Magnolia

At last the weather is warmer.

Saturday's personal goal was a 30 second handstand in the garden on my new paralettes.

Then a trip to the allotment. We gave the shed its annual coat of paint. It's another attempt to make the allotment look pristine for the forthcoming year, and it looks like there are many other allotment holders with the same idea.

Our daily exercise was a local walk which included a visit to the local co-op. We decided there only needs to be one of us inside the shop (it helps everyone maintain their physical distance). I sat outside like a faithful dog waiting for its owner's return.

The council has stopped collecting recycling (not enough staff) and the tips are shut. We got up early on Sunday and took ours to the local communal recycling bins. They are already pretty full, and I don't suppose it's gong to get any better in the next few weeks.

Then some gardening things (planted some seedling and made some more paralettes for a local friend). After a lunch, we took a walk into Hangleton.

The garden is beginning to look great; tulips are in bloom, the daphne is flowering and smelling beautiful, the echium is going to be great this year, the peony will be in flower next week. There will be more photos soon!
