Chocolate with a difference.


 Whittaker's bring out a limited edition chocolate a couple of times a year and this was the latest offering. Of course we have to try them all. Did we like it? It was okay 🙃

A new latch


A new chain and hook on the gate to the Silverstream flood bank walk. Truth be told, it's a couple of new gates.

Winter cheer


 These jonquils have been flowering for most of the winter. A lovely splash of colour on a bleak, grey day.

Spring's coming


 I looked after this bush for years, probably about 30, as somehow it ended up split right down the middle. Probably the kids or the dog or a combination of both. This year it has thrived and is growing like Topsy. I always thought it was a daphne bush but it's not and I don't know the name of it. I'm pleased it's thriving but disappointed it's not what I was hoping, daphne has such a lovely scent. But I'll keep it when the bushes round about are cut down soon by son in law. I've nurtured it too long for it to go now. 😊

Painted stone


 I 'hid' my painted stone on the drinking fountain at the playground. Can you see it?

A snow day


 Theo's snowman. I'm cheating today and putting up this pic Theos mum sent us. Too cold to go out if we don't have to, even to get a photo. Schools are out for a snow day.

Where's mine?


 This boy was watching through the window while Sooty had his meal.

Traffic cones


 Traffic cones at the end of our street. New pipes going in for the new subdivision.

Stacked

 That's ours on the bottom. She passed her WOF and is back home.
