Last week everyone seemed to be talking about The Beast from the East, but so far we haven't had any considerable cold. In fact today was a very sunny day.
I enjoy Scandi noir, and found Betrayal by Karin Altegen to be a gripping thriller, though also very dark and disturbing.
I love snowdrops, they are so delicate and pretty. I also noticed that some of my snowdrops have been munched. It's too cold for slugs, and I haven't spotted any slimey trails, so not sure who the culprit is. That monster has also eaten my yellow crocuses.
Having heard about the coming frost, I have covered some of tulips and hyacinths , which my Mum planted last autumn. Hope they will withstand the cold, when or if it comes.
Running to school on Wednesday afternoon, I've spotted these birds on the roof of the old house in Market Square. For some reason this seems like their favourite meet-and-greet place, they are often sitting there in lines.
On Thursday I was working in the garden, taking photos of the toys we received for reviewing. A young black bird kept watching me from the apple tree. He was so curious as to what exactly I was doing.
The Moon was visible in the afternoon when the sky was still bright blue. I didn't zoom the camera, as I wanted to show both the rosehip and the Moon in one picture.
Our Saturday treat - a trip to Gregg's with Eddie before grocery shopping later. The sausage roll was straight from the oven and very hot. I warned you, Eddie!
Ahh snowdrops are lovely. I haven't seen any this year though :( #365
ReplyDeleteThey are taking over my garden at the moment. They spread like fire.
DeleteHa ha, love the sausage roll picture! That's a great photo of the blackbird. I like Scandi noir too and haven't read nearly enough of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah! The blackbird was so close, it was just watching what I was doing with such curiosity.
DeleteThe Beast from the East!! I hadn't heard that term but it certainly made me chuckle. I also love that you coveted the flowers for frost! I has no idea you were supposed to do that! #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Fee! I think they recommend to cover some of the plants, which are in tubs or containers as they can get frostbitten. Those which are planted straight in soil have better chances of survival.
DeleteI'm a Scandi Noir fan, but I would happily do without their weather! The birds seem to have good taste in houses - it's a pretty building.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind a proper winter with snow, rather than grey and wet like here. :)
DeleteEddie looks like he's enjoying the sauger roll despite the heat. I love the picture of the birds on the roof and the young blackbird #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, he always enjoys Gregg's, they do make a good sausage roll.
Deletegreat blackbird picture, and hope you managed to get the review photos you needed.
ReplyDeletelovely blue sky on your moon, and I like the fact you did not zoom in.
Ouch at the sausage roll.
Thank you, Elaine, I managed to take all the photos I needed.
DeleteLove the sausage roll capture! The blackbird looks like a welcome visitor, shame about your snowdrops though #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! The snowdrops are buried under deep snow today.
DeleteI really love snowdrops too - they are such dainty looking little flowers.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, but at the moment completely hidden under the snow.
DeleteI do love snow drops, hope not too many of them have been eaten! love the birds all lined up on the roof :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah! There are too many of them to be eaten, or should I say, were, as now they are buried under deep snow.
DeleteI love Spring purely because of the beautiful flowers it brings! I love Snowdrops & Daffodils! X #project365
ReplyDeleteI love spring flowers as well, they are always such a joy after the bleak grey winter.
DeleteI hope your plants survived the snow! There aren't many signs of spring round here and we have no flowers in our garden just fruit bushes and vegetable patches #project365
