Unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.

Enjoyed the brew in bed!

Breakfast soon followed.

Now out for some fresh air.

It's getting warmer \o/

We went past the site where the new Lidl is going to be...

I went to see my mum and dad.

The grave behind my parent's grave has now no flowers on it.

All the flowers from last week have gone.

I hope there will be some flowers going on in the next few weeks.

At least the sun is shining!

Hubby nipped into Sainsburys,while I sat in the car.
