Gosh, how much more will Ruby grow? She'll be driving the car soon. Yes, a few of us are finding out of season things growing in our gardens, and in the wild too. Your lighting in the photos of Nostell Priory grounds seem to perfectly capture the ambience of the season. Good luck decorating. I've had a couple of wobblies lately ordering online, things not as they appeared to be in the pictures or descriptions. So, hoping the tin of Roses coming today will be of a size to take an 8" two layer iced cake, as it's being bought for the tin, which is tin not plastic, and not for the chocolates, but they won't waste!
Ruby is now fully grown. She’s like the tardis sometimes she looks tiny ant at other times much bigger. Roses tins do make good cake tins so hope yours is a good size. Fingers crossed for our wallpaper! I’m still trying to choose a photo to have made into an acrylic print
Aah, that top photo - blue sky is so beautiful, especially as we've been living in a cloud for about a week now... I hope you like your wallpaper when it arrives! Your comment about the 'tip' made me laugh and we too wish they were open again as we're finding more clutter as we're both here all the time at the moment!
Our tip is open, Belinda but you have to book an appointment and you have to list everything you are taking. You are not allowed to take anything that can be stores at home which is like the term ‘essential items’ highly subjective. The seem to be encouraging fly tipping.
The roses against a blue sky and the water photos are gorgeous. Oh, rhubarb up already? Your recipes look delicious, as always, I'm enjoying experimenting with them. Ruby has me smiling, she's such a big girl now. How marvellous that you are decorating, I wish I was. Yes, it's frustrating, but as you say many have it worse, especially in third world and war torn countries.xxx
I doubt that we will bee pulling rhubarb any time soon, Dina. Ruby ha grown quickly. They don’t stay puppies long do they? You’ll have to let me now how you tweak the recipes. I always tweak.
You are keeping busy despite not being able to go around where you would like be. Love seeing those blue skies. We had our first snow yesterday. The ground was warm enough that it didn't stick. Cheers.
Despite our freezing temps lately, one of my rhubarb plants has a leaf showing, and the Brown Eyed Susans are still blooming. I always hate to see cold weather arrive but I don't mind the break from gardening.
I hope those parsnips live up to expectations Sue. I will certainly be trying that chicken and leek crumble recipe. You certainly have had colder weather than us. My dahlia leaves only blackened last night. We were in tier 3 before the lockdown but emerged to tier 2. It's not made any difference to us as like you we're keeping a low profile. As you suggest though it's more inconvenience and frustration that we are living with. At least we do not have to worry about whether we will still have a job, paying a mortgage/rent or feed and clothe growing children.
Hopefully we will find out how the parsnips have done this week, Anna. I think until we have the vaccination we will keep a low profile. So many people are really suffering at the moment, it's something you can't plan for isn't it?

ReplyDeleteSnow is a possibility for us at the end of this week, Lisa which will be unusually early for us.

ReplyDeleteI do like that we have seasons, Dave. I don’t mind relatively cold if it is combined with bright and sunny rather than damp and dreary.
