Found this competition to win a Kindle and there are no strings!
We used to call these woods Primrose woods – but you’d be hard pressed to find a primrose there these days. However the ground is absolutely covered with wood anemones. From a distance, it almost looks as if there’s been a dusting of snow.
And what is the message on the dashboard about Blogger getting a new look in April? Upgrade now it says. All I can say is – eek!
I've entered the comp, thanks. (Just don't tell them I'm a Yorkshire Tea drinker!)
ReplyDeleteI keep getting 'service unavailable' when I come to Blogger. Oh dear,not a good sign. Change is afoot!
I love anemones - and hate upgrades!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa, for the information about the competition. I'm off to have a look now.
ReplyDeleteWoods in Spring are very special, but it's a shame about primroses becoming a rarer sight.Your pictures are beautiful. I love the shadows of the trees.
The woods look lovely - just perfect for dog walking.
ReplyDeleteI won't tell, Joanne ;-) We all seem to be getting these error messages lately x
ReplyDeleteThey're like little stars aren't they, Patsy. As for upgrades - if they made it properly in the first place they wouldn't need to do them tsk x
It is a shame isn't it, Joanna. There are a lot of things named after the primroses round there, but hardly a primrose in sight x
They are, Annieye - Indy loves them x
Lovely photos, Teresa, and sweet little flowers. Thanks for the link - will check it out.
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing that message too and was hoping someone else has already done it and can tell us what's different!
I love PG Tips, but still don't want a Kindle. I cancelled my blog as I wasn't writing and I do miss it, but I'm writing again so that's good. Still following all you lovely bloggers though.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping the same thing, Rosemary. It doesn't give you the option to preview it does it. All or nothing! x
ReplyDeleteAh I wondered where you'd gone, Maggie. Glad you're writing! Did you ever make that dress? x
I wonder why the primroses have declined. It would be interesting to know. I don't think it's a general decline in primroses. I've just been away in Suffolk and there were primroses EVERYWHERE - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they have any primroses on Primrose hill any more, either, come to think of it...
I agree about the new Blogger. I've tried the updated interface and hate it. I suppose we won't have any choice.
I suppose that's why my blog's been doing weird things for the past week or so. More changes. I'm Taurean - I hate change!
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the anemones is beautiful, Teresa. We have a lot of them too in the wood next to our garden, but interspersed with bluebells. It's like fairyland.
ReplyDeleteBiddy Fraser
Jenny, I think partly it was because people used to dig them up in the woods for their gardens! Oh that doesn't sound very promising about Blogger :-( x
ReplyDeleteMe too, Jacula - Taurean through and through x
Sounds lovely, Biddy - the bluebells in the woods seem to have largely disappeared round here, which is a shame x
I bought the material Teresa and it's on my 'to do' list. I presume you've done yours as you have been busy on your sewing machine? Nice that you missed me.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of Spring.
ReplyDeleteI don't like it when Blogger makes changes. Feeling a little insecure now
Yes, it was the first thing I made, Maggie. It's a lovely little pattern and was really nice to make up x
ReplyDeleteI don't either, Maria - insecure is precisely what it makes me feel too x
Thanks for the link Teresa, hope I win one, then I can download your kindle books. I don't like reading off the computer, seems silly. Lovely pictures, and I say eeeeekkkkk indeed about the upgrade.
ReplyDeleteWhy do things always have to be improved? Blogger is/was allright as it is/was. I don't like change. It's rarely an improvement.
ReplyDeleteI don't like reading off the computer either, Suzy - probably feels too much like work! Good luck with the comp x
ReplyDeleteHow I agree, Lynne - you just know whenever they "improve" something it is just going to make life more difficult x
I'm looking forward to making it Teresa (I think). I'm a bit nervous as I'm doing it by hand, and I haven't made anything like this since my own daughter was little. That's why I keep putting it off, but I will do it.
ReplyDeleteIt was the same here, Maggie - but it all came back to me as I went along x
ReplyDeleteHey Teresa,
ReplyDeleteAnd eek, those "Primrose woods" may have had a smattering of snow on them the other day if the weather was as weird as ours was in Leek :)
And eek, Blogger and it's um improvements have been a pain in the you know what!
Take care and happy writing x
Oh, thanks for the link. My niece has lost her Kindle, so I'd love to win one for her.
ReplyDeleteXX
We didn't get any snow, Gary, but it's been blimmin cold! x
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Suz - would be lovely if you could win one for your neice x
