Today, here in Rishton, Blackburn, it is very freezing cold, sunny and not raining.

I walked to the Best One shop for our Accrington Observer and Daily Mail.

It is peaceful, as both cats are sleeping.

The plants in the photo include Crassulas, Citrus plants grown from pips, Geraniums and the pink budded Cactus.

I hope you all enjoy a decent Friday and keep warm and safe, blip friends.
