Book sale and evening walk.

 Yesterday evening I tried to sort the words in the jigsaw into some sort of order, on a separate board.

Today we have started piecing them together!
This morning Tina was down to do a session at the Christian Aid week book sale, but she had double booked so I took over from her. She was there at the start and a robin landed on one of the boxes.
I did a couple of hours before have a drink and nd heading home.
Walked back along the river path.

I didn’t do a great deal this afternoon, did water the garden early today. After dinner Tina suggested going for a walk. We went to the loch we found the other day then walked about a mile along a trail and then back again. This one was a woodland rather than river walk, but started by the loch.




Some of the rocks were green and almost luminous!


Funky fungi
And amazing trees growing from a fallen tree.
I pulled two saplings, one beech and one rowen, in water for now and hopefully planted tomorrow if the new pots arrive in time!
We were home in time for me to get changed in time for Eurovision.

  1. What a nightmare puzzle! Good job you two have plenty of patience. It’ll look good when it’s done though.
    The weather didn’t look too bad for the book sale, and a few punters by the looks of it. They do say people come back as robins, so it may have landed on a book it owned previously ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s worthwhile doing something like that when have such a lovely walk to look forward to on the way home.
    The woodland walks you go on are just as nice as the river walks. It’s not quite the same when I walk to town each day ☹️ I love to see all the lilies in the water like that.
    The gnarly old tree looks really good, and that green rock really jumps out at you. I love the fungi too. I even had a book to say which ones were edible and which were poisonous. I was still too chicken to try them though ๐Ÿ˜Š
    More saplings, you’ll be overrun soon. Handy though for when you start giving the bonsai talk……and then lessons ๐Ÿ˜Š
    Enjoy Eurovision. No doubt we’ll be getting lots of “nul point” ๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. We had a few customers at the boot sale and one or two generous donations. It is on for four days in total and hopefully will make a good sum of money for Christian Aid.
    We are spoilt for choice with walks here, but today’s one needed a drive before we started, so not one I would do from home. It was a very interesting walk, always one thing to see which is fascinating.
    Eurovision is running pretty true to form so far, quite a few operatic sort of voices this time but the usual whacky ones as well.
