17th March: Ten Things of Thankful

Ten things for which I give thanks this week…

1 – In my personal Springwatch – the bulbs in the garden continue to flourish – the Daffodils are out, including some Soleil D’Ors and somewhere in the middle of this picture, a shy, Snakeshead Fritillary is about to open…

2 – on the subject of flowers, the local florist has a nice sign and a well-dressed shop..

3 – but not a patch on the wedding dress shop whose windows are framed by a mass of flowers on the outside and a cornucopia of ornamentation inside, between the wedding dresses…

4 – I have completed 10 out of 26 A to Z entries but I shall have some time this week to get seriously stuck in – I want to be free on holiday to read other peoples posts and not be writing mine lol!

5 – Barbara was finally persuaded that we should buy her a mobility scooter – as she said to her daughter, half the problem was not being able to accept that she was actually 79 years old, and such a device is entirely appropriate! I shall be picking it up tomorrow…

6 – Only 3 full working days before the holiday!

7 – It is my local town ‘s- Keighley Library live poetry group meeting tonight…

8 – I will make homemade Corned -Beef Hash when I get home – a new favourite of both of us…

9 – Planning to do some painting in the Netherlands…

10 – the weather today is very warm!

Wishing you all a great week

    People should not feel shy to use personal mobility aids. I see folks of all ages on them. Not to mention able bodied teens, multiple riders on one scooter etc.

    Beautiful displays of your real flowers and artificial flowers in shop windows.

    I can’t wait to see your new paintings.

    Happy holidays to you both.

      Thanks, Cai, I am sure that, like when you buy a new (to you) brand of car, you suddenly see them everywhere and that Barbara will encounter scooter folks everywhere!

    It is like when you join the league, your eyes are open to seeing more of your kind. 🙂
