I’m loving that we are still harvesting leeks from the allotment.
The lovely Mr S spotted a butterfly on the windowsill and caught this photo for me.
Heartbreakingly beautiful…… professional pianist Irina Maniukina playing Chopin (Aeolian Harp’ Étude, Op. 25, # 1) before finally leaving her home south of Kyiv.
Particularly poignant that Irina played Chopin, who left his homeland Poland as it (with Lithuanians & Ukrainians) rebelled against & was then crushed by the Russian empire.

It makes one a wee bit hopeful listening to and watching someone play Chopin at such a time of hopelessness.

Those leeks are cracking – they’ve stood the winter really well. Happy growing 🙂
