The nettles are back….
I arrived home from work last night and there was a parcel waiting for me. It was a handmade gift from my sister.

She is so clever. He has moveable arms and legs and looks really cute.
The nettles being back is not really a reason to be cheerful but I have been off today so have spent the afternoon clearing my part of the riverbank and I have chatted to so many people – all at a social distance of course!

Anyway back to my little bear. I am going to call him Spencer. The name Captain Tom was given to the bear my sister gave to the school where she works. I am naming him Spencer after a lady who was taken by this horrible disease. She used to test the Brownies for their merit badges. 😷
Hoping that you ate finding reasons to be cheerful?
Woolly wishes
Jane ♡♡♡

He’s adorable! Definitely a reason to be cheerful! Is that a golden bearded iris behind him in the first photo? I’m cheerful because mine are starting to bloom over here! 😀

Do you eat the nettles? Or are they not as edible as ours here in VT? I don’t have them on my land, but I am eating fiddleheads.

No but I believe they can be used to make nettle tea and for herbal remedies. As they are on a public foot path lots of dogs wee on them so I prefer to try and get rid of them 😉

Well, dog pee is a good reason to not eat them!
