Yesterday we had gale force winds - again - accompanied by several sleet and hail showers. Slippery, icy roads everywhere.
I wasn't feeling too good anyway. Generally tired and a couple of dizzy spells, so I had already decided to let Hospice know that I wouldn't be going in this week.
So now I have another Wednesday off.
The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the wind has dropped.
I have just taken this photo from the back patio.
Shame the neighbours' "Stalag 13 style" collection of sheds spoil our view of the castle though.
The lawns and hedges very look neat and manicured. I mowed my lawns without the grass box a few weeks ago. Does your neighbour keep racing pigeons? One can never have enough sheds or polytunnels. I am after another polytunnel.
ReplyDeleteThe lawn is mostly moss and is very lumpy. The beech hedge is cut back once a year and just goes to sleep for the winter.
DeleteThose sheds appear to house a collection of boys toys. Lots of noisy things on wheels.
Shouldn't your last sentence read: "Shame the neighbours' "Stalag 13 style" collection of sheds spoils our view from the castle though" ? (Wrong preposition - judging from the extensive grounds you enjoy).
ReplyDeleteOops. Thank you teacher.
DeleteI just see green!! Green soothes my soul.
ReplyDeletePerastika...as they say here. Get over that lethargy and fast
Lots of green here. Plus lots of mud!
DeleteI am due a check up at the GP surgery in April so perhaps they can sort me out. Probably just need my Thyroxine dose increased.
"back patio" Does that mean you also have a front patio, or maybe at the side or on the roof?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of someone who moved to the south of England, whose mother said "... and her back kitchen is in the front room".
DeleteOK then, the patio out the back. Gosh, you Yorkies are so pedantic 😏
DeleteActually, our back kitchen is at the front now you come to mention it.
Lovely view though sheds or no sheds.
ReplyDeleteComing originally from a sprawling West London council estate, I really appreciate our view now.
DeleteWhat is the purpose of that beech hedge?
ReplyDeleteWe inherited it with the house and garden. It seems to have been planted around the edge of a raised area that was originally used as a tennis court. We keep it because the blackbirds like to nest in it.
DeleteSo lovely to see green as far as the eye can see. We are still all white. At least I won't be cutting the grass any time soon!
ReplyDeleteAs Graham says, we must play the Glad Game!
DeletePlay the Glad Game. The sheds are not 2 metres away and 20' high. Sorry about the mixed measurement formats. I'm bi-lingual.
ReplyDeleteI still struggle to visualise things in metric. When I visit the GP and they ask for my height and weight I give it in imperial measurements. They roll their eyes and have to do a quick conversion.
DeleteIt almost looks like summer out there!
