These sweet little feet...

School broke up today, slower starts in the mornings and less clock watching for two weeks - happy days!  Have a good weekend.

I cannot believe that yesterday I forgot to blog! There seems to be lots to think about and lots to do at the moment. So here's a rather calming shot of a beautiful dress on my daughters bedroom wall, never been worn, just hanging there for us to take in its beauty every day.

Blow the return to winter outside, I shall focus on after school rainy day activities instead.

One of our eldest daughters favourite pastimes is her dressing up box. And looks like it will soon be a huge hit with our youngest daughter too! Have a good weekend.

I adore pastel colours and retro design, so these jelly moulds were just the perfect choice when giving our kitchen a makeover.

...and I hope it will be as my good friend and her partner embark on their new adventures together...

A little word that is so 'big' at the moment.  Home baking seems to be everywhere and I am totally caught up in it and am a big fan of the tv series 'The Great British Bake Off'.  I have fond memories of baking with my Mum as a child and therefore have always had a love for it.  Hopefully I will pass this onto my daughters as they grow up.

Even though the weather is not particularly spring like, I do have the urge to start my spring cleaning!

They may only be cupcake cases, but to me they are quite beautiful!

Winter colds and viruses seem to have taken hold in our family early this year, so today's post was a little wander around our home to find something pretty to photograph!

Not a very girlie picture today, but a view that I have seen alot - isn't it amazing how these small bricks can be built together to make such a strong structure?

Today there could be no other image for me to blog, as it feels like this has been my view for hours and hours! However, satisfaction at the end of the day of a room well decorated is worth it.

I didn't realise until today just how much my daughter was following in my footsteps... as I was collecting flowers from the garden for arrangements in the house she was busy creating this!

My shady but 'colourful' spot in the garden on Saturday, wasn't the weather fantastic?!

Another of my summertime pleasures is watering the garden in the evening when the heat of the day has subsided, a chance to clear my head and lose my thoughts in the steady flow of the water.

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!

I have spoken before of my keen interest in gardening, this extends to a modest vegetable patch. It's more my husbands domain, but once the crops are planted the upkeep is a shared job. We are far far away from being self sufficient, but extremely satisfying to eat freshly picked vegetables. Maybe an allotment will be calling when we retire!

I love rainbows, and since I haven't seen one for ages I decided to make my own - well sort of!

And after the holiday comes the laundry! Have a good weekend.
