Our Week

I know it's been another difficult week worldwide and here in the UK, but in our own family circumstances I have to be thankful that our Italian relatives are holding their own despite contracting the virus infection in one sister-in-law's family group.  We hope the situation continues in a positive way for them, especially for the elderly sister-in-law now being made comfortable with an oxygen supply. We have been in contact quite often and again we're thankful that at least we can get information on a landline phone from another of Mr P's family.  Everyone is staying at home in their own family bubble.

Here in the UK Sunday was Mother's Day my photos are of the bunches of flowers received organised by our local daughter.  The two grandchildren came on separate occasions over the weekend and left the bouquets of flowers on behalf of themselves and our son and daughter who live far away.

There were cards sent and phone calls from family who live at a distance.  Two types of cake made - one was a vegan date and walnut cake made by local daughter and I made a chocolate sponge cake that local daughter could take home to share with the two grandchildren.

Today the sun has come out and at last the daffodils are in bloom in the covered yard and outside in the garden.  The miniature ones are really pretty.  The Rip Van Winkle variety were planted under the apple tree and the Tete-a-Tete are near the white hellebores in the flower bed by our sitting out area, not that we can sit out as there's been a cold wind and persistent rain showers.

Thank you for your visit.  Hopefully I'll speak again soon.
