A few more captures from yesterday’s walk around Hamble Le Rice yesterday. The sun was hiding behind the clouds already as I walked back, but I managed to capture a few more cute sights… like the red door house with red flowers on both sides. Tell me that’s not adorable?
Also a very cute little restaurant on the last picture - I would love to dine there, but as I was on my own, I didn’t try it.
How about you guys? Do you ever go to a restaurant on your own?
Today I am visiting a cute little village for my second interview. Hemble le Rice is so lovely and peaceful, I decided to take a stroll around it and as I sat on the bench by the water, an article came out of nowhere:

It would be lovely to come and sit here after a day of work. I have some tough decisions to make!
Yesterday, as every Tuesday I visited my friend and took some more close up pictures of the beautiful yellow Dendrobium that I posted for you yesterday. The only downside of this amazing plant is that the flowers don’t last very long. Only a few days after it started blooming a few of them already dried and dropped. A reminder to really appreciate the moments of beauty and happiness while they last…
Another Dendrobium of hers - Berry Oda - almost never stops blooming. Every time I visit it’s in bloom. Such a cheerful little plant to always make us smile 😊
My friend just sent me this picture. A few years ago I purchased this orchid during orchid show from a seller from Taiwan. While repotting I decided to split it into 2 plants and gift 1 part to my friend Tina.
My half bloomed couple of times since then, but not this year. Imagine my happiness when I went to visit her couple of weeks ago and she showed me a flower spike on her Dendrobium orchid! Ever since I was excited to see those beautiful blooms and finally they’re all open. What an amazing Gaia gift 🤩
Second day in a row I have been clearing my front garden. It has been covered by the last year’s foliage, weeds and old branches and I couldn’t find it in me to get it all sorted.
Last few days the builders were here to build my neighbours wall and seeing them work and joke around picked me up a little bit. My neighbour is also off work, so we had a few chats and he shook his head seeing the state of my garden. It is very unlike me to let my garden go untidy and lacking love.
So eventually I picked up my secateurs and brush and started tidying it all up. 2 bags were filled with garden waste and although there is always more to do, I feel a little better seeing my flowers in a tidier surroundings.
How has your weekend been dear noisy friends? 💙
A few captures from my walk in the forest the other week. The forest is getting dryer again. The second picture shows the most tricky place to cross… usually it’s full of water and impossible to cross without wellies on, but now I can go back to trainers and only step through the stones without getting wet.
I shall start walking some more now!
Happy weekend noisy Gaia Lovers 💙
After some weeks of absence I decided it was time to start writing again. Long overdue first year anniversary article is out if you fancy a quick read:

How are you noisy people? I have been away for a salsa weekend and still recovering after all the mad parties we had 🙈
Early Caturday for you cat lovers!
I’m visiting my friend Beatriz today to beautify myself before the weekend. Her catto is clearly posing for pictures, don’t ya think?
Tuesdays as usual I spent with my friend and her dogs. I managed to catch all 3 of them resting together close enough to fit into one picture!
Lady is the darkest on the top left. DollyLolly laying next to her and Alfie on the floor.
Good job they didn’t notice me picking up my phone or else there would be another ‘moving’ picture 😅
A couple of tulips from my back garden for you noisy people. The funky edged ones are sure my favourites still.
I realised I haven’t posted for days again. I have been so stressed I can’t really concentrate on posting and/or interaction. I will try to be more social in the coming days 💙
Off to the forest we go… to loose my mind and find my soul.
Since I can’t concentrate on anything productive, I better give this dog a nice long walk.
Time for a confession you guys. I’ve been holding this to myself for too long, but what is an experience if we can’t share it with others, so they can hopefully learn from it it?
Have I learned from this myself? I shall hope so! It did make me withdraw from all the online activities I had grown accustomed to and take stock of the damage.
Crypto is a great world of opportunities, but also full of dangers if you are not careful or over confident. Please learn from other people’s mistakes rather than making them yourselves:

First thing I smelled this morning as I walked outside my house was this Fresia. I was amazed by the beautiful scent and looked around for the source and as soon as I looked at this not flashy flower, I knew this was it. Fresias are my mum’s favourite flowers. I always think of her when I look at them or smell them.
After my morning coffee, I did some washing and decided to take Alfie to the allotment again. Weather is glorious and while I dig up my new sunny spot, Alfie lays in the shade, watching me work.
That’s what my Easter looks like. How is yours going dear noisers? 💙
Guess who is back?! Yes, it’s Alfie. He will stay with me for maybe a week, so his doesn’t bother his mum and sister while they’re on the heat. I guess I’ll be walking a lot, which should do me good and the weather is glorious too.
Yesterday both of my besties - Crystal and Tina were here with me and helped me move some furnitures around my living room to create more breathing space. I barely touched my phone, cause the day was really packed full of experiences.
Ohh, and my car passed MOT yesterday too, so I’m a happy girl 😍
After a lovely week away at my friend’s place it’s time to get back to reality here. My car needs to go for MOT tomorrow, so I decided to go to second hand tyre place to check the tyres and replace 2 of them.
I always used to get new tyres, but the prices of these go off the roof recently plus my usual place charges £20 for recycling the old tyre, so the time has come to check out how reconditioned tyres will do. I guess time will tell 😉
Yesterday was a lovely day. We took my friend’s dog, daughter and niece to a nearby village for a walk and shop around. Of course my favourite part of it was a walk through the forest. Kylo was in his element, although Crystal doesn’t let him off the lead, cause he would run away hunting 🙈
Today I am packed and ready for my 4 hours drive back home. It’s been a lovely little holiday.
My little holiday is coming to an end and tomorrow I’ll be driving back home. I thought it was a good time to write an article about my home away from home experience here:
https://read.cash/@fantagira/home-away-from-home-my-trip-up-north-writing-prompt-23-c3410e2d
In the meantime I still enjoy my coffee in the garden with Kylo and these serene surroundings 💙
It’s been a busy weekend with carboot sale, salsa party in Yorkshire and visiting my friend’s family.
Today has been sleepy and lazy day and now time to sleep. Good day to those who are waking up to a new day now 💙
Got hold of my old phone again. I have so many edited yet unpublished here pictures. Perfect for a day like today, when I took none. Not that nothing happened, rather too busy to reach for my phone to capture it.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend 💙
A few tulips that I managed to capture before going for my little adventure across England. It’s not fully tulip season yet, but many varieties have shown their pretty heads already.
Also my magnolia only had 3 flowers this year. I was hoping for more as it gets older, but still… that’s 3 more than my friend’s magnolia tree. She bought 2 on offer and gave me one of them. One day I’m planning to plant it in my big garden. In the current one it would take too much space.
Happy weekend noisy friends 💙
My scarf is back 😍
Only for a few hours, but we got plenty of cuddles with DollyLolly. Tomorrow I’ll be driving for 4 hours to visit my other bestie, who decided to move way up North from me. The things we do for cuddles 😅
Night night all
Blimey! It’s 2am already!
I can’t remember last time I went to bed so late. I try to sleep before midnight these days, but I realised I still haven’t posted my March summary on read.cash or anything else in April, so I had to finish it before heading to sleep:

Happy new week noisy friends 💙
Some of my favourite spring flowers are those tiny violets. They remind me of childhood and their scent is just amazing.
These grow abundantly in one of the lawns I walk past on my way to the forest. Last year I saw a gardener cutting the whole lawn including these and I was sad, wondering if they will be back. Well, they are back. Nature knows it’s ways to always come back 💙
Friday is now back for walking day with my friend. We start and stop and start the Fridays walking again and again, so I’m super happy that we’re back on track 3rd week in a row.
So we had a great chat, lots of laughs which is always helpful to clear our heads. In a about half an hour she’ll have a debut of their new ladies team show, so I’m just saying a quick hi before I leave to the salsa party 😍
Dropping these beauties I capture during our walk today. Various primroses and equally beautiful daffodils.
Happy Friday noisy people 💙
My weather app shows - 2 temperature at night and I’ve heard that it was snowing in other parts of England, but with a sunny morning we had today I didn’t think this could happen.
Well, I was wrong - the snow decided to fall today! Not much of it, but still snow 😉
My latest article guys:

The weather cooled down a lot this week. We even have -1 degree at night and a very cold wind during the day, as well as snow in some parts of England. Yesterday was rather gloomy, but I stopped by the park on the way back home and had a nice walk.
After the walk in the forest when I overdone it a bit, My hips are in pain, but Im hoping a little walk will keep the joins moving and hopefully this won’t last for too long, as I have some dancing to do this Friday!
The tree by the lake in the park has fallen. It was a big, old oak, which already started growing first leaves after winter. Sad to see, but that’s nature.
Yesterday finally I went to my nearby forest again. Gosh, I missed the smell of the forest. It’s like free aromatherapy session plus exercise!
The way to the forest leads past the house with the bush which name I don’t know, but I absolutely adore those orange flowers it is covered with at this time of the year. It’s only just starting, so next week maybe I’ll see it in its full glory again.
Of course I overdone it, cause today my hips are killing me, but a little yoga sure will help with the pain. I just really need to get more fit. No good doing nothing for days and then walk 3h in one day 🙈
Sitting next to those cute hyacinths is so pleasant. Their scent is intoxicating 😍 Even my new house mate notice the smell.
Weekend turned out to be full of pleasant surprises. Like yesterday evening, when I came indoors from being in the garden almost all day. I was wondering what to do next, when a new’ish friend of mine messaged me to ask if I’d like to go to a salsa party with her and our other friend.
I nearly cried from happiness! With money being tight I wasn’t going out dancing in the last few weeks, but I missed this so much. Even though I wasn’t expecting much from the party we were going to, it turned out to be one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time.
Today smile doesn’t leave my face 😍
Since last week my friend Laleh and I restarted out weekly walks in the park. Quite frankly we both needed a good recharge with each other, we both feel lifted up after those walks.
Today we walked through old cemetery. It’s full of beautiful old figurines and spring flowers and frees in bloom. Somehow the problems seem smaller when shared with loved ones and nature 💙
I’ve been working on my shady allotment plot all this week just to find out that deep in my email was hidden an email telling me that I can take over the sunny spot I enquired about last year 😅
That’s what you call blindness my friends. Also known as old age.
Also even though the rewards for Honeycomb have been greatly reduced, I can’t stay away from it either! Finally I’ve made it to 1st place somehow 😁
