Lazy Easter long weekend and all

byslantedlightSo much for going excavating this weekend - I couldn't make contact in the end, and then by Friday I had what felt like a niggly cold (desperately hoping it wasn't that tooth being infected or anything horrid like that), and then Friday was upon me and I'd not made plans... so I'm at home being lazy/trying to get the Dairy more livable. It still feels more like a place I'm keeping my stuff for a while than home (whereas my lovely Annexe did feel like my home, I guess cos I chose it), but I keep hoping that'll change if I can sort it out better and start concentrating on other things!
Anyway, I found myself taking some things that couldn't be made to fit here to the local Emmaus, and heading back to Ikea to find stuff that did (which felt so wrong...) and in between I stopped at this Country Park, and had a little wander with my camera.
I walked down beside Glebe Lake...
It all felt very Easter, and very spring, although this church on the hill felt somewhat sinister, somehow!
And when I got home and opened the wild garlic I'd had from Riverford this week (to make pesto - yum, I don't know why I ever buy the stuff when homemade is so much nicer!) I found garlic flowers, which I'd just been complaining I hardly ever see!
The family's away, and so I took an evening wander around, and down the long field at the bottom of their garden. The evening Dairy looked quite cosy with its lights on.
The field, on the other hand, felt somewhat less comforting - there were odd movements and rustlings and crackings of undergrowth from this corner by the trees, which is where the remains of the medieval church and its graveyard are buried... Luckily a neighbour had also told me that there were badger sets there, so I had a reason not to let myself be too spooked! (I wish I could see the badgers though - maybe I should invest in night goggles!)
Even though my Dairy is still rather chaotic, it was nice to come inside... *g*
