Daughter No 1 came to visit for the day to celebrate Christmas, New Year and my birthday, all missed for one reason or another so, despite the hailstones, the rain and the hoolie blowing, we went to the beach for a brief walk.

M always looks after my 18 year old car and today she gave it a really good clean and it looks brand new!

The Hyacinths I planted in the Victorian glasses are all now in flower and the room smells amazing. I love how the roots are all visible
