In my view one of the nicest things about summer is eating outside - breakfast with a clear bright sky and thoughts of a new day, finding shade at lunchtime and then dinner in a warm sunny glow and peaceful reflection at the days end.

A little corner of my garden; it had a makeover for Sunday's party and then put away again, but why? I have decided that weather permitting this summer I should enjoy my garden decorations more often and not just save for special occassions!

After much planning my daughter's birthday party yesterday was a success! I can't believe its been 3 years since we met, she's my best little friend and I love her more than I ever could have imagined...

We are going to a wedding tomorrow, and while I am a great believer in the tradition and all the day stands for, to me it also means confetti and new shoes! Have a good weekend.

My Mum's birthday today - Happy Birthday Mum! Tea on the patio and a good excuse to hang out some bunting!

In the warmth of a gorgeous summer day, the cool blue of this 'love in a mist' caught my eye. Lots of flowers have meanings and this is no exception. A quick look on google informed me that despite its name the flower actually signifies perplexity and confusion!?!

Thankyou beautiful scented Stock, last night you filled our patio with the most divine fragrance, a relaxing and calming end to a busy day.
