If the weather is warm this weekend look out for a bluebell burst .
Woodland Flowers from England
This is a good year for woodland flowers. Many can now be grown in containers in your own garden.The wild plants should not be picked. I have found my favourites, violets and primrose plants for sale on Cambridge market, they become well established quickly.
Grave Digging
Spent Sunday afternoon in London Road Cemetery, Coventry looking for my great grandparents grave. Inspite of getting a map and advice on where it is I could not find it so will seek more advice and look again another day
This cemetery is very attractive on a sunny spring day with about 2000 graves, many of them Victorian , they are very elaborate with interesting inscriptions.Primroses, violets and bluebells have grown up among the gravestones and squirrels and baby rabbits play happily in the grass.

Cambridge Weather
Cambridge was the warmest place in England today at 23 degrees.
Had to look out some cooler clothes.
If you are thinking of visiting Cambridge remember that it can be very wet and rainy in the spring.

The Grand National
Grandmas everywhere have a flutter on this race.Even though she never watches another horse race all year this one is a national event and this Grandma backs horses for herself and several family members so they can gather around the TV on Saturday afternoon and scream hysterically for their horse.
Grandma fancies Midnight Club.
Grandpa fancies State of Play
It is easy to do online, not like the old days when you crept into a book makers hoping the neighbours would not see you.
My Grandmother, Henrietta Hancock owned a bookmakers premises next to her corner shop in Adnitt Road, Northampton when I was a little girl.
She often had a flutter for me -- I would get the winnings quite frequently.
Always nice to have extra pocket

The New Phone
Still struggling with new C3 Nokia and Emails. Asked a professional to help, partial success. Emails can come in but not go out.Downloaded a 32 point advice plan from Nokia .
Grannies at the life drawing class all admitted to difficulty setting up new phones. These are very intelligent ladies, it must be the phone companies salepersons and confusing instructions that defeat us.

Tate Modern
Grannying yesterday included taking 8 year old grandson Luke to Tate Modern.The skull advertisement interested him and wanted to see it in the Orozco exhibition.This was a good art exhibition for boys with sculptures featuring a car, bicycles and car tyres.He could see how the artist used everyday objects to create his ideas about modern life and this had a lot more appeal than classical figures chipped out of marble
We also saw op art work by Bridget Riley and then collapsed in the members room with a nice lunch of smoked salmon bagels and cake.
Membership of the Tate Galleries is a good investment for grannies.
