Nearing the end of March

The sun has been out for me on this, my first week off on our rota for school.
The shelves were empty in the shops but they have started to put restrictions on the amount of items you can have, which is a fair thing to do.
 I have managed to sit in the garden....with some company of course!

On Monday I did manage a huge pile of ironing, put two loads of washing in and paired up the socks!

 I have also managed a bit of Gentle Yoga....
 I was lucky enough to receive these daffodils from my nephew and godson for Mothers Day.


 And so we settled down to our new routine. Hubby is working from home.....with help of course!
 He has made an office in the spare bedroom...
 I've made a Luna Lapin in the garden....

We have had some lovely sunshine but it is still a bit chilly in the shade....it is March after all!

We had to make room in the freezer for some bread so these chocolate puddings had to be eaten!
Then I discovered that you can get 3D animals to come and visit!
(Type TIGER in capitals in Google, scroll down and click on 3D Tiger, other animals are available!)
A tiger visited my Hubby at his desk!


I made store cupboard soup, lentils, barley, carrot, onion, celery, stock cube, pepper and salt and water, herbs and a bit of garlic salt....boiled away until cooked, doesn't look too appetising but was delicious and lasted us for three days lunches!
The garden continues to bloom....



On the day the schools closed I dropped off a few home schooling packs on my way home. I was walking back down a lane to my car and the sun was starting to set, it was a beautiful sight but also made me feel melancholy.


Before restrictions were put into place by the government we went to see my father in law in the home and then go and see his cats at his house. A very kind neighbour is feeding the cats and looking after the house for him.

 I have taken my rings off and they will stay off until this madness is over. No virus hiding under my rings!!


Then the news came we had to stay at home, only allowed out to get food and medicines, and one outing to exercise. 
So on Wednesday we went for a local walk, never saw a soul (this is not the case in some places where people aren't taking it seriously and crowding to tourists spots, even after the government have been given powers to disperse crowds.)










Yesterday I did some more gentle yoga in the morning (In the middle I had to go and rescue a blue tit that had come in through a window in the bedroom which was only open a few centimetres!) 
In the face of uncertainty and fear many people turn to humour. It is not because we make light of the situation but because it helps us get through it!

Yesterday we went for another local walk....









and I baked a cake!
and made a rainbow for the window.
Stay Safe every one.

  1. Beautiul photos as always. I feel as if I had done that walk with you. How lovely to have such much lovely countryside on your doorstep - we have the little wood but there are more people walking there now that the children are off school and whereas I rarely used to see a soul now I pass half a dozen little groups and wonder if I should give up on my normal routes. And now we are being told not to drive to countryside which we have in abundance a short drive away. There is much to be grateful for though as we do have a garden.

  2. Lovely photos. I always enjoy seeing your cats and your walks. It looks as if you are well organised for however long this is going to take. Glad you are both safe at home. Take care and stay safe:)

  7. You may have been feeling melancholy, but your post lifts one spirits with its beautiful images. I googled Tiger and have sent the link to my son so that Ben, my Grandchild, can invite animals to visit.
    Our schools closed this week to students other than those whose parents have an essential job. The stress for teachers to provide online learning immediately is gargantuan. A crazy world at the moment but we just have to keep smiling and positive.

  8. Tigers visiting, chocolate puds and a hand sewn rabbit, what a glorious post. I must do better with mine.
    Stay safe.
