Now at the lodge

This morning after I had fed the birds I decided to pick some blackcurrants and check the courgettes. Got the blackcurrants ready and them made an apple and blackcurrant crumble for Darren to enjoy when we are away.
The ‘praying hands ‘ hosta is flowering this year.
I finished packing and did a few chores then watched the Grand Prix with Darren and Tina. Then we left Darren to get back to work and look after the cats and came over to the lodge. We sat for a while and had a drink and I decided to go for a wander. One direction led to corn field and the lodges before that had a residents only sign to went no further.
So I walked back past our lodge and went a fair way in the other direction. There are Please Keep Off The Grass signs everywhere, I can understand that but it means you cannot get very near the lakes, interesting signs outside the ones that are for sale, the last photo I think.
We could see the ducks from our sitting room when they came to see what the grass had to offer.
I sat on the deck and did. Quick sketch, will endeavour to find a more interesting subject tomorrow!
We had been in the hot tub, had a shower and now having hot chocolate!

  1. I imagine Darren will appreciate the blackcurrants, but I doubt he’ll be eating the courgettes 😊
    It looks really nice at the lodge. It’s a real shame about all the keep off the grass sign. Just go on it to the lake and pretend you can’t read, or tell them you’re old and don’t understand 😂
    I think it’ll be good for you to have a rest and not be tempted to do jobs in the house or garden. The hot tub will be good too. Enjoy it all while you have the chance.
