Good mornooning everyone.

As if I wasn’t already confused about days of the week... yesterday was a Public Holiday in the UK. We normally have a Public Holiday on the first Monday of May for May Day. However, that got moved to Friday for VE Day.

So Public Holiday Monday was on a Friday which felt like a Saturday because the weekend had started. My brain now thinks it’s Sunday... probably ??

Well good morning! I hope you get to enjoy your long weekend.. ( it will keep your brain exercising at least ?) hubby and I are going to help my sister move a travel trailer this morning. My niece has served four years in the navy and gets to come home in the end of June so sister is planning on getting her her own space available if she wants it...

Good evenooning all.

We have been enjoying a few days of decent weather. It all goes downhill on Sunday, so we will enjoy it while we can.

This morning was chores day. Daughter and I cleaned the house while Son and JoesDad shifted a ton of dirt into a skip... the debris from creating the pond.

This afternoon our road had a “Not A Street Party” for VE Day. We have to social distance, so the idea was that we all had an afternoon picnic in our front gardens where we could chat with our neighbours.

Our house is set back from the road and we shae a driveway with the houses either side, we have about 2 square yards of front garden, so we set up a picnic table and chairs on the drive so we were nearer the road and our neighbours used their lawns.

Everyone decorated the front of their property with flags (I printed mine from an image on he internet :D)

I baked scones and we ate those with a glass of white wine. It was really good to be able to chat with our neighbours in the afternoon sunshine. I think it did everyone a power of good to talk to different people :)

What really made my day was hearing a cuckoo calling. We have lived in this house since 1999 and I have never heard one here before. It has definitely been a day to remember :)
Sounded like a wonderful day!

Today is another glorious sunny and warm day. Daughter’s car has a battery flatter than a pancake, so that needs a jump start when we can get it out of the garage. The skip males it hard to get anything alongside it right now, but it’s not exactly urgent. Daughter is insured to drive my car so she took that out on her travels to buy groceries this morning.

All this talk of winter. Today it’s 23C/75F and really lovely.

We have been for a walk along the towpath (the path used by horses towing barges in days gone by) of the River Medway which passes through our town.

There was lots of birdsong and plenty of wildflowers. The buttercups dominate, but the foxgloves were nearly out and there was plenty of red clover too. The white blossomed trees are Hawthorn; this flowers in May and it’s also known as the May Tree :)
