Post Comment Love 20 - 22 October

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.

It’s been another week here where the weather determines what we do; on the dry days MOH has been out in the garden continuing to paint the trellis around the heat pump. I’ve left him to it this week, but one day he was out there it was on the cold side and the heat pump was blowing cold air on him too for good measure. I’m glad I stayed inside busying myself!

We walked to the pub on Sunday for a huge roast dinner ahead of the rugby game, which we stayed to watch. Then it was a 30 minute walk home along the bridleway which wasn’t as dark as we expected - we had torches at the ready. It was pretty chilly, but not so bad really though I’m glad the brief cold snap was brief.

This photo I snapped out of the window, not quite believing the colour of the sky, even though we are treated to quite a few red skies up here. Isn’t it beautiful?

Post Comment Love 13 - 15 October

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.

This week we’ve been making the most of the unseasonal October weather while it lasted. We’ve been painting the trellis around our heat pump, which in my photo this week looks like it’s shaping up like a 1980s tracksuit! Don’t worry, it’s all ‘black ash’ now and it’s made such a difference. It’s been a lot of work too, as what you can’t see from here is that the trellis diagonals are ridged.

MOH started while I caught up with some gardening, and this was how far he’d got when I joined him. He has done most of it but over three days we’ve got the three trellis outsides done, the four posts and part of one panel inside. And then we ran out of paint, so later we’re off to replenish our supplies.

The nicer weather also saw me join MOH on a bike ride to our local farm shop for lunch and a more scenic route home, it wasn’t as sunny as it had been the days before, but that was probably a good thing!

Yesterday there was a much more autumnal feel to the day, which reminds us we’ll need to contact the developers to have our lesson on how to work our heating - when we moved in in the summer, they rightly said we’d probably forget it all! Now that the weather looks to be turning I think I’d like to have that knowledge for when we need it.

Post Comment Love 6 - 8 October

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.

I’ve spent most of the week trying to get back into our relatively new routine following an extended weekend away. We’ve spent time getting things more straight finally getting the pigeon shelves which used to be in our porch on the wall in our new plant room (it’s a grand name for a room with all the heating and water gubbings in!). Getting the shelves on the wall has made such a difference though, as it’s a space I also use for drying washing and one which space will become more in demand as the weather turns.

We’ve collected some long awaited furniture for MOH’s man cave, which in turn has freed up some units which I intend to use in the cloakroom by the front door (an actual room for coats and such like, not the downstairs loo - which confuses people!). And then yesterday we popped down to Grand Designs Live at the NEC in Birmingham - it was our first time visiting the Birmingham show and we saw some new things, and some very lovely things as well as things which we’d seen in London back in May, so a mixed day.

My photo this week is another from our visit to Hidcote in the Cotswolds. I was quite taken with this most likely antique, and if not vintage terrarium displayed in one of the fireplaces. I know that if I had anything similar (though definitely more vintage than antique) MOH would be itching to give it a rub down and a new coat of paint!

Anyway, have a good week - and thanks for being here every week.
