Treats and Sherlock time #R2BC

Anyone else find it hard to keep positive when folks around you are finding things tough? Lockdown isn't easy but finding positive things can lift the spirits. Thank you to everyone who linked up last week. For anyone new to the linky we have a few relaxed instructions: 

What do you have to do? Easy: 

1. Link up a post about something that is making you happy or grateful. It can be a list, photos or any way you fancy 

2. Add the #R2BC badge (at the end of this post) onto your post or blog so that people can easily find the linky and join in too if they want to 

3. Share the love. This is the really important bit. Please don't just link and run, comment on at least a couple of posts and why not share with #R2BC too? 

I'll stop by all linked up posts to comment and I'll share on social media too. 

Meanwhile here are my reasons to be cheerful for this week: 

1) Poppy power

The poppies I grew from wild flower seeds are looking amazing at the moment even in the rain:

2) In the frame

I have moved more of our old photos into frames that have been added to our rogues' gallery on the stairs:

3) "Secret" Passages

I love how Kendal has lots of little pathways and steps that take you off the roads:

Front Garden update

Here was a my video update from last week when I incorrectly identified cyclamen as geraniums:

Here are some of my favourite wild flowers that grew from seed:
