Great views, flowers and sailing ship. This dry weather is great for getting out and about but I agree the garden could do with some rain.

Bravo for you self-control and happy belated Easter! I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures from your festivities. It's always nice to see the individual spins people put on holidays.

I would have loved to see a photo of your hair all fluffed up! LOL! I caught my breath seeing your tall ship.. I just love those.. that one was built the year before my birth! OLD! LOL! The ship was actually "steaming" by as it's not under sail. :-) And yes she'd be impressive under full sail!!

Could have just visited your part of the world! And what a beautiful part of the world it is. We stayed near home, too much traffic on the roads when it is a Bank holiday. Enjoy your second holiday week, maybe it'll bring a few showers for your garden. Ours are back at school tomorrow, just emptied schoolbags to see if there was anything urgent. There wasn't, just a lunchbox with green bread crusts. xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-75020553768559779862017-04-17T17:08:02.321+01:002017-04-17T17:08:02.321+01:00I'm very impressed with your no pudding stance...I'm very impressed with your no pudding stance, well done you.

You live in such a lovely part of the country, even on a grey day! We had hot sun yesterday so I spent Easter sunday up at the allotment (it's looking very tidy now, ready for sowing) but today we have grey. And a splash of welcome rain. Love that you still have violets and cowslips, they're all done in my garden.

Ours has been good (about to serve dinner in a few minutes here) but not relaxing at all for me, what with a meal to cook and a husband who can't walk much yet. But I'm of course very thankful for his health, and everyone's, and our good life.
