The sun is still low in the sky but daylight hours are slowly lengthening. Since the loss of Rufus I haven't been out for a walk, he was the incentive I needed to get out on cold miserable mornings. But Sunday was a glorious day so I took myself out. I didn't do any of my favourite routes because it would have made me feel sad so I chose a road route alongside the fields. It was a nice walk in the sunshine. And today I joined a Heart & Sole group for a short walk.
I'm always impressed by Mother nature, she creates these darling little snowdrops, so delicate but they survive harsh winds, frost and snow.
I'm hopping between a few things at the moment, a bit of quilting, a bit of art, but mostly work on my Lake View dolls house which is taking soooo long. My current projects are making a TV and an armchair.
Tonight's tea was a jacket potato with beans and cheese and a dollop of branston pickle, always a favourite because it's quick and easy to prepare, and tasty. Another easy, quick and tasty meal is tomato soup with a Greggs vegan sausage roll, Iceland sell them to cook straight from the freezer. I think I will have that tommorrow.
I've just realised the winter clematis didn't flower, it looks ok but this is the first time it hasn't flowered in quite a few years. Perhaps I didn't prune it properly 😞

Hi Polly, I understand about your walks. I'm glad you were able to get out today and so wise to take a different route. You've had a big loss -- being gentle with yourself is important. Your dinner looks good. And I will look forward to seeing the Lake View dolls house -- and update or the end result!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie. I hope it won't be too long before I have something to post about Lake View house
DeleteI am sorry about your loss, but I am glad to read you are getting out for a walk. Your dinner looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle.
DeleteIt’s been too cold here for walking outside as usual. Glad you can still enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteI prefer sunny days, I can't do overcast!
DeleteI have a few homemade baked beans to eat up, not enough for a meal themselves, and I was wondering what to do with them. But thanks to your photo, now I know! I have a russet potato in the fridge and some grated cheddar too. They will all be my supper tomorrow night, thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of service Debra, I hope you enjoy your supper😊
DeleteWalking familiar routes without your companion is very hard so you were wise to take a different path. Heart and Sole sounds good!
ReplyDeleteIt is Janice, I think it will take a while before I can do a favourite walk.
DeleteI understand why you'd want to take a different walking path for a while. The cold weather here has been detrimental to my walks. I worry about slipping and falling. I'm excited to see your Lake View dolls house!
ReplyDeleteI have a lovely pair of wellies that I feel very confident in.
DeleteIt’s great that you got out for a walk, Polly!
ReplyDeleteSnowdrops are such a lovely reminder of nature’s strength.
Your dolls house project sounds fun.
That jacket potato with beans and cheese looks amazing! 😋
Thank you for your comments Veronica
DeleteSpring sunshine makes us healthy. Enjoy your walk with warm clothes.
ReplyDeleteThank you RC
DeleteI LOVE potatoes and beans. So yummy.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lost Wiggy, I didn't go in the back garden much at all. Still really haven't enjoyed it since. Sorry you lost your pup. They are such wonderful creatures.
Thank you Ivy.
