HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MOON!

I hope everyone has a healthy, peaceful week. 

The new moon is Friday, April 1--April Fool's Day. (I think it's just before midnight on March 31 for Annette.)

Lindy: I've enjoyed all of your beautiful flowers. No spring flowers blooming here on my patch yet. It snowed this morning! 

Take care and be safe, all.

    Lovely day out today. I took a friend on a magical mystery tour of my youth. Started in Chertsey (grammar school), then along the river to Laleham (boarding school from eight to twelve), then to Shepperton (four houses built by my father, one of which we lived in). Then over the river to Walton on Thames where we visited another house I lived in as a child, then the church where I got married. Then a road formed from the grounds of a house where we had a flat - now about twenty houses! Then the final house I lived in, also in Walton on Thames, which has also been demolished and a massive house built on the plot. Then lunch at a pub where I used to work - delicious crab and prawn fish cakes with a pea puree and lots of chips ... my friend had something called a Nourish Dish - raw and roasted vegetables, lentils and falafel. We couldn't resist dessert - chocolate brownie for her and blueberry and apple crumble for me. Then on to Weybridge where I saw a house I lived in when I was married - looks almost exactly the same as when we lived there very many years ago! Then pointed out the church at Oatlands where Julie Andrews was married. Then finally home via Whiteley Village where my mother lived. I can almost see Annette looking on Google Earth and following our route! Although it was meant as a birthday treat for her, I had a wonderful day revisiting my youth - gosh, how things have changed! I think I might sleep well tonight - I'm shattered!

    Hope everyone else has had a good day. The weather hasn't been up to much, although we had a brief glimpse of the sun, Forecast to be much colder tomorrow. Think I need to hibernate for a couple of days - if only!!!

    PAT - Loved your travel story.

    Here is another that caught my eye - the travels of a bear.

    AQ:  Oh that's a riot about Pooh bear.   Here's a link to a story about the misadventures of another bear....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXwJiHgG-Jc

    PatO:  Can I sign up for your next outing?  :-)

    Heather:  Have the Danes departed yet?  

    Had second cataract surgery this morning. All fine; seemed to go much faster....

    Take care everyone.

    Good Morning Everyone, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OG!!

    Hope you can have a celebratory day. These are wildflowers seen on our walks recently.

    Loved the Bear story AQ.  Pat, no wonder you were tired after such a busy day! Sounded wonderful, though.

    We've had a very cold night, such a contrast to a few days ago, when I actually got a tan on my face in the sunshine. Last night it was minus something degrees!

    Edit: I see that there is now snow on the new Loch Garten nest!!

    Turning around and looking in the other direction! A tiny Bonnie can be seen sniffing the seaweed.
