Hi everyone, I had a little set back last week with a bout of Vertigo, fortunately it didn't last long as I did the exercises that the GP had shown me. It was quite upsetting though as hubby had to help me walk around and do anything that helped me avoid bending over!
Since then I have been fine and this morning went looking for Snowdrops at the Parsonage in Didsbury. It is where the RSPB was first formed by Emily Williamson. There's more info here.
We have been lucky enough to have had some treats this week. One was a full meal that, because we had a discount voucher and used our loyalty points, cost us nothing, but I totally forgot to take photos! We also had a free coffee with a voucher and also coffee and cake for us both at John Lewis as we had been regular customers.
This is what we had this morning..
I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth at The Altered Book Lover blog for T Stands For Tuesday.
It is often mentioned how hubby is always smiling....sometimes he just won't play ball... generally I wait and smile, sometimes try to coax him but sometimes I get this.
We had a really delicious risotto with a huge carafe of water.
We would like to go back and explore the town and maybe have another meal here.
There is a large Abbey here
I hope I have more success in making comments on some blogs - it may have been due to brain fog but I just couldn't leave comments on some.
Thanks for looking, Chris
How lovely to see snowdrops! I haven't seen any in the gardens here, but some daffodils are showing themselves! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteNobody smiles all the time--LOL! ;)
Glad you're feeling better friend
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Chris, love seeing France and wow snowdrops we are months away from those spring bulbs. Hugs Happy T and feel better Kathy
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the exercise helped the vertigo. What pretty flowers! It looks like a nice place for an outing. I'd love to have some of the walnut cake with coffee. Yummm. Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see the snowdrops and flowers, thanks for sharing! The snowdrops are starting to appear at Lytham Hall but they seem to be very small this year 😊. I smiled at the photos of your hubby, mine is like that too ...lol! Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x

ReplyDeleteWe are just starting full winter weather, so your snowdrops just blow me away!
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I hope you continue to feel better, Chris. So nice of you to share all these lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd a free dinner is always great! :) Happy T Day.
Great photos from France, always! the snowdrops are so pretty and a sign of Spring on the way (hurrah!) Glad the vertigo was a short bout.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your vertigo. Beautiful first signs of Spring flowers. Great assortment of photos.
ReplyDeleteToo early here for snowdrops as they would be buried under snow. Your hubby is such a good sport to have his picture taken. I guess he's entitled to be a grump once in a while. 😉 Your treats look so good and I love that little pot of jam. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteThat vertigo sounds awful, Chris! So glad that you are doing better.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the photo of your coffee and dessert as well as more gorgeous buildings and scenery from France. Someday, I may get to visit. How fun that you got an entire meal free as well as some coffee. It pays to be a loyalty member, or were your vouchers from something else? Always love seeing photos of your travels and food as it makes me feel as though I am along for the ride.
Happy Belated Tea Day,
Kate
You have green already. Wow! Those look so wonderful. And I had to laugh at the hubby photos. Mine always makes faces and then wonders why he never looks good in photos. And thanks for sharing some time back in France with us too. Hope it was a good T day. Hugs Erika
ReplyDeleteSTILL playing catch up. I've never seen snowdrops, except in photos, so it looks like spribng is headed your way, as it gets colder and colder here.
ReplyDeleteSome days it's like that when you don't want to smile. I always tell Sally to smile when I put the camera in her face, or else she has a constant frown on her face. Sounds like you ate very cheaply when you went out. Were I so lucky! Good for you.
Loved seeing more photos from France. That cross must be HUGE. Lovely old architecture, too.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful trip and your food and drinks with us for T this week, dear Chris.
The edgeworthia plant is intriguing I will have to look it up - it looks like mini pumpkins! Loved seeing the snowdrops also. We used to have some growing under the hedge but I don't know where they are this year, there's no sign of them. Love coffee and walnut cake, that would make anyone smile! So sorry, RL got in the way, and I am terribly late. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
