The one with sunshine in it :)

Good evening

Firstly - thank you to all my lovely new followers - I've been to look at as many blogs as I can - blogger is being a pain and won't let me add any new ones to my follow list at the moment but I've got you all bookmarked so I can visit that way instead.

What a stunning day its been - wall to wall sunshine and blue skies.

The old saying 'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out' is certainly true - the May (Hawthorn) blossom is out and you definitely don't need a vest at the moment - unless it replaces a t-shirt ;)

Also growing  in my neighbours garden are lots of lovely elderflowers - I'm watching for the perfect picking day and then I shall be collecting them and turning them into cordial (I have her permission to take them whenever they are ready).

When I went to work this morning it was a lovely surprise to see our little town had grown flags overnight - all the high street was covered in UJ flags - so pretty - I'll take a picture next time I'm there with my camera.

It spurred me on to buy some for us to use over the Jubilee weekend and also for July when the Olympic Torch relay visits nearby;

I think this weekend its time to hunt out the bunting for the house and garden.

Now look at this picture;

Can you spot any wildlife??

What about if I zoom in to the bottom of the door ?

Can you spot Sid now? Yep Sid the Snake (grass type) is becoming a regular visitor to the garden - its just that he's camera shy - his tail if the best I've managed to snap so far! Hoping to catch him properly one day soon.

Lastly for tonight - another little ebay parcel - fabric for the back of the scatter cushions for Bertie. Oh yes the home on wheels has a name (well I use it) - Cuthbert the Caravan - Bertie for short. 

Anyhow new fabric - I saw it and couldn't resist a couple of FQ's;

Its still warm here - the doors and windows are still open wide. It great listening to the birds singing - hoping we might hear the owls later.

Have a good weekend all - the sun should be shining here still - there's lots to plant in the garden and I'm hoping MrVV might be persuaded to visit the car boot sale too. Oh add to that Eurovision and the promise of the first Pimms of the season - its going to be a good one :)

See you soon
