New leaves.

New leaves.
Woke at five and never got back to sleep so I was up before seven. You'd think I'd have got a lot done but time wasting is my biggest skill. Poured boiling water down my bath's sluggish plughole but it hasn't solved the problem so I'll need to think again. Decided my housecoat needed a wash than settled down for a read. Fiddled with photos. Phoned Margaret who is cheesed off with being stuck in the house. We had a good rant although on opposite sides of the political divide though not on Brexit. Somehow got onto cars and she suddenly realised hers was due an MOT and went off to check up. I went into the garden. Chopped down all the buddleia. I have a lot against the fence with the school playing field and like it to stay low so I can photograph butterflies. Cleared up another bit of the border so that was quite productive and Beaky was pleased at some more accessible soil. Photographed the tiny unfurling leaves of my robina. At about half past four Colin the mechanic brought my car back. That's the timing belt for another five years. He had a rant as well. Someone else fed up. He hasn't been able to use his motor home for a year now. Like Margaret and I he would be happy if we could travel in Scotland and if cafes were open. How little it would take to please us now.

A cracking macro shot of these beautiuful and colourful leaves Jean. I love the smooth background.

Our garden is a bit of a swamp at the moment. Certainly too wet to do any work............but anyway, weather permitting, the tree surgeon is coming on Monday to remove our rotting sycamore tree and give the other one a good trim.

My soil is light and sandy so never gets muddy but it is a jungle of decaying vegetation. I'll keep some of it to rot down for compost but today's haul went into the councils composting bin.

Terrific Macro Jean I love the mixture of colour in the foliage. Everyone is fed up this time of year, to far off Christmas and not near enough to summer.

This is what I love about spring and new growth! The colours are beautiful and the greens so vibrant. You have captured it beautifully.

Thanks for reinstating your diary Jean. I use something called a valet plug hole brush that I got from a local store. It works a treat! Sounds like you have a good friend, when you can be on opposite sides of a discussion :) There are times when I definitely keep quiet!!
Have a good weekend.

The problem with relaxation of the rules are the idiots that take it too far the last time we were invaded by visitors.

I know exactly what you mean about cafes being open. We can longer travel the 9 miles to Shrewsbury for a good walk along the river, as there are no toilet facilities available. We were able to do the latter until the latest lockdown took us from level 3 to level 4, so we can longer enjoy the simple pleasure of sitting outdoors drinking a cappuccino and watching the world go by. .
