Blue Sky Thinking ! LOL

What a lovely sunny morning it has been !! There was quite a bit of heavy frost first thing following low night-time temperatures, but well worth it to see to the clear blue sky for a few hours.

My last day at the Garden Museum last month, also last year !!, was similar in the morning too, and I managed to get a couple of shots of the building on my way in.

This year the museum is closed for the first three weeks of January as it's the quietest time of the year, and as for the last couple of years the weather has been bleek and cold, they decided to catch up with re-arranging the storage provision for part of the permanent collection and lots of other jobs too using the interior space to spread stuff out....... The volunteers (that's including me) are due back for the last week of the month.

Although I lost track of the days over the festive period, yesterday was the first time I thought "Thursday, oh I should be at the museum!" 

    

Catching Up !

Time to clear up after the excesses of Christmas, New Year and Panto Season.  I made a great effort to clear all the Christmas decorations away and get the guest bedroom "straight" for the lovely David coming to stay last weekend to play his cameo part of Inspector Knowall.  Our house is packed at the best of times, but there is a small mountain of gifts, food and "stuff" still to find a place for........though one particularly "odd" gift we got found itself amongst the raffle prizes last Saturday, so I'm sure it's gone to a more appreciative home!  The guest bedroom is once again a heap of things waiting to be sorted out, I'm hoping inspiration comes over the weekend ! LOL

Apparently the "Mount Olympus Tarts" made by "Hera" inspired our friend (& neighbour) Sim to do some baking on Sunday, and we got a door-step drop-off of delicious Battenberg Cake (even the marzipan was made from scratch) and a quantity of Baklava (which was eaten before it could be photographed LOL)
