Many of the floral photos posted here are from my French blog and were taken in and around the domaine of Moulin du Clout in the Auvernge. I photographed and recorded much of the flora and fauna I found. Ask if you need to know what any of them they are. The above flower is Self-heal Prunella vulgaris.
Another session of Facetime with son and family in Antwerp. They seem busy with work and activities. Computers are so useful for keeping contact with friends and family especially in times like now when isolation can be lonely.
The weather has turned wet today which I am happy about as it means that the garden is getting a good soaking. On our walk today I went into Arthur Johns to get a compost bin. No sign of one and as the assistant was engaged with another customer I left. Maybe I will go for the one I saw online although I shall have to pay postage. We need it for the allotment.
Peter sent me an email containing two photos of male relatives and he wanted info about their costumes so that he could date them. I spent sometime researching stiff collars and the like which I always find interesting to do although male costumes don't vary so much over the years as women's do do it is difficult to be precise.

Lockdown restrictions in the UK will continue for "at least" another three weeks as it tackles the coronavirus outbreak, Dominic Raab has said.
The foreign secretary told the daily No 10 briefing that a review had concluded relaxing the measures now would risk harming public health and the economy.
"We still don't have the infection rate down as far as we need to," he said.
It comes as the UK recorded another 861 coronavirus deaths in hospital, taking the total to 13,729.
Strict limits on daily life - such as requiring people to stay at home, shutting many businesses and preventing gatherings of more than two people - were introduced on 23 March, as the government tried to limit the spread of coronavirus.

Those of you who have been to Antwerp (well worth a visit) will recognise this.
The statue has been unveiled in front of Antwerp Cathedral depicting a young boy and his dog, in tribute to the stars of a beloved 19th-century novel that found fame in Japan before it became known in Flanders, where the story is set.
A Dog of Flanders was written by British author and animal rights activist under the pen name Ouida. It tells the story of young orphan Nello, who grows up with his grandfather in a village near Antwerp.
One day, Nello and his grandfather rescue a dog who’s been beaten nearly to death, and Nello and the dog, Patrasche, become inseparable.
TOT ZIENS! Less chocolate! More Exercise! Who are you kidding!
