Happy St Georges Day!

Good Afternoon,

Happy St Georges day one and all!, that's what my pickle came out with this morning!



So yesterday I picked pickle up from school and when we got home, she wanted to do some baking...
As it was someone in my office has Chickens and they had brought some fresh laid eggs,
Here are the eggs pre baking..

And here are the cupcakes, as you can see their is a St Georges Day, Vanilla with Strawberry and Vanilla Buttercream frosting on top!

After baking, we popped into the garden to see what's growing, and the Wood Pigeon is back in her nest, (she disappeared earlier in the week), there are 3 eggs in the nest, we are lucky with get them every year!

On wondering around the garden, all the time pickle doing cartwheels, she loves being outside, I am across the Magnolia bush has now bloomed, and some other flowers(Sorry gardeners I am completely clueless with gardening) have come out!

On the way home I shall pop into the wine seller and pick up some St George's ale for hubbie,

Hope you all have a good day

Mother's Day weekend!

Good Afternoon All,

Well I had a nice weekend, Saturday we pop into town to get a Mothers Day present for me, a new charm for my bracelet, and then we went to lunch, I prefer that, then going out Mother's Day as it's always so busy.

On the way back hubbie took us for a drive, which is one of the plus points of living the countryside.We find this lovely little road, with a pretty church...

It was a shame it wasn't open...

But we wondered around the back and the views where so lovely...my camera skills don't do them justice.

Opposite the Church was the Old Rectory, I thought the building was so pretty! and Regal looking.

I managed to do some crochet in the afternoon, here is the outcome...

Easter preparation already in progress, pickle wanted to to some crafting on Mother's Day, so we Decopatch these eggs..

Hope you have a nice week!xx

Thanks so much for your comments on my previous post and well wishes..

Thanks again for visiting!

It's cold today!

Good Afternoon,

My word it was cold today and thick frost this morning, I thought I would just share with you these Daffodils from last spring that grow in my garden...

We got a new hamster - he is called Smokie, due to being grey and white, and very fluffy, the cat thinks it's her new toy!¬!

I have lost my tumble dryer :(( and am waiting to order a new one, so our house has turned into a Laundry! not good with the cold weather.

Mittens is getting bigger by the day, and is very cheeky.

I think the green eyes say it all!

Have a good day,

Pretty Things....On a January Day!

Good Afternoon,

Last week I got some flowers to cheer the lounge up after taking down the Christmas decorations, here are the sunny looking flowers - Chrysanths they have a little bit of sparkle to them.

I love purple it's one of my favourite colours, I am looking forward to spring when I can fill the house with Daffodil's and Hyacinth flowers.

Some time back my Mum give me some of my Nan's china which used to display in a lovely wooden cabinet in her lounge, I remember looking at it as a child, it seemed magical the way she displayed all her pretty things in the cabinet and my parents saying - Look but do not touch!

Well now I have been trusted with it, and it's display proudly in my wooden cabinet, and everytime I see it I think of her!

And I now find myself saying to Pickle - Look but don't touch!

As I popped out for lunch today, in the brief moment of Sunshine between the rain and hail showers, I walked though the Churchyard and noticed how pretty it looked, with the holly bushes lining the path, in full bloom.

These are just a few pretty things I fancied sharing with you on this January day.

Thanks for visiting and hope to see you again soon.

Foggy Autumn Morning

As me and little pickle walked to school this morning, earlier than normal due to Choir practice, it was like walking in a dream, which is how I alway feel when it's foggy...

As I have started to take my camera with me everywhere I managed to snap some pictures, (please keep in mind I am new to this and my photo skills are a work in progress)

The spiders webs look magical when it has the dew on them, and they are everywhere...

As I passed a house there was beautiful red bush in the garden

Hope you like them.

Autumn walk home

As I walked to collect my Daugther from her friends yesterday evening the Autumn sunlight bouncing on the towns Common Pond looked so pretty, and as it's so warm still the ducks where very happy bobbing on the water...

When I got home I managed to get some pictures of the garden in the Autumn light..

Berries in one of our pots.

The leaves are turning golden and they looked so rustic.

The sky in this picture was so calming, that in between time of day, where daylight is fading and nighttime is about to descend.

Happy Friday!
