Ram's head

This was my favourite photo from Eaton Hall. I tried various apertures and angles but I liked this the best. I love the lichen in his nooks and crannies.

Cherub

I noticed this chubby little face peeping down from the edge of this statue in the wildflower garden.

Lady

The lichen on this really added to the timeless feel, I think. I love the graceful folds of her veil and the way she seems to be looking into the far distance.

i am taking the girls and their friends iceskating today.

UPDATE: P just phoned me with some incredibly sad news about a work colleague. It seems to me that Easter has been a time of great loss and sadness to a number of people and others are struggling with worries and anxieties. I am sitting here trying to make sense of everything and thinking about love and friendship. There is so much pain but there is so much love too. I read it in the blogs I visit every day, I see it in online communities like DPC and TPC, and I experience it from family, friends and even from my animals. As Talj says on her blog "....a reminder to make the most of every moment and to tell those who mean the most to you, you love them. None of us know whats around the corner"

"This wasn't quite what Phil and Andy expected when Norm said he'd introduce them to some cute chicks...."
Happy Easter
to all those who celebrate Easter and to those who don't, I hope you enjoy your Sunday whatever you are doing.

I was thinking about the book "Five people you meet in Heaven" and this quote seemed appropriate for the world pf bloggers....

"There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind..."

I have been busy in the garden and also putting together my new gardening blog.

Wednesday evening....
Two more photos from our visit to the David France collection of Everton memorabilia. One is of Alan Ball's boots; the other of K with some Everton shirts.

I am pleased to report that Shea now seems fully recovered from whatever ailed him! He really scared me for a time. Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts - I was so worried!!

I've been over in Leeds visiting T; the weather was absolutely lovely and we had a great time visiting garden centres and various other shopping places. It was a really nice break! Only two more days at work and then it's the Easter holidays and we are off for a long weekend to the Lakes!!
