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. 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.

It’s been great this week to be outside without a coat - briefly that is, you know when you take the bins out and you don’t have to sprint there and back, yes that sort of foray outside. Though as it’s been milder I’ve been encouraged to stop and take a few pictures, but somehow I missed this.

MOH noticed it and isn’t it gorgeous?

I think it’s a nectarine tree - just a small one, and one that dad gave me last autumn. It’s been potted on, as it was outgrowing the pot it was in, and it seems happy enough. We’ve had it against the wall since it arrived in Nottinghamshire to test out if it likes it there - as my plan is to site it alongside the wall, and train it espalier style, though I still need to get the canes sorted out for that.

It’s looking like that plan could come together - and that makes me happy!
