2022 Project 365 // Days 57 - 63

 

26th February 2022
Had the pleasure of getting hugs and kisses from the 4 most loving cats ever today
 after a week away from CP.Caranella, Alfie, Edgar and Harry.

This morning was also subject to a monumental moment when in a turn of events our rescue Rhea was released!
Since my last post about her only a few days ago, she'd been showing a few signs of interest in flying so we removed the run and let her come out.
Seven weeks to the day after the rescue, she took off and I was over the moon to see her fly again.

27th February 2022
Usually, I wouldn't post two cat photos back to back, but our Aurora was just too cute in the sunshine!

28th February 2022
Surprise bean prints appeared on the window when making soup for tonight's tea 😍

1st March 2022
Well, here's March.
Spring is officially meant to start on the 20th of this month, but as I predicted the frost
has returned and I think it'll be a cold month if climate change has anything to do with it.
(And it sadly does).

2nd March 2022
The best time to visit Beamish is a rainy day!
Nice and quiet, which makes for a less stressful, more enjoyable day for us all.
We even got to see the new 50's Front Street with no one around.
Baker is obsessed with Beamish, the word is to him what the word walkies is to most dogs!
He was chuffed to visit his horsey pal too.

(He always has his lead on but it's a bright yellow 'nervous' lead so I edit it out of photos.)

3rd March 2022
Happy World Book Day 📖 and World Wildlife Day 🦎
 Last year Hela posed for WBD so I thought I'd include her sister Freya this year...
she isn't as easy to photograph though so this will have to do!

4th March 2022
We don't have a greenhouse anymore, so I don't know where our veg plants are going this
year but it hasn't stopped Mr H from starting the seeds off!

19th February 2022
The small signs of Spring are slowly seeping North.

20th February 2022
Its been 6 weeks since Rhea came to us and she's doing really well.
Sadly, it does not look like she will have full use of her wing again therefore won't be able to be re-released but we're happy to keep her as part of our family.*
We're going to look into getting a bigger, more permanent home for her ASAP and some sort of friend to keep her company...

(* there are no rescues around that would take care of her long term.
Many will just PTS birds with injured wings, especially pigeons.
I have plenty of experience, time and love to devote to her rather than risk her losing her life.)

21st February 2022
Yet another sky photo for February.
I've been trying to get outside more, even just 15 minutes in the garden with Rhea.
It's nice to see the blue sky.

22nd February 2022
The best vegan chocolate cake for Mr H's 31st 🎂

23rd February 2022
1 year, 9 months, 25 days and 5 storms in the past 3 months and the greenhouse has sadly met its end.
 Ripped and wrecked we decided to call it a day and take it down today.
It's sad to see it go but the garden looks a lot bigger again.
I'd say better but it always looks awful in the winter so after a little work come the drier weather it will be better. 

24th February 2022
Our special, handmade, glass Lucky Ducks from our day in Whitby.
We always need a souvenir even if it's somewhere we've been to before or go to often.

25th February 2022
Book 6 of the year.
Disappointing considering we're two months into the year, but I'm happy with it seeing as
my 1st book of 2022 was 900 odd pages and took the full month of January.
It's so nice to get out and read in the garden too. Looking forward to more of this.

Fast-moving clouds and windsurfing birds 🌥️

14th February 2022
We don't do Valentines, I love my husband every day and don't need a Hallmark holiday to remind me,
 but he's had a hard time at work recently so I thought I'd be funny and make heart shape pizza for tea 😂🍕🖤
(To be fair, literally, the only holiday we celebrate is Halloween which is also our Anniversary
so it's nothing new if you call me a scrooge, I've heard it all before)

15th February 2022
Always have to make time for a walk when I go to my hometown.
The photos are deceiving but the waves were pretty big!
The lighthouse is looking great after its repaint too. 🌊

16th February 2022
Our first day trip together...ever. We've been together 4 years this year, married 3 and we've only spent the night in Edinburgh once.
Whitby is somewhere we both have been multiple times before during our lives and have ties to so this trip has been 'planned' for literal years.
We bit the bullet and went as an early birthday day out for Mr H hoping that winter would be quieter, especially before the school holidays.
It wasn't bad but obviously having not left my house pretty much and definitely not being in public since February of 2020 it was difficult for me.
(Especially seeing as everyone is completely back to normal and not a mask in sight 🙄)

My main port of call was St Mary's Church as my 5,6,7,8 and 9x Great Grandfathers were born in Whitby, and all but the 9th married in that church, so we headed there first.
We experienced multiple seasons in our short visit which was fun and can at least say I've been somewhere in the past 2 years now.

17th February 2022
Last nights Snow Moon stayed up late.

18th February 2022
Mars sunbathing unaware of the winds outside!
It makes me sad for all the small pets that have to live outdoors.

Tutti, Eddie & Penny, Oliver, Buck & Manny and Jasper & Pumpkin 🖤🐈

6th February 2022
So happy that life is slowly appearing again.

7th February 2022
7.30am and the sun is rising.
Hopefully, it won't be long until it's getting up when we do at 6am.
Dark mornings aren't great.

8th February 2022
Our Haunted Librarians Guild box arrived today!
One of our favourite artists, Sian Ellis, and such a cool box.
Glad to have been able to nab one this time around. 👻📖

9th February 2022
Lots of love from Pheobe, Peaches, Rafiki and others today. Much needed!
How can anyone do any animal, but especially these defenceless babies, harm?

10th February 2022 
A perfectly round sheet of ice from Rhea's birdbath! It's so cold this week. ❄️

11th February 2022 
Some fresh air in the garden with my boy.
It's chilly still though and he's a cold tattie so it didn't last long!
We've had a bit of drama though with a bit of an injury (unrelated to playing) this afternoon.
Lots of blood and stress for us both. 😔
