I hope that this isn't a sign of things to come for the bank holiday weekend, bring on some sunshine - enjoy!

I have no idea what these flowers are, but I spotted them in a hanging basket while out and about at the weekend - a bright burst of late summer colour.

A beautiful day at the Broads today with our girls, a boat trip and delicious lunch - if only every friday could be like this. Have a good weekend.

With two daughters now there's no excuse for not having something pretty around the house to photograph!

I love the sound and sight of running water, especially when it's as beautiful and tranquil as this.

Unlike last year we have had a bumper crop of plums on our tree this summer - so today was a busy day for me and my daughter with 'harvesting' and cooking.

How can it be that she is nearly ready to move onto her next stage, stop growing so fast...!

Another home baking attempt - this time raspberry cheesecake... went down well I am pleased to say!

I wish I could say these roses were gathered from my own garden or found on a stall at the gate of a rambling country cottage, but alas they are supermarket bought but still delicate and pretty and give me pleasure to look at them.

With the constant juggling that seem to fill my days at the moment, I consider myself to have had a minor triumph today - I made cupcakes with my 4 year old daughter for the first time since having her sister 4 months ago. It may seem like a small thing, but add to it a lovely visit from my good friend aswell and I feel I can go to bed happy. Have a good weekend.

The extremes of our british weather especially during the summer months are amazing, and I guess it always gives us something to talk about!

In this hot weather an ice cream break is exactly what's needed!

Sometimes on a chaotic day, I dream of a quiet five minutes in a tranquil place such as this...

Feeling the sand between her toes, my youngest daughter's first trip to the beach!
