I went for a morning walk today as afternoons, especially in the weekend, really are not good.
The pond is lower than ever!
Through the woods the sunlight dapples the greenery.
An old brick building.
Usually I would have gone closer to explore, but for some reason I didn't this morning, will have to do so another time.
Sunlight glittering on the sea, so beautiful.
Honeysuckle along the track, smelt gorgeous.
Ships - giants compared to the tiny boat in the right foreground
Calf feeding.
Looking down on one of the bays, the water was so clear.
A Cruise ship.
The rose bush in my front garden is just looking more spectacular each day.
A slow worm in my greenhouse.
Berries
Pretty flower.
The gooseberries are getting big - so much earlier than in Hertfordshire.
I planted out some more plants today and cut back and dug out some of the giant parsley type plant... the guinea pigs aren't overly fond of it, and I decided it was taking up valuable growing space in the raised bed.
I did a bit of sewing in the morning after my walk, making another little top and skirt for the Mix and Match wardrobe I am making.
I also stitched another bear and stuffed him this evening and sewed him together.
Tomorrow I think I am going to do nothing! I feel a bit in the wars tonight. I've been sick - I don't think my dinner agreed with me this evening, it wasn't particularly nice. My body hurts all over, and my left hip in particular is giving me grief. Goodness knows what has set that off.
My right eye is also giving me a bit of bother, so I have had to start using the night drops again, but I think I am going to have to use the day ones as well, as it isn't getting any better.
So time to rest! Difficult when I know there is so much to be done.
Some lovely views and, as you say, the gooseberries seem very early (I am thinking of my parents who lived on the North Welsh border).
ReplyDeleteYes normally I am picking them to make jam around June/July time.
DeleteSorry to read you are not feeling good, hope you feel better soon. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a truly lovely spot.
ReplyDeleteThe doll reminded me of when my daughter turned five and we gave her a doll, with a complete wardrobe that I had made for her. It had taken me ages to make (I am not a great sewer) but she got so much enjoyment out of it.
