Sandra, the photograph of daffodils is lovely,I like to see the stems too ,in a clear glass vase like that.
For my sins,but in my defence also,as a child I and my friends used to play in deep woods where bluebells grew in profusion.
We picked them to take home and never seemed to lessen their abundance.
In a Two pound jam jar( yes so many) you could see the stems ,which for me was part of their appeal.
Now I do feel guilty for whilst they still grew ,the last time we visited ,not in the great swathes we saw as children.
I made the Milk Fadge I mentioned some time ago, it was quite acceptable.
8 oz SR Flour.
1 oz lard.
Half tsp salt
Quarter pint milk.
Sift flour and salt.
Rub in lard.
Add milk ( a tad more may be needed)
Bake on pre heated baking tray in oven, 350-475 (4-5) for 30 mins.
It is light and went well with my home made soup of one small onion,a geriatric potato and the thick stalk of some broccoli.
Add a veggie stock cube ,a good pinch of dried mixed herbs,pepper.
Whizz up and there you are!
I had a teensy bit of blue cheese left and that went on the “ bread”.
I used a quarter of the Fadge with the soup ,a bit more with a cuppa wth butter and jam for my tea and have half left for today’s delectation.
I need my TV programmes mag, but don’t think I will venture out.
Someone told a joke on R.C.:-
I passed an RAC van, the latest Corona Virus News was on the radio.
The driver was sobbing ,I thought “ he’s heading for a breakdown!”
I told it via phone to son in law, his response,” Never mind he’ll make a good recovery!”
It took me a minute or two!
