A thoroughly lovely day in the garden

Tony is feeling so much better and has enjoyed pottering in the garden today. It turns out that our next door neighbour has been very poorly with the dreaded symptoms and my walking buddy has been admitted to hospital.  She hasn't had a very good day but is feeling a lot better this evening. She has been so poorly for well over a week and has been admitted as a precaution because she has asthma and is over 75.  We have no idea whether any of us actually have been infected with the virus so we aren't assuming that we have any immunity.
While pottering together in the garden I happened to say to himself that this is how retirement would be.  A bit of gardening, a morning coffee and a gentle stroll over the fields.... not that we have walked today as we  got plenty of exercise gardening today.  We are eating really well and Tony has reduced the amount of bread he is eating as I tend to do a proper lunch. Today was a prawn and crab stick salad for lunch and a chicken casserole with mashed turnip and potato with a good chunk of cabbage.

The weather has been so nice that I have moved some plants from the conservatory windowsill. It's very sheltered on top of the log store and the plastic roof over the pergola which covers the log store has turned it into a greenhouse. If it looks like being very cold I will bring them back indoors.
