A couple of weeks into lockdown

So here we all are dealing with lockdown, some better than others I would think.  For us it's meant some skype calls with family, our skype dinner party has not gone ahead yet, we need my sister in law to be pursuaded it is a good idea I'm leaving that with my brother, it would give a lighter mood to the situation outside of our bubbles.

We joined a live video over facebook yesterday (Saturday) it was with one of the dance hosts whose dances we attend locally - or did before all of this started, it was great to get some dancing in.  The hour and a half was well thought out, and having gone outside to the patio we danced under the stars and moon, said hello and sent requests, joined in some banther.  The audience varied, but most touching was the older contingent, many having never used technology in such a way before, some without their dance partners but still joining in being able to listen an put in requests or just to say hello to friends, for this group a lot are within the most vulderable age group, it gave them some time to hear something normal and joining in with a group of people they know but cannot be with.  The evening was made a great success by the people who hosted it and those who joined in, we'll be looking out for the next one.

Our days are full, deciding what to do and where to be, either in the garden or indoors, currently due to the weather being so lovely we've spent a lot of time outdoors gardening, and giving the summerhouse another coat of paint.  I've also sown some seeds, some of the hollyhock seeds my dad saved back in 2012 he passed away the year after and I've not had the inclination to do anything with them till now, so fingers crossed they do something, it's right on the end of the time they should be viable, we'll see what happens.  I have gloss painting indoors for cloudy/rainy days, that looks like next week at some point.

And lastly some photos of spring in our garden, take care x
