    No Eastenders. Marvellous.
    Perhaps they can replace it with something that won't send folk running for the razor blades and hot bath.
    I went to get some compost for potting up some little Acidantheras, and a Leucojum fell onto the trolley.
    Well, it would have been rude not to keep it.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Eastenders: unattractive , inarticulate people arguing with each other.

    After the first stress of our flight back to France being cancelling and worrying about my horses in France I'm glad to be staying in OH's cottage in Norfolk. Friends have a rota to visit the horses, hay is being delivered and their water will be topped up.

    I love this cottage and I've been re-planting the garden. All the daffodils I planted in the autumn are out or in bud. I'm going to decorate the guest room.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    We're in self isolation, but I'm having such fun with my two boys and wife making the most of our outdoor space playing football, hide and seek, alternative forms of tennis (the 6 year old makes up the rules as we go along). We've also gardened together everyone did some weeding, the boys sowed some verbena (hope there results are better than mine), they've been washing pots my chore normally but they thought if was a game. All in we're making some fantastic family memories !!!

    Hostafan, so you were having a "consulation" with a dentist, as I think they are way down the line of folks favorite people, your "consulation" maybe is that you dont have to see one!!  Hello Dove AKA Pollianna, haha.  We have had the odd day when the sun has shone, I love getting my washing dry outside, makes me ridiculously happy, just love the smell of it. Its meant that hubby has been busy in the garden, quarter acre, always something to do.  I have got the usual seeds germinating.  Luckily, not 70, till the end of the year (eldest daughter has told me I am NOT to go out) says you can still walk your dogs, doing that, the beach was lovelly on Sunday, we did 90 minutes.  Took them up the South Downs yesterday, am enjoying watch the blossom come out, looking in peoples gardens seeing the daffs,tulips coming out.

    @HouseFinch love it!! 

    I go and feed my birds on a morning. I go back to the house and sit for five minutes and watch them flock around the feeder. They dont know what is happening. Its five minutes of normality. Five minutes that make me think this isn't happening,  everything is normal. 

    This past few days, I have cherished those captured minutes thanks to  my garden birds 🦅
