Do have an Gin
My lot have never tended to go in for Lenten Lunches, but are very heavily involved in providing & cooking food for the Homeless Shelter. We were also part of a group of Churches in Chesterfield providing an Emergency Night Shelter from November until the end of March

Home safe ‘n’ orf to me nest.
The way out involved going via Bedford, but I was only half an hour late, which given the 2-hour delays on other routes is not bad going.

So, the magnolias are out, including the tremendous ‘stellata’. The camellia’s are blooming. The Forsythia is a waft of bright yellow. A huge array of daffodils and tulips are in full flow as is the Mock Orange . … & now the Wild Cherry tree we planted ourselves is in full blossom … all 50’ of it.
It’s bright enough to blind a beggar and the temperature, despite the forecasts, is already 17° … 62° in real money.
I’m on my second cup of Earl Grey & sitting in the conservatory wondering about the upcoming bacon butties. Anyone want one ? … or more than one ??
Is this what they call a YARDARMM !!! ?

Morning all
Bacon butties ready
I am off to crafty group today with my alpaca cardi to play with
But before that I have to make a dough for pizza
I fancy a really well laden pizza that needs a knife and fork to eat the bits that fall off

Your garden Armitage?
So many pretty spring blooms
I love the magnolia
Here we are concentrating on growing stone and concrete this year - lots of weed inhibiting hard surface

It is indeed. We have the flowering cherry at the front, with 3 big Laburnum which will be a few weeks yet. Azaleas and Rhododendron are showing promise & our usual plethora of bluebells are shooting.
We are a riot of colour until the end of June. Then, soft-fruit apart, it goes a bit hedgy and a range of greens but little flower colour.

A beautiful spring garden then
Here our garden is an acre with the west third being a shelter belt
the middle bit more than a third has the old shed/cow byre/ hay loft/peat shed/ass and cart store all in one building west of the cottage and the cottage with drive big enough for several vehicles
the east bit has a number of fancy trees
To the south of the cottage is a large - very large south facing garden that is going to be redone in our style from autumn on
Escalonia hedge gone mad and barren apple trees will go to the great chipping machine in the sky via our chipping machine and the whole garden opened up with no pointless hedges in the way

Some of us have blood slightly less liquid than others do
In fact I have blood that would be solid if I let it be so!

That’s me Officially Knackerated fer the rest of the day
I went to Lidl after the hairdresser - It was the last day for me to get £10 orff a £40 shop, courtesy of The Sunday Times
The place was heaving
The Checkout was heaving
I couldn’t find the voucher after all had been rung through
The queue behind me started to get abit twitchy
I was getting flustered/mortified by turns
Assistant said that she would put my bill on hold & I could move to one side & try to find it
Emptied my handbag* out onto the packing shelf
*Handbag would hold a small dog
Swore under my breath
Found it
If there izzan Large Medicinal going, I would be very grateful

Thank-you Fishy
I also met a recently widowed old lady , whose late husband spent a lot of time in the next bed to my father in Orsepiddle so there were tears & Hugs anna 15 minute minor obstruction in the fresh produce aisle
We should have chosen the Middle Aisle of Delights, as there’s more room there…

I do so like to be a disappointment. So much better than meeting people’s expectations.

I hope that people never have any expectations of me behaving well
Poor chatelaine
Do Lidl not know you are to be treated like royalty?
I think a massed* appearance of cellarati arriving and educating them about your status would be useful
- Mass is what I have plenty of!

Absolutely. I think they should offer compensation for the stress caused. This might just be acceptable:
