Hi everyone I am so sorry I have not been in touch for a month, I am not sure where the time has gone. I was really unwell at the beginning of the month, just a cold like bug, but it wiped me out for days. And ever since then I have been playing catch up with life, family and work. And of course as many of you know I have also in this time returned to England from Portugal.
There have been some positives in May such as seeing my amazing Mum, catching up with friends and observing the wonderful fledglings on the tree at the end of our neighbours garden. Took us a few moments to recognise what they are. Do you know?
For those who haven’t guessed they are starlings. And here they are with one of their parents! They were so lovely to observe, especially as this is the first time for years that we have had starlings in the gardens around us.
However despite the positives, and as I am sure you have guessed by the lack of notifications and announcements, I have not had a chance to even think about preparing June squares. I do have a theme but I just can’t start it tomorrow. I am so sorry.
I am though only postponing. It will be taking place in July, and next week I will announce the theme. Today and this weekend I just need a little bit more time to catch up. So please do bear with me, and in the meanwhile here a rather lovely shot of one of the starling adults!
PS I also really want to catch up on all of your posts and many comments over the last month before I start looking at daily posts. I am so far behind, fingers crossed though I will have caught up with all of you very soon. I have missed you!
Just seen this….AND HAVE MISSED YOUR POSTS!

I’ve missed you too B, but I’m also way behind, hardly blogging at all and even debating giving it up. Glad you’re feeling better G xx

It is such a challenge isn’t it sometimes, and then when you do slip away for a bit there is so much to do when you return. However I have missed everyone so very much, that not sure I could give it up. I am though certainly going to be quieter in my English months

Don’t give up, although the way wordpress has been behaving will understand if you do.

I am now fully recovered thanks, but my diary and to do list are now threatening to overwhelm! Slowly though find a way through all the chaos 🙂
