choppy 5C swim - Easterly wind

Post work cycle up the glen with Helen

that is gorgeous. I can just see that as a really hard jigsaw 😂😱

you definitely need to find a beginner's video. The NHS do one www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Hq... plus a few more

Looks gorgeous. What was the temperature like?

Clusters of bright purple flowers on hyacinths with bright green leaves in neat flowerbeds surrounded by a tidy lawn, white hyacinth flower beds, clipped box hedges and a statue of a muscular man bending over an urn in the background

Light pink hyacinth flowers in neat rows with box hedges in the background and the corner of a large redbrick mansion

A close up of clusters of tiny blue grape hyacinth flowers with a bee perched on one

Swathes of white bell-shaped hyacinth flowers in the foreground with extensive lawns and grounds in the background and a huge, impressive redbrick mansion under a blue sky

Just a hyacinth appreciation post 🪻

Hyacinths serve as a vital early-season source of nectar and pollen insects as they emerge from hibernation. Grape hyacinths are especially loved by bees, so add these to your borders for a wildlife-friendly garden.

Our choir has been invited to sing the morning and evensong services today in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral; the morning is being live-streamed if you’ve not been able to hear us elsewhere and would like to youtube.com/watch?v=htag...

Did it. Newport 10k. Could have done without the stinking cold this week though. 1:02:30, 6th in age group. And yes, it was hot.

Busy afternoon preparing registrations on the iconic Walker organ in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral ready for the weekend here with City of Birmingham Choir.

Love wild garlic

thank you - they taste good too

Thank you - getting there

That's a good idea. The class I attend is certainly not fast. Hope you get to enjoy it and feel the benefit

That's a shame. Pilates should not be fast.

#KombuchaWatch Update

So I've been producing a 250ml bottle a day for a while now and I love it.

It tastes like an expensive soft drink with hints of honey and I know I'll want more than this when the warm weather comes.

I've bought a second dozen bottles and will be upping production this week.

The House That Came Back To Life When we bought the Time Capsule House two years ago, it had been standing empty and looked a little forlorn.

Tour de Newport today.

Another day another swim, sunny but choppy 4C

So when I looked out of the window this morning the sun was shining and the loch was mirror calm. Lunchtime swim - cue the wind and the hail! Good for the soul 🙂

2 more jigsaws this week #loveajigsaw

No, Will look at it - sounds fun thankyou

This Mazzle of the Cairngorms was very hard. The guide sheet was 1/4 the size of the finished jigsaw. #loveajigsaw

Back in loch tay - a bit of a shock after portugal! 4C and a bit of a push

just finished watching that last night - fantastic

Brilliant, glad you enjoyed it, I guess you went at high tide

we did dip but was at low tide so not appealing. nice swim in the sea there though. maps.app.goo.gl/au65MRWgX1KH...
