    Evening all. Hibernated a bit today - couldn’t even face wrapping up to venture into the garden today - maybe in the week if it’s less soggy. 
    Hope you all doing ok.

    Hibernation every now and then is a good plan AuntyRach 😀

    Had a good walk, didn’t get rained on, but it was a bit muddy.  Like walking in treacle in some bits.  Good for the thighs 😮

    Good to see you @LG_.  Can’t believe your second course is over already 😳.  Is Bow looking for conservatoires for next year?  Or are you getting ahead of the game?

    Lovely Chicky.  Don't see lambs here.  It's all cows and calves.

    On Friday, I spent my morning with 3 other Brits and a team of kids and teachers from a lycée to plan a British meal for their restaurant but using local ingredients.   I told them about using brioche to make Bread and Butter pudding.  Adopted instantly.   Anyway, after sharing recipes and tips we headed home.  Then yesterday I had an email from one of the girls on my team asking about creams and marmalade.

    Today she has sent a photo of the resulting pud saying it was delish and there's none left!   Entente cordiale or what?

    How lovely to see sheep on springy grass. The lamb looks so cute.

    Bit early for lambs here but when it happens it’s such a welcome sight. All that gambolling and frolicking

    Looked out but didn't see you Chicky, you must have blown past at high speed in the wind. It is more like March/April around here at the moment with a combination of mad winds and showers.

    Morning. Cold but clear out. 
    Lovely to see lambs. I have always fancied a night in a barn helping with lambing. 
    Bit of a chore-list today, as I did nowt over weekend - the first wash is on so I’ll just have another cuppa then make a start on the other stuff.
    Have a good Monday all.
