Thursday

I went for an early morning walk today and fortunately didn't see anyone while I was out.  

Of course that sounds anti-social under normal circumstances, but these aren't normal times, despite trying my best to treat day to day as 'normal'.

I spent quite a bit of time on the beach and walked round to the other cove as well.  

I found this unusual looking stone.

It looks like it was part of something once upon a time, but was heavy just like a stone/rock

There was even some sand on this beach.

It was just so peaceful and beautiful

I walked back home through the woods.

A lovely morning walk - I did about 2 1/2 miles.

Some more flowers in the garden are starting to show their beautiful faces.

Lovely tulips.

I realised I had caught a fly on the petal.  Definitely not beautiful, but interesting nonetheless 

Can anyone identify this plant for me please? 

I put up my butterfly yesterday.  We have had this a number of years now, but I've only just had somewhere to put it up.

A table arrived today for my sewing machines.  At last I am able to unpack them.

I am quite pleased with it.  Only basic I know, but it does the job and is quite sturdy.  In fact I have ordered another one to use as my cutting table.  It can then be folded up and stored when not in use.

The first thing I did was to make a mask - I know it doesn't have the protective properties as a proper mask, but I wanted something to be able to put on if required when I am out walking.  I have made it so I can insert a surgical mask between the two layers.  It has a nice tight fit.  So my latest glamour fashion accessory is.....

at the very least it might make anyone I see keep their distance...
