Good Morning everyone from Severnside where it is also dark and dry.

It was so good to get out into the garden yesterday. I cut a lot of sprouting new branches off my eucalyptus tree and they smelt lovely. That should freshen the wheelie bin.

My daughter is coming today. She is on holiday and has been decorating.

I hope you enjoy your book Mick. I have one of where I grew up. It wasn’t written by a local and wasn’t quite what I expected but I did learn some things and knew some of the people.

Take care all and enjoy your day ?

Good morning from a dawning E Kent. We had lovely ☀️Most of yesterday. Doesn’t it cheer us after the gloom of winter?
Your book sounds interesting,*Mick*, and I hope your PB delivery is successful.
My Spanish class is today and we have been examining the use of various past tenses. I am floundering, which is why I spent the night dreaming is the imperfect, pluperfect, perfect etc. I’m exhausted.
Apart from Spanish, I’ve got an empty.
I sent a Bakedin subscription to my DGS ‘s 8 year old sister. She’s a baking fiend and I hope she enjoys it.
Hope the maternity ward clients are behaving themselves, Sheep.
To everyone, have the gentlest, quiet, kind day. Forget your worries, pain and cares and carpe diem. ☀️??❤️

Morning Mick and all who follow from a very quiet ? north Wales where that noisy wind has disappeared and we’re promised ? for the next few days!

Will strip the bed once DH has roused himself and we’re having kedgeree for brunch - it’ll be lovely to sit in the garden mid morning watching the birdies flying in and out of their houses. DH renovates them each year and takes viewings from potential tenants - in my mind anyway ?

Good to read more are having the injection and plans for holidays/breaks being revived- we all need something to look forward to, and soon! Will be checking flights to mi Casa in May ?

Stay safe everyone x

Good morning, Mick and everyone from a mild and calm Torbay. The book you have ordered sounds interesting, Mick.

Staying with the purple and yellow theme, I’m taking you from the ridiculous of yesterday to the sublime today with this photo from the park which is opposite my home. This colourful display is a joy to behold each Spring and is more welcome than ever this year!

I hope any lamb births overnight were trouble free for sheepandcattle. B9exchange is right: you should write a book. How wonderful that each animal has a name! I loved yesterday's comment from Auntieflo about the sheep lining up to hear the register called. A friend who was a dairy farmer used to name newly born calves after characters in whatever musical or panto his wife was performing. So he had Sinbad, Eliza, Cinderella, etc.

I hope EV is well and that we hear from her soon. Marydoll tells wonderful anecdotes about her life and I think we've all experienced the attitude of younger folk towards our generation regarding IT, especially remotely by phone. It’s when they say, “Do you have access to a computer?” or “Do you have an email address?” that one wonders what their own grandparents are like.

Have as good a day as you can and stay safe and well. ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark , but its dry outside this morning in Brackley .
Today at some point I expect to get my chilled meat delivered from Parsley Box, having had a confirmation email .
I also ordered a paperback book yesterday , someone locally has written it as regards to his childhood in the town , the author has also written other hardback books as to the towns history , he now lives away from the area in Fleetwood, but visits the town .
He was a history professor at the University of Buckingham .
Take Care,
Mick
