Post Comment Love 18 - 20 October

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This week MOH and I are treating ourselves to a jazz brunch, at home. Years ago we used to go to a posh hotel in London for an enjoyable brunch with friends, but alas it stopped many years before Covid and while we’ve kept in touch with the friends, we’ve never found a replacement venue with the same offering, or not one that’s lasted anyway. MOH has an influx of jazz records and so we’ve decided to recreate the brunch, as best we can at home!

While it is very much autumn here now, this week has been unseasonably warm which is quite odd, but quite welcome! This year’s foraged autumn joy is the conkers from outside the church in the village - we had great fun finding the best ones!

Have a great week.

This week I’m sending much love to Suzanne and her family, and I know you will too.

It turns out that when you have nothing planned, you can still have quite a busy week - who knew?

It’s been a week to keep busy with chores around the house and parcels to drop off - no soon as one lot is gone another purchase or two takes place and I’m back dropping off parcels, not that I’m complaining, but it would be more helpful if those eBay and Vinted sales were a little more coordinated. But it is good to see things we’ve loved go to new homes!

There’s been walks in the unexpected sunshine, conkers to collect and display, a pub lunch, pears from the next village up from someone’s garden - the same place we bought the chilli plant from, and as it turned out two unexpected and quite entertaining visitors to the garden.

We spent some time watching and chuckling at the antics of these two red legged partridges which wandered past the patio doors, explored the garden and found the small crab apple tree with its fallen fruit and had a bit of a feast. I guess, as we didn’t have a pear tree they had to improvise!

Thankfully though they didn’t stay for long, or make themselves too comfortable - we’ve no idea where they came from, or why obviously, but I can’t help but smile that they arrived the very same day we brought the local pears home!

Have a good week!

Thanks for all your love on my sunflowers last week - they’ve had a tumultuous week, what with the wind and the rain. They were blown over, stood back up and then blown over again - they’re currently still laying low (and I don’t blame them) but trying their best to flower. Even in their laid low state a couple of the smaller sunflowers have made an appearance, but with more weather forecast I’m tempted to let them do their own thing, at their own angle for the time being, as the bees are still managing to find them!

I think there’s no denying that summer is well and truly over, even though yesterday was a gloriously sunny day, but our heating is almost on, almost. The radiators upstairs are starting to come on each morning as it’s chilly enough, and we’re upping the temperature of our underfloor heating downstairs gradually.

But more importantly my cosy slippers are out, and they’ll be here for the winter and honestly, I’m not sad about that - just look at those pom-poms.
