Thank you for sharing your latest tune, Sophie.
And how apt is its title for this sunny Bank Holiday weekend?!
We thought we'd get in quick before the flurry of blog activity that is bound to occur on Sunday. After Mago's startling Sunday Music on a Saturday he returned to the normal Sunday showing last week, so I expect more of the same tomorrow. Ms Scarlet has all but promised to publish something tomorrow too (it was too misty to do so on Wednesday, apparently). And what if Mr Peenee and Dinah make another appearance??
And then, of course, there are the blogging stalwarts who show up every day come rain or shine (except when they're on holiday - remember to fill in the Holiday Rota!): Jon, Mistress Maddie, and Mr Tonking.
Anyway, in the absence of anything more interesting, may I present the photos of Bertie Bitey on the beach (which I didn't get around to last week), my Little Red Bush, and something from this morning.
20th May
Oh. It's only Bitey
Not Beaky on the End-of-the-Line
Escaping the hoards (there are at least three behind that furthest groyne) up the secret steps
You again?!
Today, 27th May
From Madam's Lane (well, just over the hedge), down to the allotments, then up (eventually) to Cromer lighthouse
And here's a not-so-old favourite to round things off (thank you, Jon!): Holiday, by Confidence Man
Love the Bitey-hogging-the-scenery photos, but my fave shot is of him in your "gin corner" - those hostas are monsters! Jx
ReplyDeleteYes, the nearest hosta took me by surprise. I removed a couple of big native ferns several months ago and the hosta took advantage of the extra space. It's swamping a beautiful red fern and a smaller variegated hosta (although, I have since removed three of the giant leaves to allow the plants underneath some sun).
DeleteI split the other one behind the astilbe a month or so ago (the other half is now behind the stone bench), otherwise that would be bigger, too.
Good morning!!! A post. I was supposed to write a post???? I knew there was something I'd forgotten...
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I am so jealous that you can let Bitey off the lead! I think I have said this before - Sid would just run and run and run - probably straight into the sea.
A red bush - very impressive!
Sx
Ah, good afternoon! And, to be honest, I don't think you really did "all but promise"...
DeleteI think Bertie is getting more adventurous. Sometimes I have to shout him twice before he comes tearing back. Although, if I manage to get out of his sight (i.e. round a corner, or behind a tree or something), it doesn't take long before he comes to find me (and I don't even need to shout).
Adore Sophie. She can do no wrong. NO WRONG! As for Bitey... what an adorable scamp - like their owner? Your garden is amazing. A perfect place for a spot of tea or a nice gin fizz? Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteA gin fizz, you say? Why, yes, I will have another, thank you!
DeleteUnlike Bitey, I won't snarl and snap when someone tries to pick me up...
Well, depending on who it is...
DeleteLovely pictures as always, IDV. One of my familiars is running around the Lakes District right now after a stop at Stonehenge. Sounds like all the nice places are pretty busy at the moment because it's Brit version of "Spring break" in the UK right now.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, the Spring Bank Holiday here is also the beginning of school half-term holidays. A time to avoid seaside towns and anywhere that may cater to children if one wants a bit of peace and quiet.
DeleteI hope your familar had a lovely time here!
