Mornin n’alln’all
Had a bit of a sleep-in this morning. With the clocks forward it’s even later than I’d intended!

Happy Easter everyone. My porridge was presented to me this morning with a Cadbury’s mini egg on top
I bought a multipack of the tiniest packets when we were in the uk. Clearly meant for Easter egg hunts. At least if I feel the need to eat
the rest of the packet it’ll not be so bad as with the larger standard packet!!

Dieting over Easter is pants - as you have probably come to realise, I’m up for celebrating anything - making and eating different foods in celebration. Do feel free to help yourselves to ‘my’ chocolate, hot cross buns, simnel cake….I won’t feel like they’re going to waste!

Easter weekend is a bit of a strange time here. You don’t really notice the regular church bells - until they stop. They ‘fly’ to Rome apparently on Good Friday and come back ,having been blessed by the Pope ,on Easter Sunday, dropping gifts for children on their
way.

It’s quite sunny outside so I’ll be out there gardening this afternoon. Sorry if I’m hogging it a bit recently.

Enjoy your day peeps.

Good afternoon, attended an open air service in the town center here all the churches in the town held an Easter service, after which a breakfast was served in one of the church halls, which I didn't attend, as I intend getting some weight off, not dieting just cutting down a bit then later was at church and now heading to sons for a family meal so have a good day and smile

The mist cleared and the sun came out, not t-shirt weather but still nice.

No eggs here Nicos bug plenty of hot cross buns.

Hope you all had a good day.

Morning all. Buenos días, Bramble.

Hard frost again, but looking ahead Wednesday morning might be the last one for a bit, possibly even for the year (last date is usually 10 April, though not unknown early May). Daytime temperatures are due to go bonkers (top 20s by the end of the week).

Absolutely loads to keep me busy right through till the weekend. So already looking forward to Saturday!

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning all. I have been wide awake since 4.30am. No idea why and I just cannot get back to sleep. I think I might just give in and go make coffee.

Mornin n’alln’all
windy and sunny spells. If the rain holds off I’m going for a cycle ride later.
My last frosts have been as late as 9/10 June. Bit of a pain tbh but it does make me hold off sewing some seeds.
I ate my tiny packet of cadburys mini eggs CG ! Yum

Sorry your weather’s not been good for you bramble- I presume that’s unusual for them? Hope it improves x

There are a lot of flattened daffs in the garden so I’m going to collect some into vases so at least they can be enjoyed by me rather than the slugs

Enjoy your day peeps- whatever you get up to!

Good morning, up early this morning to take grandson to his work, then back home for another cuppa before picking up sons oldest to take him to get a bus which will be taking him to Fort Wille area where he will be doing an outward bound course for the week and if sons car isn't fixed I will need to pick him up when he returns, I am now thinking of getting a taxi licence now I think I will do a check on the inside of the eyelids not used to getting up at five nowadays. Have a pleasant day and smile
