Post Comment Love 4 - 6 April

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.

It’s still warm, which is great. I had a solo trip to London this week and it was great not to have to think about taking a coat - though I did have a cardy and a lightweight wrap in case it chilled down more than I expected!

I was in London to catch up with friends and celebrate the retirement of one of them, and it was great to catch up too. We worked out that we’d known each other since 1985, which is quite a time and he was retiring from the company where we met all those years ago.

I took myself off to an exhibition in the Barbican Centre, stumbled across a pop-up garden and found some time to bask in some sun outside the Guildhall as well, so not a bad day at all.

Whatever you’re up to, have a great week.

The warmer temperatures have continued here, and it’s been great and have meant we’ve been out in the countryside around us, even heading off exploring a new to us part of the river path ahead of a trip to the supermarket. We discovered a new to us bridge across the river leading to the more northern part of town.

Back home and the local farmer was offering some eggs on our village Facebook group, and they’re eggs so fresh I can’t turn down, so I was quickly the new owner of a dozen multi-coloured chicken eggs and half a dozen duck eggs. So we’ve been eating plenty of eggs this week!

We had a great evening in Newark last Friday hearing from the gardener Adam Frost about his garden and the songs that have inspired the design in different parts of it - and it made me think that this is something I’ve never thought about. I haven’t thought about it for my own garden too much since either if I’m honest, but it was an interesting insight into how designers ‘trick’ themselves into designing.

Maybe it’s something I’ll come back to and think more about as we progress our garden, who knows - but I am now kind of wondering what music would be right for the greenhouse planning post I’ve linked up this week!

Indoor growing is clearly a theme for me this week as my photo is from the beautiful conservatory at the Belton Estate, one of the closest National Trust properties close to us. We chose to visit on a glorious day, and it was great to be out in the sun and without a coat - but somehow the conservatory still pulled us in, and the 22.5 degree temperature was just as lovely as these flowering amaryllis. I need to find some space in my blog schedule to share more from our visit.

Have a good week.
