A cat and a sunny spot
or a change, this weekend arrived with nothing written into my diary. It actually left me feeling slightly at a loss this morning – I seem to have had something planned every weekend for months, so not having to work around being at some particular place at some particular time felt weird. But I quickly…
Summer!
Ok, now it’s officially summer. Not because it was Brother’s birthday (and therefore the first day of summer) on Friday. Not because it’s been stinking hot the last two days. But because I went to the supermarket this morning, and guess what they had? Raspberries!!! Yay!!!! They were stupidly expensive, but who cares, the first…

Since I first learned about Ireland, when I think of it, I see that 3rd picture. I know this is Wales, not Ireland, but still…;-)
Even after all these years, I still find it slightly fascinating that someplace that feels as exotic as Wales has the same flowers that I have in my backyard (although mine bloomed about a month ago.) You have Texas flowers!!! 😉
Are those snowdrops in the sixth picture?
Aren’t they beautiful?
