The First Warm Day

Hello Lovelies,

how was your weekend? Mine flew by in the blink of an eye. 

The weather on Saturday was warm and sunny...really warm! Lunch was salad and jacket potato with cottage cheese.....it has to be THIS farm's cottage cheese....it's so much nicer than any others I've tried.......

 As you can see I'm still reading library books about wonderful places to walk.

But this weekend was full of family commitments so no great walking adventures could be embarked upon. Still, there was time for a short solo walk around my usual footpaths.

I love the crocuses in a neighbours garden............

How many times have I showed you lovelies this stile? Quiet a few I'm sure.............

and this path beside the field of Highland cattle..........

It was so sunny and warm the cows were having a rest............

and a little further on the rams had retreated into the shade.............

I saw my first Celandine of the year.........

and it felt so cheery as I wandered along the roadside.........

The daffodils are just starting to bloom............

and it was lovely to be outdoors without a coat...........

The red brick contrasted beautifully with the clear blue sky...........

and the smallest pony was waiting by the gate to say hello...........

Snowdrops are still flowering by the church gate..............

and wild garlic leaves are sprouting in the little patch of woodland behind it.............

welcome back Mr Warm Sun............

Thank you for making the world wake up from it's winter slumber ( and for drying my washing).......

It really was a beautiful day. I even squeezed in another short walk at twilight it was so pleasant.

As the sun set I spotted the first star and made a wish...............

Let me zoom in so you lovelies can see it more clearly..........

 It's something I have always done. Like making a wish when you blow out the candles on your birthday cake. Of course you can't tell anybody what your wish is, or it won't come true.

But mine is very simple, always the same, no money or material things are involved.

 On Friday it was exactly five years since I started this bloging journey.

Happy birthday dear blog.............

I do hope I will be able to carry on writing and sharing in this space for many more years to come. And I hope you wont mind if I repeat myself sometimes.

Thank you for all your many thousands of wonderful comments over the years.
