I wrote some letters and then went out to post them and for a bit of a walk. There are a lot of snowdrops in the garden now but these look particularly nice nestled in the aubretia.
I called into Heron stores and then posted my letters and then walked back via a trip round the park. The temporary lakes are very popular with the gulls and some great reflections today too, so no apology for quite a few photos.
The pavements are blocked off in a lot of places due to new internet lines being put in so my walk back was a little longer than planned. My right leg is now causing me to limp on occasions which isn’t good, but use it or lose it as they say!
Tina had a little time to spare this afternoon and suggested we have a quick trip to Mappleton. We hadn’t thought it through as the weather is better and it is half term! We nearly got hemmed in when we were trying to get away but there was som much traffic in a small place! So we just had a bit of a drive round and when we were back in Hornsea there was a traffic hold up so
Tina took a narrow diversion. We stopped to look at the mere before we came home but didn’t leave the car!
Last night I finished the jigsaw, it was a nice one to do. I will pack it away tonight.
Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, which should probably be the mantra for every day in these difficult times.
The iris looks lovely. Are they related to orchids. They look similar.
ReplyDeleteI really like the first pic of the park. It looks like a proper lake. I can see why the wildlife is making good use of it. I’m sure it’ll be like a quagmire for a time once the water drains away. You might need your wellies if you walk on the grass.
You could have done without the extra walking being added to your journey. The leg is a real pain now, literally, but as you say you still need to use it. It’s just finding the right balance of exercise to rest that’s the problem.
Your trip to Mappleton sounded fun, specially for the Rev. Good job she’s a good driver.
Random Acts Of Kindness Day. Well I don’t think get too many of them around this way! But maybe I’m just being an old humbug 😊
The iris does look similar to an orchid but don’t think they are related. I love the dwarf variety, they are usually quite tall.
DeleteThe gulls were very happy to have nice calm water away from the rough sea!
Have done some pedalling to keep the legs moving without the impact!
