Lovely weather again - can't believe it!!! Spent most of the morning making sure dad was ready and packed to go off to Scotland on the train. He left at 12.30 - station and trains were heaving - hope he got to Kilmarnock OK! Just off to Adrienne's for another knitting evening. This is a photo of one of my lovely tulips! We're off to Scotland tomorrow - camping - hope it doesn't rain too much!!! Will catch up with my posts when I get back.

Another beautiful day! We drove over to Settle and had lunch there. This is a photo of my dad with his lunch - he had haddock and chips (a huge piece of fish!). We came back and sat in the garden for a little while. F home tonight.

Another gorgeous day. Dad walked into town then got the bus back. I took this photo of the cherry blossom tree at work - it's beautiful at the moment!

Another lovely day today - very quiet at work. Dad arrived this evening on the coach from Plymouth. Fraser has gone down to London - back on Wednesday. Finished one of my H socks last night (Happy Sox) which I'm knitting for Holly's birthday in June.

A really warm and sunny day today - we did more gardening. We're almost getting to the point where most of it is done. I planted some bedding plants - probably a bit early but we're away at the end of the week so I had to get them in. Went to Oxenholme station to pick up dad's train tickets to Kilmarnock and then we walked up on the Helm - we hadn't been up there before. The views over Kendal were great.

Up early to go with F to take his car back. We were an hour early so we went to Booths for breakfast. I bought three new pairs of walking trousers while we were in town. Came home and did some more gardening.

Had a really busy day! Baked two lots of prune and chocolate brownies, two sticky date cakes, veggie bolognese, chilli and two lots of chicken curry (veggie!). Took some cakes to my two neighbours across the road. Posted some socks to Beryl for her birthday tomorrow. Bought some more plants today - some geraniums. Yesterday, I bought some fuscias and aubretia. F will be home tonight.
