30 April 2023

Went for a walk by the river. The small of wild garlic is amazing. We also saw some Swans, most of whom seemed to be asleep.



29 April 2023

Quick catch up with the news. There has been an outbreak of conflict in Sudan between two rival generals. The situation in Khartoum is pretty grim. Of course, British nationals were the last to be evacuated and there are still 25 NHS doctors trapped (clue - they're not white).

Went for a walk in the village second 11 were playing cricket, and we met Super Noodles, a village band, practising at the pub.




28 April 2023

Great to meet up with my Friend Paul in The London Bridge. He has suffered from long covid to over two years. We had a wonderful chat.

Bluebells in our garden.

More gardening. The weather this week has been mostly fine and sunny. Able to sit out and drink a glass of alcohol-free beer with the next door neighbour.

I'm rewilding the front garden. Not sure if the neighbours like it.




15 April 2023

We went for a walk by the river and Susie tried out a neighbours' tractor. Final pic shows a goose resting.






13 April 2023

Better weather and time to get on with gardening. As usual, I was joined by a friend. Not a great pic, but the zoom on my smartphone camera isn't great.

11 April 2023

Pretty miserable weather today, but the rhubarb has come up. Usual stuff still going on. Strikes by junior doctors for decent pay. Culture war crap attacking trans women. Struggled with Wordle today.



10 April 2023

Easter Monday. Heavy rain most of the day. Headed back late afternoon. Good chat, music and food. Grim going on the M62 but took it easy.


The view from the flat. You can see Castle Hill in the distance.

9 April 2023

Headed off to Huddersfield to see my friend Adrian in his flat. We went on a tiny pub crawl to a couple of pubs. The locals were very friendly.

MIL with Molly. We headed home after brunch


7 April 2023

Good Friday. Off to the MIL's to meet up with family and Ralph the dog. Nice takeaway curry. Lovely sunset taken from the garden


4 April 2023

Yet another Wincle walk with Peter before he goes away on his Eurorail tour. Great weather, good walk and excellent pint!

Wild garlic is spreading in the garden!

No, it's not an April fool.  I don't do this often, but it was time for a bacon butty!
