The council guys have been in our road cutting the grass today. One had a sit on mower and was content to cut the pavement before he realised what the grinding noise was, and two had strimmers merrily strimming around trees and shrubs, cutting into the bark.
As I walked the dog this afternoon there were no sneezes, so definitely no hayfever!
Seeing the little piles of grass along the pavement edges as they didn’t clear up this time, it reminded me of years ago at school around 1963/64 when I was this young
and how on some sunny days we had our lessons outside on the grass.
At break, I would go round collecting the grass cuttings and make little birds nests everywhere in the hope that some little bird would come along and lay an egg in it just for me. It never happened of course, but I never gave up!

You had me laughing at the council guys! And what a charming childhood memory of little grass birds’ nests. It’s a great school photo too. 🙂

Yes, OK thank you Di. 😀
I hope you three are OK too – despite tourist season!
We’re doing OK too. Keeping away from town anyway, and finding early morning and late evening the best times to walk Maggie and not meeting up with anyone.
It is a game of Dodgem! 😀
yep, and spot the tourist…………….
haha 😀
I think you and I would have been friends – I loved animals (still do) and spent many a day making little houses for toads and squirrels using whatever materials were at hand – twigs and grass and caps from acorns…
Oh my

What a beautiful child! Inside and out.
thanks Pam. I was 8.
Such an adorable picture of you.

Cutest picture ever.
I hope the teachers use this virus excuse to take kids outside for lessons. Ever so much more pleasant – and more memories to load in.
(We are sneezing with Saharan dust clouds here – not what you want to be doing – people are just so nervous about sneezes)

Great memory.
I always hoped!
