sorry , but I've been a bit AWOL for a couple of days.
Nasty experience yesterday , cut a long story short, we got mugged and had money stolen. We'd just taken money to go change,a lot more than we'd normally carry, ended up somewhere perhaps we shouldn't have been ( 20:20 hindsight?) and had it all stolen.
Oh Hosta!!! ((hugs for you both)) How horrid .......... and probably very scary ... you're both big strong chaps so I presume that either a weapon or several assailants or both were involved ... please take care now. I take it the police have been informed ...
Obelix and everyone who's said such kind things ... thank you ... OH is disappointed but pragmatic ... he says he's had eight years in a lovely job with lovely people, just up the road and hours that really suited him and enabled him to spend large uninterrupted blocks of time in the studio which has been amazing. Something else will turn up .......
Topbird, bread sauce and quince jelly will do just fine ... expect you this evening
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Omg Hosta. How frightening, that could have turned very nasty.
if you wont tell police promise you will tell the rep/hotel/ they need to know if there is a problem in the area and allow other guests to be vigilant .

Hosta - frightening experience. Hope you are both ok now.
Some birds to lighten my mood.
They're beautiful Hosta .... any idea what they are?

Dove, 4 guys bundled us into a house and handcuffed us together. Kept me there while one of them took Hubby back to hotel to get more money.
I keep telling Hubby " it could have been a lot worse" At least we're not nursing broken bones or tending knife wounds..
No point in telling police, we couldn't
direct them to where we were.
the "blue" ones are long tailed starlings, or glossy starlings, ( depends who you ask ) the other is , I think , one of the hornbills.
That irridescent blue is gorgeous
Sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's horrendous Hosta
Stay by the pool!!!
I s'pose it's something to tell your grandchildren ........

Indeed so Dove, they're the same birds I posted last time we were here, but this time I got the sun on them on the palm trees opposite our balcony.
They , very obligingly, announce their arrival with a very distinctive call.
