Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any 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 and share some of that love.

I have to start this week’s post with another apology. We’ve just had a long and relaxing bank holiday weekend, which was unusually warm and one where I enjoyed considerably less screen time than I intended. As a consequence I’m still catching up with myself, but I hope you’ll bear with me while I take some time for me.

The weekend was great. Busy enough and relaxing enough too. There was some crafting, some gardening, some cherry watching - see the picture below - and some sitting in the garden too. And a bit of sun on my shoulders, which always helps.

It’s my birthday today, and I know I’ll have a busy work day ahead of me too. But knowing that we have next week off - we’re not going to the Lake District - and knowing the weather forecast is good, will help.
