The first

A garden blip for the first time this year with the hellebores putting on a bit of a show. I spotted this one showing its face from the dining room as I sat and worked this morning. That was after a bit of a lie-in and a very lovely surprise with a visit from the former-official-Bailey-sitter. Bailey made her feel very welcome and was sad to see her go as she left us on our walk. 

I worked through the morning and a bit of the afternoon before a late lunch and taking Bailey for a walk. A bit of telly catch-up this afternoon and then soup making and ironing. Bailey required a final walk this evening before I watched the last episode of Call the Midwife and Bailey retired under my bed in the hope that he wouldn't be retrieved.
