Post Comment Love 9 - 11 August

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. 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.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. 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.

There’s been a lot going on this week - the wardrobe inners have been fitted over two days in the early part of week; they look great though the company need to return to remedy the second wardrobe as the incorrect fittings were used for one of the shelves, and while they do the job they aren’t right. I know I’ll be so much happier with them when these are changed over.

We’ve had a logstore/shed delivered and MOH has already started to assemble that, though it’s more involved than he’d expected. It’s the sort that has an open area for storing logs, but at one end has a small shed section, they suggest for tools, however my plan is to use it for storing open bags of compost, bark, grit and gravel and such like so that they don’t take up room in the garage, but mostly so we don’t have to see them when we’re enjoying our garden!

We headed to the pub in the next village this week for ‘burger night’ and enjoyed a really good burger. Our walk there was full of blackberry and sloe spotting, and sadly as well as fly-tipped sofas (which the council have already removed), so I think some foraging will be necessary next week. On the way back I picked up a lovely chilli plant from outside one of the cottages, complete with chillies and even more flowers, for just a pound.

So, all in all a great week!

What a glorious few days we’ve had weather-wise, with actual sun and high temperatures - though of course, it’s not forecast to last much longer, but as I write this the thunderstorms haven’t arrived yet…

We’ve spent time this week preparing for the wardrobe inserts that are being fitted early next week. Both wardrobes have been emptied, which has meant our spare room is now full of clothes (and more) and MOH has spent quite a bit of time removing the battens which the shelf and hanging rail were balanced on. It’s been quite a task, or getting the battens out has been - though if the rest of the house is built as well, that’ll stand us in good stead!

My photo this week is one from a local field - we explored a new to us path, joining the two walks we’ve up til now done independently, and I snapped this as we walked alongside a field of barley. I’m sure we’ll walk this way again now, but probably only in the warmer and dryer months.

It’s been a busy week here - catching up following a full on day trip to London, prepping for and enjoying birthday celebrations for my dad’s 90th birthday at the weekend, and then a day out in Nottingham yesterday making the most of our time to explore our new city while my car was in for its service and first MOT. All of it went well - even keeping the buttercream cake cool on the warmest days so far, and much fun was had by all - and the car passed its MOT too, though this really should never have been in doubt!

My photo this week is something else we’ve finally got onto the wall here. It’s a ‘colour wheel’ side plate from Anna Stark’s reimagined range - where her strapline is ‘vintage inspired homeware with a modern twist’. It was a present from my SIL at Christmas and while I always knew it was going in the craft room, I was between two spots for it. I finally decided so it’s on the wall!

Have a good week!
