Happy May Day!....or not, depending on where you are. Nothing happens up here but in Oxford, where I grew up, thousands of people would gather by Magdalen Bridge to listen to the choir sing from the tower at 6am. Most had been to a ball the night before.Seemed a perfectly normal thing to do to me but when I moved to London all those yeas ago,I realised it was fairly unique happening. Memories!
The last 6 squares of the month.
Can you guess what the first one is? The second, cigar rubbish, some sweet wrappers from the staff room - yes, I had to eat them first! My friend from Buckinghamshire, the village where I lived for 6 years as a stepping stone beweeen London & Skye came & stayed with us to look for a house here. I took a day off to be a support & have a nosy ;) Finally, some seed sewing is taking place! And on the 3rd day of looking, a house was bought! Well, the long process was started. It deserved a toast - the best of luck to you!
Another month gone. I'm surprised that the squares have become more of a diary recently, perhaps because sometimes when faced with a simple 3"x3" committment I can find only a physical reminder of what I've been doing that day to use, perhaps influenced by some of the wonderful journals out there in blogland made from the "Remains of the Day". That's a great title of a class, isn't it? & I've enjoyed seeing some of the videos, can't think of any links really, except Jo Reimer had a video.(in the blog roll.)
The garden is certainly coming to life, along with the weeds! Lots of rain recently & a bit of sun with some stunning rainbows. I need to make some time to finish off the winter clear up (yes, in May!) & carry on with the seed sewing. We do have a couple of weeks grace up here, but any later & the shorter season will mean things don't ripen. I'll do what I can do.
What do you think has eaten my beautiful Fritilaria? :( Earwigs?
Not much light in some of these pics, sorry.
