On the ride home
When I was eight or nine, my Granny went to Austria and brought me a lovely wooden bracelt with paintings of flowers. It no longer had the elastic threaded through but I do still have the pretty wooden beads. 
In the bag with the beads were a collection of buttons some of which also came from my granny.
The sun shone this morning! The beautiful book I was given last week had 99 words for rain and one for sun.Here it is. 
Sending love to all my Dear Readers on this Valentine’s Day.
We can’t believe the growth and the beauty of our Amaryllis!
Equally, the beauty of these birthday present chocolates has amazed us. They look like little planets. The company’s strap-line is “A Collision of Art & Chocolate.”
And more, a remarkable birthday card which opens to be a drum kit!
Today Daughter no 2 and her daughter, LiveWire no 3 went to see The Nutcracker at The Royal Ballet and Opera House in London and this evening we have been to see the livestream of the same performance. It was wonderful and I love the idea that, despite being hundreds of miles apart, we have just shared the ballet experience together.
Today too, I remember my wonderful Dad who died on this day in 2004 after a very hard nine months and his final, even harder ,17 days in St John’s Hospice in Doncaster. where he, and I, were extremely well looked after with love and understanding.
I was back at singing this afternoon! Joy! A friend at choir brought in some `Christmas cards to sell, made by his partner and they are really beautiful. I thought you might like to see his words on the back too.
This is one of four lovely designs.
20% of each card sold will go to ShelterBox
I went down to the lottie for the first time in a week (chief cook and bottle washer, nurse and physio and a chest infection to boot!) and collected courgettes and new potatoes which we had for tea tonight. I was somewhat dismayed to find that the broad beans had rust and it is a decimated crop. I did get a few but not enough to last the best part of a year as we usually do. The flowers are on another plot and I loved the colours
There was a black cat eyeing me from its place on the wall.
Our lovely neighbour called round to check on us and to bring me a little gift. She had been to Krowji, our local arts complex and a had met a very interesting artist, a photographer Paul Sanders from whom she bought this delightful little flower in a frame. I love it.
Our Broad Bean crop is looking promising
Our allotment neighbour has a lovely Lavender border., loved by the bees.
This is a self sown Poppy and it is glorious.
To accommodate the 6m high sculpture of a Vixen (no longer a Fox,) next door, a couple of branches had to be removed from their tree. This has had a most serendipitous result for us which we discovered yesterday. From our little front bedroom, we can now see the setting sun slipping into the sea and disappearing – such joy!
