Morning all (look at me actually posting early for a change), I hope you've had a grand week, this was my week on
Well we have had another strange week, but the strangeness of it is also becoming somewhat normal. Both me and hubby are working from home still, with me only going in one day per week as part of the precautionary measures as the charity I work for continues to deliver to some of the most vulnerable.
Thankfully last weekend was glorious (most unusual for a bank holiday in the UK), so we set up outside, hubby made use of the time to do a little more silversmithing.
And I enjoyed crafting outside whilst hiding under an umbrella as I burn so easily.
We even stayed outside into the evening and sat chatting and enjoying the barmy warm evening and spotted the international space station come over not once but twice whilst we were sat outside.
I've continued to contact my Mum daily facetiming her, it has been great to keep in contact this way and I know it has helped keep her sanity chip in place over recent weeks.
Sunday was obviously Easter Sunday and again it was a mighty strange one, I remember Easters of old from visits to church to Easter egg hunts none of which we had on Sunday. However, it was nice to notice this lovely gesture on our walk on Sunday encouraging everyone to take an little egg on their walk.
I have continued crafting, apologies for the poor quality photo but this was taken very late one evening. Using a set of Papermania stacking boxes that I'd had forever.
A neighbour dropped this little gift off just before Easter, it was such a lovely gesture, she's recently had an op and said manipulating the boxes was good physio for her.
Me and hubby have enjoyed having breakfast at home together and I'm loving the summer berries that are available at the moment.
And today's walk (Thursday) the sun is beautiful and the skies are blue
If you fancy joining in pop a post together, pop back link up and we can come and visit.

I agree that this situation is starting to feel normal but for all that I hope we can go back to normal soon!! sadly it doesn't seem that we will....Those random acts of kindness are much appreciated I am sure. I haven't been out for a walk yet this week though the weekly shopping trip is on the horizon... take care and much lovexx
Wow, I nearly fell off my chair this morning! Great that you are so early! (Yes, I write mine the evening before too and then I post at midnight before going to bed.
look at you enjoying the lovely sun! We are still having 'British' weather here, but we will catch up with you, you'll see.
Your garden is a godsend, and the corner where hubby does his silversmithing is really nice.
Such nice gestures to put eggs out (and carrots?) for passers by and your neighbour Debbie with her gorgeous little box. You sure have lovely neighbours.
I love the books you made out of the gorgeous peachy paper. All very pretty. Well done.
Yes, Easter was a weird one. I won't forget this one in a hurry. And my birthday too as we were already in lockdown then.
I too phone my mum every day. She does not have a mobile phone so I can't do Facetime, but I phone her on her landline and we chat, like you do with your mum.
I'm so grateful for technology.
Have a lovely weekend. I hope the weather holds,
Hugs,
Lisca
So glad you are both keeping well. What lovely weather you have had compared with our dull and damp days. I keep reminding myself that we will be complaining about the heat in a month or so! It looks good to be sitting outside doing your crafting.
The video calls to family are a wonderful life-line aren't they. I have just spent an hour and a half chatting to my son Ben, and before that I was with my sister in Bournemouth. It sure makes thew world a smaller place.
The little basket of eggs was a lovely idea and the gift from a neighbour was kind too. This strange situation is bringing out the best in many folk. I hope the sun continues to shine for you this week. Kate x
