Another thunderstorm, this time actually around our house. So many strikes, although mainly intercloud.

Lightning strikes in and around Bristol, Red is less than 15 minutes old.

Not that there was a great thunderstorm in Bristol this morning, but the run-off this afternoon is impressive

The way the nod reminds me of the old "drinking bird" toy.

The garden is a right mess (I've ignored it for some time) but I love this rose. I planted it 2 decades ago to commemorate my Mormor (mother's mother). It seems to have thrived on being ignored.

It seems Pontypridd has been taken over by Jackdaws.

Felt like baking a black forest gateau.

I don't grow peonies,but they are my favourite flower, so I treated myself to some for my birthday. Tomorrow I shall bake a black forrest gateau for tea before moving to a keto diet to see if it will put my diabetes in remission.

They were re-doing the planters today in Nailsea.

The really enjoyable thing about going to the gym of an evening; gym bunnies.

My other rose flowering this year. (The yellow one seems to have gone blind.) I chose my roses for scent rather than the form of the bloom, but the red rose is classic.

Apparently they are now even sending little people over!

The yarm bombing has reached my street. It is apparently advertising the secret garden festival.

One of the things I like about where I work is that there are bee hives and lots of wild flowers for them where the grass is allowed to grow.

Bee hives at work. They've just been opened up for the summer.

Yarn bombing is a popular sport around the south west. This is a local post box.

My first ever sourdough bread. The odd shape is because I didn't have a bread basket for the rise, but the texture and flavour is great.

The fun of letting the front garden self-seed is that you get interesting news flowers every now and then.

Yesterday's sunset. It was really beautiful.

Since I am in Aberystwyth for the Crime Cymru Festival, I thought I should see the sea. Shame I didn't bring rock pooling kit with me.

Hot cross buns made. It's a great recipe. I've not done any bread in years but they were very successful, despite not finding my piping bags to do the crosses.

First attempt at home made hot cross buns.

I love the persistence of trees, half of them may be dead but still spring brings greenery.

A tree coming into leaf. I see this tree from the road where the dead side is more clearly visible.

I let the front garden run wild and lots of interesting plants end up there. This year for the first time we have bluebells, although I think they are the Spanish ones.
