A Wedding Celebration ~

On Tuesday 14th April,2009 I gained a daughter and grand daughter following the marriage of my son Daniel to Christina. It was a beautiful occasion.

A family group.....

All the pretty bridesmaids.

Myself, my sister Mandy and my niece Heather deep in conversation.

The gardens of the 17th century mill where the wedding took place are really romantic with lots of pretty spots to take photo's.

The air around the waterfall felt so cool and fresh.

It was good to catch up with family.

A truly delightful day filled with precious memories.

I am so happy for my new family and I know they are very happy together.

Congratulations and all our love and best wishes for the future.

Happy Easter

In the garden..........

Purely recreational today taking some pics of pretty flowers.
This little cutie has been in the loft for years and I found her again yesterday whilst looking for something else (which I didn't find - typical).

Anyway I have discovered that it doesn't do to be too precious about the flowers when you share the garden with a fur baby. Huge paws rampage here and there without a care in the world.

I love the colour of these.

The cheer that these bring without fail each Spring.

Magnolia flowers and damson blossom.

Plus someone in the background inspecting the condition of the soil.

Mmmmm is it warm enough to plant out yet?

I don't think so.

Sweet and tiny Forget-me-not flowers.

These spread each year.

Hmmmm.........what have we here.

Ah yes, Columbine leaves sprouting through the undergrowth.

Thank goodness for flowers and a garden and a fur baby to keep me in check ;))

Spring Cleaning ~

Such a beautiful day......the sun shone down from the deepest blue sky.
The garden beckoned in all its new colours.

The Magnolia tree looks glorious and a visiting bee enjoys sipping the nectar.

Such a delicious colour. Now down to some chores that have been long overdue.

Spring cleaning commenced with my kitchen chairs.

Lots of soapy suds and in no time at all they were gleaming and shiny and dry.

I think I'll just sit down for a moment.

Listen to the bee buzzing and humming and just enjoying being alive.

It's so good to be outside once again.

Bliss!!!

Cabinet Dolls ~

Settled into their new home with some of my other treasures.

*Tea and Cake*

Mmmmm - two of my most favourite things. Homebaked cake and a nice freshly brewed pot of tea.

Kept nice and hot with a kitsch tea cosy which I recently made. :)

**** Pink ****

Pink and white - perfect partners.

Pink flowers on white china, pink and white china on a white dresser.

Pink flower fairy lights and pink angel fairy lights.

Pink rose quartz.

Pink glass inkwell.

Every shade of pink.

Pink flowers on pink saucers.

I think I love pink :)
