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. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.

And breathe. Once again I’m taking some leave, but even though my leave year starts in April and I’ve already had two weeks off, this is the first of this year’s leave. I’m getting the hang of it, and I’m really looking forward to it. I must have sensed I’d need some time off, as the place we’ve booked is wifi-free and is basically a cabin in a field. I’m hoping it’s not basic though, and I’m looking forward to making full use of the wood-fired hot tub. The weather forecast for the weekend is looking promising too, let’s hope it’s close to being correct.

I’ll leave you with a picture of the clematis in my garden which is having its best year ever.
