Feels like Spring today.

A little time spent in the greenhouse this morning sewing seeds, lettuce, cucumber, and sweet peas.
Hope they come on well.
Also this weekend we have purchased two new trees .An Apple tree named Jupiter and a conference pear, the reason for adding two new trees to our garden is that the lovely palm tree that has been in our garden for over twenty years has been looking very sad since Winter.
It had lost all its foliage and had gone all droopy and mushy .
We decided to take it out and replace with the new two fruit trees.
Will post photos when my camera is behaving.

March winds doth blow and we shall have snow.
Oh I hope not.

 These lovely girls provide eggs where I work .
In return they are fed ,watered and looked after sooo well they play outside all day and puy themselves to bed at dusk .

They are kept safe in here so they dont wander into the car park.


  Lovely still warm .

Tuesday Scrumptious

Breakfast is always a good start to the day.


Having had a delivery of a new cookbook, Kitchen by Nigella Lawson and i'm absolutely delighted with the purchase.


Over the weekend I made the chicken tarragon recipe and it was delicious, my lovely hubby was 
tucking in. No pictures, unfortunately, as we snaffled up before I could take any. We then tried the pappardelle and butter-nut squash with blue cheese, although I didnt have blue cheese, so I substituted it with mozzarella, yum. It was so lovely I am repeating it tonight, hence, Tuesday Scrumptious. Looking forward to the programme to see more of the lovely food.

I also like eating out and trying different foods this made me laugh I used to watch the I Love Lucy episodes, .hope this will make you smile.

A corner of Lillie and Lace as you will see I am a sucker for Heart shaped things.

Autumn Winds Blow soft.

Autumn winds and disappearing rainbows.


Look at these two lovely animals I love the colours and the beauty ot the grey cow .


Hey what you looking at     


The grey made me think about a grey palette for Autumn some evening reading methinks with the dove grey of Persephone Books.


A lovely soft Rowan Wool that is going to become a cardigan I hope before too long .

Inspiration

Something such as a sudden creative idea, inspired.
Tootling by a DIY store in Wilma, thats my car by the way, I give names to things doesnt everyone?
I popped into the store a forlorn looking rack of plants in the outside area with for sale stickers on them.
I chose one that didnt have a label on to show the colour


A small rose I have named Petal, I know madness creeping in, I have taken off all the brown leaves and sad bits and look what a good nights sleep and a lovely drink has done to Petal.

 

 Not bad for a two pounds fifty purchase. 
 Enjoy your weekend to all you very artistic and creative bloggateers.
