A step towards the new normal

I have to confess I really got sick of that lockdown 3 title to my posts.  

Today feels like it should be all change. 

It’s the start of British Summer Time and the eve of the first phase out of lockdown.  

I have completed my ten stitch blanket it used 1272 grams of stashed yarn. Currently it’s sat on the armchair with Peter’s teddy

These beautiful flowers were grown and arranged by our eldest daughter.  She invested in a poly tunnel greenhouse in the hopes of saving on her chateau flower bill.  As you can see it was a success, just a shame there are no guests to enjoy them.  Still she knows it works and they have been busy setting out new beds for flowers and vegetables.  I just hope it’s not too long before we can visit and see for ourselves 

We took a walk around the Hemingford to St Ives meadow this afternoon, it was quite breezy but enjoyable. The Heron was poking about in the shallows, no doubt looking for lunch

The fallen tree is still wedged under the St Ives bridge arch, relic from the floods, so many trees have been hauled out of the water and lay in the meadows and fields.  It will be interesting to see how they get this one out

So many little violets

And of course, I just had to cast on another ten stitch!
