We experienced very few, and only intermittent, frosty mornings this last winter. This is forecast possibly to be our last.
Jackie ventured out with her camera to photograph frosted flowers.
Later she recorded the perking up, while I practiced with my Nordic walking poles as far as No. 21 Downton Lane and back.
I then hoped to balance my iPhotos stock by a little culling, only retaining the obvious one from
and two from
I reinstated one and deleted four from
This evening we reprised yesterday’s chicken Jalfrezi meal with the addition of parathas, and I drank more of the Vega Spanish red wine.
That’s quite a walk. I continue impressed at your determination.
Thank you very much, Crystal
Hope the flowers survived the frost. They look gorgeous. Hope your trek sharpened your dinner appetite.
Thanks very much, Pat. They did
Yes, quite a walk. And what a fantastic picture of the ride and the bird. Wowsah!
Thank you very much, Laurie. That was the one I recovered.
Here’s hoping there are not too many casualties from the frost. Happy walking!
No casualties, Rosaliene. Thank you very much.
How far was the distance you walked?
Maybe half a mile – nothing, really. Thanks very much Ilze
It’s better than nothing :). I struggle with daily walks 🙁
It looks as though your plants survived the frost relatively unscathed?
They did. Thanks very much, Liz
You seem so much further along in spring, I’m surprised you had a frosty morning. Congratulations on your walking!
Thank you very much, Merril
I am glad to hear that the walking poles got an outing. I hope that you get some kind spring weather to encourage them to get out again.
Thanks very much, Toolepedal
Nature has her ways and the plants seemed to have recovered, Derrick …
Yes. Thanks very much, Ivor
I hope the frost has not done much damage, and that this is the last one until autumn.
I remember that book by Jack London, “Call of the Wild”. I enjoyed it very much.
All is OK thank you very much, Lavinia
Hi, Derrick – The minimal frost we did get this winter is now gone (she says with confidence). But it has been replaced with daily rain. I dream of warm, dry days ahead!
Thank you very much, Donna
I’m hoping all your plants perk back up. So glad you’re practicing with your Nordic poles.
Culling photographs (and anything else!) is a difficult and time-consuming task. I am pleased to learn of your progress with the walking poles. I use mine whenever we go for a walk over uneven or hilly ground. They are wonderful appendages!
Thank you very much, Anne
Beautiful photos, Jackie and Derrick.
That frost can be hard on some of the plants.
Good for you on your walking!
(((HUGS))) for you and Jackie!! ❤️❤️
Thank you very much from each of us, Carolyn XX
