Springtime..

Another gorgeous day in the Highlands. Have been digging over the garden at the back of the house. Not all the crops are grown on the croft! Saw this primrose out, and a bumble bee. Tried to get a picture of the bee but it kept flying about, so opted for the better behaved Primrose.

A pot of chives that I split into 8, and planted a couple of years ago has now been split into 48, and fills a 4 foot square bed.

When I was young, we used to sing a song "Springtime in a rocket". Anyone else familiar with this?

"It's springtime in a rocket,
The snow is falling fast,
A barefooted man with clogs on,
Went slowly whizzing past.

He took a straight corner crooked,
To see a dead donkey die,
He took out his knife to shoot it,
But the donkey spat back in his eye.

He went to the pictures tomorrow,
And got a front seat at the back,
He fell from the floor to the ceiling,
And broke a front bone in his back.

They carried him on a stretcher,
He walked every inch of the way,
They gave him jam butties for breakfast,
He ate them then threw them away.."

(remembered from 40+ years ago..)

Going to a "House gig" tonight at L&M's. An outing on our anniversary. We had a similar day in St Albans ,32 years ago, when we were married. Blue skies, sunshine, warm.
