Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any 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 and share some of that love.

The rain I was fretting about last week arrived. Typically on the day we had family over, for a barbecue. Well pork belly cooked on the barbecue. Having the oven on for a good few hours, even on low, wasn’t high on our agenda, and so, despite the rain we used the barbecue. When the weather got really bad, up went the parasol to protect the cooking area a little. Thankfully the next day was dry so it was able to dry out properly!

The pork was delicious, the jacket potatoes cooked and the coleslaw plentiful! So was the wine, so all was good. And it felt almost normal.

This week’s photo is another from Hyde Hall, the lime-y zingy-ness just appealed. We have some euphorbias in our garden, but the lime green ‘flowers’ are all gone.
