Post Comment Love 17 - 19 November

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 don’t link up posts which are older as they 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 a quieter week over here, but one with contrasting weather. We’ve had brilliant blue skies one day, to misty foggy mornings the next. And then it was a bit windy again! There’s most definitely a feeling that winter is closing in, but there’s also sunny spells which was good news for me as it gave me the opportunity to get out into my makeshift planting area to get some bulbs into pots, finally!

While I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet - I think perhaps I should - I have started to think about festive plans, including making some cards. And my photo this week confirms that once again my cards will be tree-focussed, nothing new there then!

Have a good week.

This week has been a week of excursions starting last Friday evening when we popped into Newark to view a light and sound installation at the church just off the market square. It was good to see the event, put together by local students and art group Newark Creates, well supported - and another example of how churches can be used by local communities.

Then this week we went into Nottingham on the bus, which was eventful. It was only a small mini-bus and we were the last ones the driver let on - clearly a popular service, which needs a bigger vehicle. On the way back we got on the hourly bus and got a seat, but once again it was pretty full.

In Nottingham itself there was plenty to see, and plenty more to explore on future visits, though if truth be told I think I’ll be going in the car next time!

Yesterday evening we went to a wine tasting in Newark, once again travelling by bus - I’m writing this post before we go, so fingers crossed it all goes well!

I can’t believe it’s November already though.

I am enjoying and embracing the autumnal food, less so the darker evenings though the lighter mornings are welcome, but I’m sure it won’t be too long before they disappear again. We’ve been hitting the local markets and farm shops for our veg, most recently buying some fantastic looking celery, carrots, cauliflower and cavolo nero from a stall in the market at Newark. You could tell that they hadn’t long been cut/harvested from the fields - partly because of the amount of mud that came with them, but also because they just looked so fresh and inviting.

The celery and the carrots were the muddiest, and neither were going in my fridge without a wash. I couldn’t believe the amount of mud that came off them, and then quite quickly couldn’t believe the amount of mud they left in the sink either!
