the past week or so

It's been a busy week or so, our jobs have meant busy days and our home time has been spent tidying, cleaning and making room in the house for mid week visitors. Our good friend Martha and her little boy Noah, came to stay with us for a couple of nights. The weather has finally improved too and we've been enjoying warm evenings out in the garden. Tit has now moved outside to his/her house for day and night. And as of today we are on holiday for two weeks - it feels like bliss already. No plans yet, lots of things we'd like to get done at home, places we'd like to visit and a few days away wouldn't go a miss - let's see.

another (wet & grey) day

Over the weekend we filled the house with flowers. Cornflowers from the car boot, the rest from the garden. Today they remind me it's summer - I need a reminder when it looks like this outside (top) and I'm wearing 2 wooly jumpers and knitted slipper socks indoors.

hoard or collect - letters

This is an old collection, it lives in this little house. A collection of letters - as in ABC. Remember these, the coloured ones? You used to get them as the lids for the smarties tube. I wish I'd collected them from every tube of smarties, but I didn't.
