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:

Reasons to be Cheerful: Proud Mum #R2BC

I am joining in once again with Michelle for Reasons to be Cheerful this week. Its great to have things to make us happy and to share each other's pleasures. I look forward to reading everyone else's. Here are mine for this week:
1) Proud Mum #1
My daughter performed at her school's musical recital. She sang a beautiful song (maybe she will let me share it on here!). Meanwhile here she is with me in the River Kent:

2) Proud Mum #2

Here is my son on his way to 1st place in the junior school wrestling at Langdale at the weekend. He brought his SATs results home this week and passed with flying colours. He even got the maximum score for his maths!

3) Furry Mum

I have to include our furry family in this week. How could the sight of a guinea pig in a tunnel not raise a smile:

4) Blooming lovely

My wild flower seeds are now flowering in the front garden. When I walk down the path I pass the poppies with bees buzzing in and out gathering pollen:

That's it for me! I will now pop over and read all those on the link:

#TheGallery Sun

 

Weigh in Wednesday having a break as I've injured my leg! So time to join in with Tara for first time for months. A lovely theme of sun this week so here is my offering:

 

 

These poppies and wildflowers were really worshipping the sun! Makes a huge difference to both nature and people when the sun is out.
