So this was Saturday.


I'm just loving the colour that is starting to appear in my garden.  


Pretty bluebells



Pink blossoms




Purples



Whites


A vibrant orange poppy


The rockery bank is really starting to come alive with plants.



I wonder if this is the same oil beetle I saw the other day?  I doubt it.  Busy chomping away on a blade of grass.

I cleared two round bins full of nettles today.  My arms are currently letting me know just how much I pulled, they are stinging and prickling away!  Doesn't matter how careful I am, I still get stung.

I planted out some of the courgette plants, and watered the rest of the seedlings and took notes about how they are all growing.  Tomorrow I need to put more earth in my potato bags, as I noticed this evening they have really grown the last couple of days.  I also discovered that some of the peas are starting to sprout in the very top garden by the compost bins, which is wonderful to see.

The sky was atmospheric again this morning on my walk.


I walked up along the cliff and then down to my local bay.


I didn't go for quite as long a walk today as I wanted to get home in time to phone my Dad in NZ.


The tide was a long way out this morning.


Tomorrow morning I plan to get up extra early as I want to drop an 'Easter' rock off at a house up the road where I know they have a little boy, and then the rest down our road.


I painted these today.  


Happy Easter 2020 wishes on the back.  

Hopefully it will brighten the day of whoever finds them.  I won't hide them too much as I want them to be found tomorrow.

Last night I finished my little rag dolls


They now have hair and shoes.

  1. I can't believe how much colour you have in your garden already. What a lovely idea to paint the rocks, I'd love to see the boy's face when he found them. The dolls are super sweet as always and their dress fabric is so pretty. xx
