And, we’re back. Again. For the time being anyway.

It’s been another cold and fairly miserable week. Apart from a nice day on Saturday, its been cold and blustery with drizzle and rain. Not much fun. The weather persons are suggesting it might get warmer and sunnier this week. Let’s hope so.

Relatively quiet week – the weather has been cold and cloudy. And, since we have to leave the door to Penny’s workroom open to allow Miss Daisy unhindered access to the great outdoors, that room is also cold and it seeps through the rest of the house. Time for some warm, sunny weather please.

And, we’re back! A great few days in Felixstowe (much to our surprise) and a new addition to the family. It’s been an action-packed couple of weeks since we saw you last.

Boy, have we had wind this week. And I am not talking about me! No damage as such that I can see from the confines of my study upstairs but, as I look out at the rain which is slashing down, I can see that the bench which sits on the Green in front of our house has been blown over as has the sign to the mushroom farm just up the drive behind us. I guess we should count our blessings – we’ve not had any more snow!

Well, that was a change I wasn’t exactly expecting. We had Spring followed by Autumn and then Winter returned, all in the space of a week. We missed Summer altogether. After last week’s glorious sunshine and wonderfully acceptable temperatures, this week has been cold bordering on very, very cold (for us), quite breezy and we had hail and snow on Thursday and Friday. I just hope the Greengage blossom in the orchard, always the first to show, doesn’t get hammered by the cold and wind (heaven forbid we should get a frost) as those are the most delicious of the plums we get.

It’s been a splendid week. The weather has been pretty much excellent – clear(ish) blue skies and warm temperatures with lots of lovely sunshine. As my alter ego Larry David would say, it’s been pretty, pretty, pretty good.

20 March 2022

Well, it’s been a decent enough week. The weather has been (mainly) pleasant – warm and sunny, apart from the daylong downpour on Wednesday. Spring feels tantalisingly close! Or, at least the blossoms in the garden would suggest so.

Those of you of a sensitive disposition might wish to avert your eyes now. This post will, unfortunately, include several references to the “C” word. And, I am not talking about our incompetently inept government, although the “C” word would certainly apply to most members of the cabinet and especially to the prime minister. No. This is the week that Covid arrived in our household!

6 March 2022

It’s been a great week! Apart from the weather. We’ve had visitors visit, ventured out on a couple of outings and consumed copious quantities of food. What could be better than that? Perhaps the weather could have been better.
