Exercise:
I have changed my dog walking routine, and now take Barney out about 4pm, instead of first thing in the morning. I love how this is working out! The weather has been wonderful, warm and sunny for the most part. Here's a picture of the Ilex trees in the afternoon sunshine.
As well as my daily walk, I have been doing an online exercise class each day. Throughout March I tried to do some yoga each day, which has stood me in good stead to carry on through April. I have found 2 You Tube sites I like: Yoga with Adrienne, and Fabulous50s. I am alternating them each morning. Here's a terrible photo of me attempting to do a 'tree' pose! I have also done a few classes from my regular yoga teacher on Zoom. I have found that I really like exercising on my own in my bedroom.
Sewing:
My major hobby at the moment! I bought several lots of fabric just before the lockdown, and have challenged myself to be more patient and take more care and be more perfectionist! Here I am modelling my maxi dress, hat and rucksack all made by me in the last few weeks:
The hat is unfortunately a little small - especially with my 'lockdown' hair, which is much bigger than normal!
I had a little experiment making a couple of facemasks from some pretty fabric. I am not sure whether we will have to wear them in the UK, but I am ready if we need them!
And of course, lots of gardening with the weather being so lovely! After a really wet winter, we have had a prolonged dry spell, so I was happy to see some rain yesterday and today! I love to see the ferns unfolding - such a promise of things to come in the garden.
