This afternoon I have my Pilates lesson. I really value them as it’s the same teacher I’ve had for two years now, so she knows me well. :clap:

I was thinking that one of the things I miss about my Friday night pub visits is that little squirt of perfume before I set off. Inspired by you I will have a squirt anyway. Thanks!

Just needed a few vegetables to tide me over the weekend, particularly fancied some asparagus for an Easter treat but thought it was a little early for British Asparagus. Using binoculars to look out of the bedroom window I can check the queue for Tesco and it was beyond ridiculous so thought I'd go to Lidl instead. That queue was even worse. Then I remembered a little local shop that I rarely use as it doesn't have a great selection and the vegetables usually look a bit sad and tired. Nipped along there, crate upon crate of beautiful fresh seasonal vegetables on the pavement outside, one person inside currently being served, one other person waiting outside! I picked up new potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, a Savoy cabbage lemons (guess what for !) Then it was my turn to go in and there was a bunch of Wye Valley Asparagus, just waiting for me to take it home, stand it in some water in the fridge and eat it on Easter Day.
Cue happy smile!20200409_131007.jpg

That's great, @Candy. I have been using our local shops a lot as well, as they seem to be getting their supplies though just fine so far. Most of them are offering a "phone and collect" service which works well.

I love that you can see the queue in Tesco's with your binoculars!!

And look -- that Aspagus is from the Wye Valley, right by me :)

Oh yes, so it is! According to the label it's the sandy soil and south facing slopes that produce some of the earliest UK asparagus. I shall think of you when I eat it, and raise a little glass of something chilled and white!:*

Silas rang me, for a chat and told me that for the first time ever he had heard a woodpecker in an old tree over the road from them . I mentioned to him that we hadnt seen the Canada Geese flying overhead , they live by the upper reaches of the east Looe river and usually fly over in their amazing V formation to the moors to graze before returning home again . Silence for a moment , then he said , Maybe its because they are on lockdown and cant leave their place of residence , bless xx

On one of our walking paths, the frogs are starting to spawn I really don't know how they survive year to year, as they lay it in puddles no more than an inch and a half deep, which dry up, freeze and turn into nothing but mud. They're mud right now, rather than water. But, still, the frogs are spawning.
Squidge saw one of the frogs jumping and ran towards it, so called her back and put all the Labs on lead to get past. Squidge still super excited, trying to snuffle out all the froggies.
Willow saw one by her foot and couldn't have looked more disgusted if she tried, picking her foot up ever so gingerly and carefully placing it waaaaay away from the slimy monster :giggl:
