy this week’s photo taken by MOH while we enjoyed a free flying display which took place over our garden this week. The weather was glorious too, as you can see from the blue sky. For about four hours on and off we were treated to various aircraft flying above the garden, as were the surrounding villages, by the local RAF base. It was very loud, very close and very impressive and finished with a stunning thirty minute display by the Red Arrows.

MOH was just as impressed that I knew where our binoculars were! I’m impressed he found them without needing detailed directions - the logical unpacking system is working!

Have a lovely week. Oh, and it’s a bank holiday here in the UK this weekend so the linky will stay open until 11pm on Monday to allow more time for you to link up.

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!
