"Beejesus we're blessed are we not?"
So called out the hefty Irish horsewoman on even a heftier horse this morning as the sun shined and the skies around Trelawnyd remained a bright comforting blue.
I passed the woman on the road climbing the Gop we nodded in a friendly manner as we have passed each other several times before. She has a brusque warmth that I like
Everything seems a bit brighter this morning.
The Church was gridlocked with cars and I could just hear the singing of a hymn as Trendy Carol's dogs bark at a passing mongrel.
It's a big gig today for the vicar
We are having lentil and pepper soup for lunch.

What's the big deal at the church today? Has Christmas come early?
ReplyDeleteIt's palm Sunday
DeleteOops! Thanks Cameron.
DeleteSee my blog post today re Palm Sunday in Merida, Spain.
DeleteI loved the stork on the chimney
DeleteLentil and pepper - mmmmmmm! That's one you can safely put on the menu for when I pop round. (Don't worry. Not yet!)
ReplyDeleteAlways welcome Raymondo
DeleteThanks, JayGee. I'll give you notice well in advance - like several months.
DeleteI listened to Sunday Worship and enjoyed the music, they had a viola soloist.
ReplyDeleteI haven't listened to DID yet...tomorrow when I'm cleaning!
DeletePlease listen to it !
DeleteThis sounds like the beginning of a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Nice..not perfect...but nice
DeleteA day that starts with the acknowledgement of blessings in your life is a day that can only get better.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to be grateful
DeleteOh, I could go into a rant here about celebrating suffering and agony versus being satisfied with the glory and wonder of spring.
ReplyDeleteI won't.
I won't either x
DeleteThat's a sweet picture. I wonder what's going through Mary's mind? -Jenn

ReplyDeleteoff topic, but this reminds me of your previous post.
I missed the fart
DeleteEvery day we are alive is an opportunity to do the things that make us happy and enjoy the company of good friends and loved ones.
ReplyDeleteAnd your day sounds wonderful!
Love the foto of the dog and cute little baby sheep! Sunshine, good company, and new life. That's a lovely expression of Spring!
We all needed a bit of sun me thinks
DeleteBright Blue . . .
ReplyDeleteBright sun . . .
Loved this greeting . . .
"Beejesus we're blessed are we not?"
“. . . called out the hefty Irishwoman . . .”
It was exactly the rightreslponse
DeleteNice post. You are back on form.
ReplyDeleteTa muchly
DeleteYou guys are certainly blessed, we are excited that it only went to -8 last night. No cute little lambs out on green pastures here!
ReplyDeleteWhat were those dogs bred for? Cute little girl, like a teddy bear.
Welsh terriers are a historic breed. Ratters and badger killers
DeleteMary is thinking...
ReplyDeletei gud dug empress mary is thinkin what is this gud smell i mary should be knowing what these gud smelly white things are but i mary is knowing lemon and garlic should be used
cheers, parsnip
The ewes were stamping their feet at Mary and she was bemused
DeleteRed or black pepper John? If it’s red pepper then I totally get it... there IS a lot riding on it. If it is black then what’s the prob?
ReplyDeleteLX
Red of course with chilli too
DeleteWow, I’m impressed.
DeleteIt is so lovely when you see a ewe standing her ground and the stamping certainly is a sound... no wonder Mary was a tad perplexed... ‘She obviously doesn’t know the rules of the game!’ thinks Mary. ‘I’m top dog around here!’

Away from the pack Mary is surprisingly shy
DeleteI think Mary is wishing she were a sheep dog.
ReplyDeleteShe came face to face with Irene once and chased her until both nearly collapsed
DeleteJust look at that eye contact between Mary and the lamb on the right!
ReplyDeleteEaster to me is about spring and new life, but counting one's blessings as well is never a bad idea.
It's been a lovely day
DeleteCharming photo. That soup sounds so good. Our town is filling up for Semana Santa. Groan.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know semana Santa meant Holy Week!
DeleteGo to your lovely restaurant and get spoilt by your waiters
Hooray for counting/acknowledging our many blessings.
ReplyDeleteThe sunshine helps!
DeleteThat lentil soup sounds so good. It's a chilly, overcast day here and a hot bowl of soup would be just the thing, especially with a big slab of crusty, buttery bread to dip.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely too...warming and very tasty
DeleteI've been chased by a Ram defending his girls once...I never knew I could high jump a barbed wire fence! Sheep are surprisingly agile when they want to be! Mary looks almost about to get in there and mix it up with the lambs.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
The ewes can be just as aggressive as the rams when lambs are about. Ewes have another talent. They ACTUALLY LOOK angry when crossed
DeleteMaybe she wants to be a sheepdog.
ReplyDeleteShe's a hunter Kirk and just loves to chase
DeleteI popped by on the off chance and yay there were blog posts. Good to see you back 😊
ReplyDeleteYou can't keep a good girl down
DeleteAnd a happy Palm Sunday to you too. So glad to read that your church hasn't died.
ReplyDeleteThe sheep round out the village. I sat next to a guy from Wales yesterday evening, on his way to a driving trip in California and Nevada. A red faced Welshman
ReplyDeleteHow lucky were you
DeleteLooks so spring-like in your village now. Lambs must be a good sign temperatures are on the up. It's still crazy summer weather in this neck of the woods but my cooking is transitioning over to the cooler menus. Today (est. 27 degrees) I'm doing a big batch of baked beans.
ReplyDeleteWould the ewes have gone in to protect their lambs, or just threatened and then turned tail?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't some sun make all the difference? Too many grey days and I turn grey too.
Spring is in the air... for me - Autumn.
ReplyDeleteAsparagus from Peru is in now the shops. A sure sign of spring.
ReplyDeleteMy rhubarb is poking through. That's another.
The sun shone....
ReplyDeleteLooks like an aspiring sheepdog to me....
ReplyDeleteWow !!! absolutely fantastic blog. I am very glad to have such useful information.
