Morning Bluesky
After a stormy night, a dull looking morning. Yesterday's news that Devon has had rain every day so far this year. Came as no surprise.
Have a great Thursday everybody

Fridge freezer defrosted, washed out and turned back on to chill.
Now that's out of the way, just the big freezer to tackle.
Narcissus Tete a tete. Several mini yellow flowering narcissus. Dotted with raindrops
Good Morning Bluesky
A still morning after a wet and windy night. The local weather forecast is teasing Saturday might be a dry day. Given how much rain there's been so far this year. I'm not exactly hopeful.
Have a great day everybody

On a wet afternoon. What's better than being cuddled up on the sofa with a good book and the dog

Four short yellow crocus. Infront of three taller, purlple crocus and a mass of daffodil foliage. A brown, partly leaf covered apple can be seen next to the yellow crocus. Picture taken in my small orchard.

A muddy but dry morning so far. A much better start to the day than forecast. Even the sun is trying to break through the clouds.
Have a great Monday everybody

A comfortable win for England against Wales in the rugby. It's sad to see just how poor Wales' game continues to be.
I was surprised to see so many empty seats at Twickenham. I had read about poor tickets sales by WRU. I wonder if that was part of the reason behind it.
A much tighter game for GB's curling team. They win 6-4 against the USA. Guaranteeing their place in the semi finals.

In the garden this week. Top L-R Dark pink Hellebore, yellow crocus, pink Osteospermum. Main. Yellow crocus Mid R Purple Crocus Btm R Pale pink Hellebore with dark red spots on it's petals.
Life is slowly returning to the garden . The first flushes of colour can be seen.

Just in from Max's walk. After yesterday's rain. The stream that run's through the village is a raging, brown torrent.
Have a great weekend everybody.

Several white Primula flowers dotted with raindrops. This clump of flowers stands out stakly from the rest of the brown coloured border.

A showery morning after a night of heavy rain. Luckily I was able to walk Max between showers.
Now time to face the ironing and watch the curling at the Winter Olympics.
Have a great day everyone

Morning Gerry.
Have a great day too ๐
France certainly dominated that first half. I donโt think Ireland would have expected to have been on the back foot so much.

I'm glad you liked them. Here are a few more that are currently flowering in my orchard.

The Six Nations Trophey, adorned with black ribbons of this year's sponsor, Guinness.
The first Six Nations match is tonight. France against Ireland.
My passion for rugby started back in school. I even played for the school team as hooker. An unusual role for someone only 5'4". But I was quick on my feet and reliable in getting a ball out of a scrum.
