Morning. Up early to do the shopping and deliver to in laws. I hope the public will be sensible and not over-buy this Easter weekend, just because they feel sorry for themselves missing out on Easter activities. As far as I am concerned, Easter is just another weekend; this year more than ever.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ another beautiful morning ... think OH is tackling the front garden today ... I need to cut the shrubby salvias back and OH has plans to use the electric rake/scarifier on the ‘lawn’ and then we’ll overseed ... hmm there was some rain forecast for tomorrow ... it’s disappeared off the chart and there’s none for the next ten days at least ... I’ll have to water the grass seed ... just hope this painful neck/ shoulder relaxes a bit soon ...
We’ll be keeping away from shops @AuntyRach ... take care of yourself 🤗

Obelixx, I had my last daughter at 41 (second marriage) Hubbies first baby, got a lot of unpleasant comments, it was my easiest pregnancy, wasnt sick, no high BP, the only one I wasnt hospitalised with while pregnant.My oldest daughter, then had my first grand child, her son, the following year, and I must have looked pretty good for my age, because NOT one person ever thought I was granny!!
I think some people might be stocking up on the chocolate @AuntyRach Why is the shop not open tomorrow @Hostafan1? I know some places still don't have Sunday opening, but yours isn't one of those? Damp, misty and dreich here. Plenty of rain from yesterday tea time, but it's been that nice consistent stuff. More like summer here yesterday after the clouds cleared. Amazing the difference it makes when we don't have the accompanying wind. Lots of little jobs done, including harvesting some soil from the garden to do one of the sweet pea pots. May not get any more though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Same here @Nanny Beach. Sailed right thru to the last week when pre-eclampsia got the obs-gynae very excited.
Gorgeous sunny morning here and, for once, I have treated OH to his juice and coffee in bed while I was wrangling hot cross bun dough. Only ever made bread dough before so this brioche type stuff is a bit odd. We'll see. Now parked on the sofa with the morning news with a heady perfume from the wisteria blooms I cut yesterday to stop us being head banged every time we went out. The ones on the annex are really long, over a foot/30cms some of them.
Have a good day everyone. Hope you get some sun but mostly hope you stay safe.

Looks like our spiced buns will have disappeared by the end of the day ... I’m tempted to make some more ... perhaps I shouldn’t ... whatever the decision, I must make bread today ...

Ah - I didn't know that @Dovefromabove. Christmas Day was never a holiday in Scotland until about the 50s. Big shops are only closed then - open every day including New Year now. I expect both my girls will be quite busy tomorrow. I'm happy to test your hot cross buns ...fling a few this way....

Morning you lot. I was out in the garden before 7 this morning , in the queue at Waitrose at 8 , now home for breakfast then back to planting out Hostas before it gets too warm to be in the tunnel. @Fairygirl, the Easter/Christmas closures was the payoff to keep the CoE "happy" about the shops being open every other Sunday. I'd rather be working tomorrow. I get "time and a half" when I work sundays so I'm losing 33% of my wages by staying at home.
