sunrise and sunshine weekend

wow , lovely pictures San, like the daff with the pink trumpet, and the Brunnera Jack Frost. Your new feeding station is great as well. Yes make the most of the sun San, I keep going out for a while then coming in.

hi cinders thanx for lovely comments, its beautifull isnt it today, come in for a rest and put the joint in the oven for dinner, didnt want joe not having his roast dinner first day back :o))

Great pics Sanbaz, am sure you will have a wonderful break with Joe,....special times :)

Lovely photos, Sandra! The one of the birds reminds me that I saw a small flock of these on Saturday morning as I was returning home after accompanying my wife to work. I was coming down the footpath when all of a sudden 4 or 5 or 6 birds suddenly burst out of the trees & the undergrowth to my right & flew around me. I was able to catch a glimpse of them on a tree branch before they took off on their mad flight again! :-))

Hope you enjoy your time with your son. :-)) Our youngest son came over from Spain with his wife two weeks ago & spent 4 days with us. ;-)) It was good to see him again! My wife & I shall be returning the visit at the end of the month - again just 4 days! We will see our other son as well as my in-laws.

Enjoy yourself with your son Sandra - these are certainly precious days.

Your garden is looking very neat. The flower pics are really nice - I like the yellow daff/naricissus - I bet it smells nice too. Have a lovely day.

It is great to have them home isnt it Sanbaz.I have got Christopher till the 16th of April .He is in Wales at the minute seeing his girlfriend but will be back on Wednesday:-))

thanx judy, its special moments when they return home isnt it :o))
thanx balcony love the goldfinches, i get them but never seen them on the ground before, glad you got to see your son for a couple of days and will be nice for you to go to spain at the end of the month, we go to benidorm on the 4th may for a week and so looking forward to the rest :o))

hi mavis glad your enjoying christopher being home, nice he`s gone to see his girlfriend, joe isnt going down south to see his but may in summer being a longer holiday he said, i may let her stay here if she wants to visit him to, im a bit old fashioned that way but dont have a spare room lol, will see how they get on till then :o))

You have some lovely flowers blooming in your your garden San and the bird bath looks great. It nice when the children come home what ever their age. Enjoy the weather while it lasts, the forcast is that we are going to have a cooler weeek ahead. But then the warmer weather is appreciated more when it comes.

Lovely photos Sandra esp that first clematis. Is that Constance ? It's very nice anyway.
I'm glad you had a safe journey to fetch Joe home.

The gardebn's looking lovely San .Yep nothing like a bit of sun to be glad to be alive :o)))

Lovely pictures San, it's just great to have the sun shining, really lift the mood! Old fashioned, you and me both! Nothing wrong with that!

So pleased for you Sandra having your Joe back in the fold, remember the feeling well! your garden is looking great, your Dicentra is a little further on than mine, love the the pictures of the Goldfinches, have seen nothing but a fleeting glance so far, but your new Feedig station may entice them a little further.0)

Your gardens looking lovely and I enjoyed the outing pics.

thanx maggy glad you enjopyed the pics, yes im happy with my son home and hadnt brought washing home but have done plenty since he has been back and never stops eating lol, :o))

Lovely pics of the hills, and how gorgeous is that lamb? You have a fair bit of colour in the garden already. I love what you've done with the bird feeding station, San. I have the same sort and a mini-forest from spilt seed is growing in the border beneath it. : o (( ... Don't have the heart to move it as a Dunnock and a Wren hide in the greenery behind it and they flit in & out so fast. Good for you to see Joe again ... enjoy his company over the Easter break. : o ))

thanx shirley, glad you enjoyed the pics, the birds arent coming to the new feeder yet, but will give them a bit of time and if not will move further down the garden, but would like it to be close to house for viewing.
i was the same before with a mini forest beneath lol
love dunnocks and wrens so sweet. joe is great and i love having him home such good company, enjoy your easter to shirley whatever it brings :o)))

Lots of tidying in the garden, San! The new low wall is in, the pond is in too, just leaves a heck of a messy lawn and lots of plants to put back. Getting there, slowly! : o ))

sounds great shirley, cant wait to see it :o)) all .takes time but worth it.

I hope so, San! Have just brought 4 trays of plants home from Mums greenhouse, all grown from seed, so I'm very grateful to her for watering them! : o )

thats good of your mum shirley, it does well when someone looks after your plants when away doesnt it, im not getting an bedding plants etc till im back from hols in may, dont like to ask neighbour, though she wouldnt mind but has enough to do, i can wait :o) hope you enjoyed your break shirley.

We really enjoyed North Devon & Cornwall, San, can't believe we've been back a week already! Mum has 3 Tomato plants to put in a Gro-bag in her greenhouse as from today, it keeps her motivated and mobile walking down the garden path ... lol!

lol shirley, good on your mum for keeping herself going,
glad you enjoyed your break, it soon becomes the past once back, wait ages to go and before you know it, its all over.
years since i went to devon, lovely countryside though.
off to drop baz at the club now for his snooker lol then pop in and see johnny my eldest, not well, so will go check him out, enjoy the rest of your evening shilrey :o) x

Hope Johnny isn't too poorly. Your TLC will cheer him up, I'm sure. : o ))

thanx shirley, he wasnt to bad, just feeling sorry for himself again , but i stayed a while and chatted to him, also took some shopping with me as knew he wouldnt have much in.

I think Mums always take something when they visit their children ... until they're married ... then it's 'fend for yourself' now!' : o ))

lol very true shirley :o)
