WHAT'S GREEN AND HAIRY AND...

...covered in raindrops? I'll miss the poppies this year if they come out in the next ten days.

Edit: I've just seen what I blipped last year! It must be Spring.

Off on my hols tomorrow. Nowhere exotic - Norfolk for the weekend and then a friend's caravan less than an hour from home for the rest of next week. Apparently there's no mobile signal there so I'll have to catch up when I come home with my backblips of cake mountains and Yorkshire picturesqueness. May the sun shine, the temperature rise and may you all be here and well when I get back.

(I've never understood why people ask me, at least two weeks beforehand, whether I'm packed ready for my holidays. Do other people really do that? Does it involve having a separate set of holiday clothes, washed, ironed and ready to pack at all times? I generally finish packing about five minutes before leaving the house, and it usually involves getting up very early and putting my clothes through the washing machine and dryer first.)
