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. 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.

I was away last week in Italy, we explored the largely unspoilt Gargano Peninsular which is the spur on Italy’s heel. The weather was mixed, but thankfully dry during the day when we were walking. And boy did we walk, we had organised routes as part of the trip with our bags transferred between hotels but in that week we walked just over 57 miles, with a lot of hills ups and downs!

It was great to be away - our first time abroad since the pandemic - and I’m already planning our next trip. I’ll share more about our trip here, and also over on Instagram if you want the shortened version. The flight got back to the UK late in the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday, and it was 4.30am by the time we stepped through our front (or rather back) door.

I’m glad to be back for peony season, and I couldn’t resist these when I popped out for a post-holiday essentials supermarket shop!

Have a good week…
