And The North Wind Doth Blow

Hello Friends!

and we shall have snow rain 

or so it is forecast.  I shall have to plan my walks carefully, but it is not easy to just go out between showers when you have carers etc calling as you have to be in for them.

This evening's walk was somewhat rushed and hurried too.  I don't do "rushed and hurried" very well these days.  Not wanting to sound like a broken record, I overdid it yesterday.  I think if I'd only gone up to get my prescription and come home, I would have been okay, but no, I had to do everything and then some. So, I slept all day today until 5:00 p.m. Mind, the brisk, northerly wind didn't make it a welcoming prospect to go out, so I held off in the hopes it would ease up.  Well, it didn't, and I went with the wind behind me going out but blowing hard and cold in my face on the way back.

On top of that, my phone battery was nearly flat so my photos are thin in the ground tonight too.  I had to save it for photos for my WWHM course.

It's a busy day tomorrow, so I don't know what time I will be able to get out, but if it is raining, I doubt I will go as I don't have suitable gear for heavy rain.  I do have a very good raincoat but nothing suitable for my feet.

Yesterday I made a quiche, it's the first baking of any kind I have done in a long time, having not been eating properly and relying on popty ping and ready meals.  It's Chickpea, Leek and Fresh Garden Herbs.

Here are the few photos I took this evening.

the Hawthorn is starting to open up


and shortly this stone hedge will be full of the pink spires of Foxgloves

Evening Primrose escaped from a garden?


A Vetch {need to identify it correctly}


Well, short and sweet tonight, I've got to do the blog housekeeping with yesterday's comments, run the dishwasher, put in a load of overnight laundry and then I can get some rest!

Until next time 💙🌷💙
