Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week, please remember this, posts which are older will be removed from the linky. 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. 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.

In comparison to last week which was predominantly task-based, this week has been much more fun and celebratory, as weeks celebrating birthdays should be. The weather even managed to sort itself out and we’ve had time in the gardening for working and relaxing. The sun loungers are out and have been used, and there’s been a couple of barbecued meals too - let’s hope the warmer weather hangs around for a bit.

It’s not just me that’s enjoying the weather, our Gertrude Jekyll rose bush has the most roses we’ve seen on it for a good few years, and they’re such gorgeous flowers too - it’s definitely a plant that’s going on my ‘next garden’ list, especially as it was a present from MOH on our fourth wedding anniversary.

Isn’t it gorgeous?
