Love the hat. I have another newt for today. I gave away my bicycle. I was given this bike as a present for passing my O Levels when I was 16.
It served me well into adulthood when I used to cycle from the London/Essex borders into Central London to work and home (I started doing this during a tube strike and then just carried on because I preferred it.) There was a massive roundabout at the Bow flyover which I hated going round so on the way home (but never on the way in) I always cycled over the flyover. I must have had no fear in those days.
Anyway the bike stayed in my parents garage after I left home then in our shed after a house move by my parents. But it hasn't been ridden in probably 20 years and so I gave an honest description of it on FB market place and a lady from just round the corner said her husband has a week off work next week so he can get it back into working order (he'll be thrilled) so could she have it. It was a sad newt but not as sad as if I'd had to take it to the tip.
(That's quite a long post perhaps I should write a blog.....)

Went for a hike today. Went down some new paths and saw our first violets of the year.

I have violets in the front lawn - and had to keep lifting the mower blades up yesterday so I didn't behead them all - I love violets

And I bought some violas today. I was a gonner as soon as Lazy Daisy mentioned their cheerful little faces in a blog

Wow that’s a long time to keep a bike BBL, but good that it will be fixed up and used again.

We've got lots of violets too.
I can't think of anything newtish today. I did a sprint session I haven't done before - but it didn't seem novel enough to qualify. Raffo's nabbing all the newts here, I'll have to newt by proxy...

I think it was sea-something Sharkie. Sea Fade?
I've got some very Not Newt violas in the garden that I think I planted in November. Can't believe how well they've done.

Aww thanks Fleecy ❤️ I hate presenting no matter how well I know my subject or how often I do it. Appreciate the kudos.
Loving the campervan MM & cool hat Maz they keep popping up on FB ads since hats were mentioned the other day.
Right I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for newting duties!
