1ST DAYS




of springtime.

welcoming you with open arms. i so hope that the season carries on as it began...wonderful fresh sunny days here. i have spent so much time out in the garden this week and it is a true tonic. i almost forgot how good it is just to be a couple of steps from the carpet of the house.

a couple of today's simple joys...

strong coffee sat on the decking. watching elsa lay next to bosco on a blanket (she calls him "little darling"...he has to be one of the most patient cat companions i've seen.)

listening to the archers through the open window from the kitchen whilst edging the lawn (that probably makes me sound very old. i don't care. it was brilliant.)

picking the teeniest of flowers with elsa. probably some sort of weeds but so pretty! we made a posy for a fairy but then decided it would make a wonderful headpiece for elephant...seeking inspiration for an upcoming wedding. me too.

all the fresh air and i am happily weary this evening. leftover barbeque supper from last night...no dishes!

shari is sharing some lovely spring manifestos. i am really enjoying the series so far. must be time to note some of my own.

    1. oh thank you jojo...i am a long time devotee of r4. the archers is my very favourite thing! it's just that combined with the lawn maintenance...but the gentle rhythm of both really was perfect today.

    1. hoping warmer days are on their way to you victoria. it's been another lovely one here and more gardening done. plan on sitting to enjoy it all with a nice glass of something over the weekend! clocks about to change so we get lighter evenings soon. bliss! but it will call for the blackout blind to be located for little miss!! x

  4. Very pretty. I've never really listened to the Archers. But I think I might start :)
