This morning I actually went swimming, must be at least eight months since I have been. I still don't like anything about the facilities or the lane swimming. but it wasn't too bad and I will try and go a little more regularly. Last night I had seen the geese making their way onto the island in the park and this morning, as it was quite early, they were making their way off.

I came back home for a shower, had a chat with Tina, and then went off to town via the studio. Lucy, the work experience girl had painted a lovely coaster, I painted Scarborough on it for her, and took a photo because I am going to copy her idea!!

I collected my two bee coasters, which I am pleased with.

Walking back from town I saw these lilies growing in a small front garden. I don't think I have ever spotted lilies like this in a garden before, they are gorgeous.

Last autumn I bought a hand lawn mower so that I could mow the small lawn in the front garden. Up until now it has remained in the box, so decided to get it out, couldn't be too difficult!! It wasn't too bad and I assembled and used it.

The front lawn is a bit ragged but I think it will improve with regular mowing.

It's not raining yet so may go to the concert in the park this evening in aid of Armed Forces Day.
