One of the many great pleasures in having 2 daughters is when friends come over to play, we can decorate the garden with lots of pretty girlie things!

Pastel shades always inspire me, whether it be interior design or fashion and these are no exception.

Paddling pool out today, I just love a really hot day spending time outside, makes life feel so much better...

A traditional summer flower, the hollyhock; on what has finally been a traditional summer day, it's been a long while coming...

And this is July! I know everyone is going on about the weather but it really is not much like summer.

I don't think I will ever tire of seeing a display of bunting...

It rained here today - a lot, then it rained some more. Here is one set of happy feet though!
