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. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.

I’m struggling to believe it’s July already, this year seems to be flying past - though like last year it has its moments. Here we’re looking ahead to the delayed step 4 of the lockdown lifting, though have a few weeks to go yet. Not that you’d really know it as in our local supermarket and on our local high street mask wearing is a much less compliant. I’m cautious and while I am looking forward to the guidance relaxing, and to life having a more normal approach, the thing I struggle with is how to be ok restrictions one day, and still ok with less the next day. The already trumpeted “personal responsibility” is likely to be widely interpreted, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, and hope for the best.

My photo this week is of my first hydrangea flower, which in the last week has developed even further. It’s still on the green tinge side, so I’ll be watching to see how it turns white.
