This is Emily’s favourite and thought was good for Y - “ Yorkshire Tea” it’s flavoured to taste like biscuits and she loves it.
I’ve not tried it as don’t fancy the flavour.
looking down the garden from the patio on a cold grey day in february
the daffodil bulbs in the tin pots are shooting
the pots of echinaceas flic.kr/p/2qn2mdu planted in the autumn look sick. no signs of life. i'm not hopeful about any spring activity but time will tell flic.kr/p/2qn2LXR
the red and yellow geums in the centre bed have survived so far

Carrots!
I can’t stand them and the reason behind is as a child my Dad made me eat them! I wasn’t allowed to leave the table till I’d finished them!
I remember crying and not eating them.
So years on I still can’t eat them and remind my Dad often what he did to me (in a joking way).
On freezing cold days, perched chickadees sort of puff themselves up and do their best to turn into a round shape, and I think it's a pretty cute mechanism against the cold.
Hope everyone is doing well.

As the sun slowly dropped to the horizon, the parted section of the cloud cover allowed me to 'grab' this image of the days last light before total sunset.
The coastline belongs to Point Lonsdale, Victoria - a small coastal township.

It is quite obvious that my early years of reading science fiction has affected my mental processes. I often see extraterrestrial beings in the most mundane places. This metal plate is bolted to the stern of a ship along the riverfront that has been dry docked for the winter. It did not ask me to "take it to my leader" because, as a Twitter user, it knows what a disaster that could be for an illegal alien.

I went for a wonderful midnight walk through the streets of my neighbourhood tonight. The air was warm (10C, 50F) and all those mountains of snow were melting and washing out parts of the roadways. So I put my camera down right at the edge of one of the mammoth puddles and captured the sparkle that occurs just when the soul of freshly dead snow emerges to make it's trip to whiter pastures.
