Spring is here..

It's the Spring Equinox today, which means Spring has finally arrived and the daylight will get a little longer each evening until Midsummer, it's time to sow your seeds in the garden as well as in your life... Beltane is not too long now and Midsummers only around the corner. I thank the Lady for the blessings upon the land, the newborn animals and the nesting off the birds. The buds have arrived and will open in a matter of weeks. Have a wonderful weekend and may the sun shine on you all... Blessings for the Spring..

Got another job interview

Wish me luck! I'm not going to jinx it and tell you the ins and outs, lets see what happens first and then we'll go from there.....

The Luck Of The Irish~

Wishing all those that celebrate, a happy St. Patricks Day...

Oh My!...

Not far from i live, is a City farm and they have recently reopened for the season. There were many animals, but i managed to take a few pictures on my phone, here's the horse and as soon as i can, there's a lamb coming ....

As promised the lamb has arrived....

Happy Mothers Day

Wishing you all a beautiful Mothering sunday.. The sun is out here, the sky is blue and the birds are singing, perfect!

A girl can dream....

(Pictures from Google)

Oh i wish!

Bloggers got a cob on!

Iv been trying to upload some photos here for days now but blogger seems to be taking forever to load them and in the end iv given up. The weathers been dry here and so iv managed to get into the garden and sow some seeds. So far iv done quite a few, don't worry they are nice and safe from the frosts within the greenhouse. I will keep trying to put up the pictures within the next couple of days. Enjoy the sunshine if your lucky enougth to have it..

A welcome visitor

Look what i saw at the bottom of my garden yesterday, a mouse. This picture is actually from Google and is in fact a Dormouse, but nonetheless, i have a different species of wildlife in my garden that i did not know was there. I'm so glad that the wildlife area is working out so well...

Iv a massive bruise on my forehead, iv been putting up a blind in my bedroom and being the numpty that i am i smashed my head straight into the wooden curtain pole and boy did i see stars!....

The weather is amazing here in Gloucestershire, a little cold and we are still getting the frosts at night, but the sun is out and that's good enougth for me. Have a wonderful day, i hope the sun is shining upon you...

Springs on her way..

Where to start? It might be a while before i can put up some pictures, due to the fact that i now have a new laptop and no photos in my files!... Now whats been happening in my world i hear you say?....

Iv been getting the garden ready for the new planting season. I managed to buy a mini greenhouse, rather than cluttering up all my window sills within the house, and its great, i highly recommend you to get one if space is limited within the garden, and a bargain at £12.00 from Wilkinson's!

Iv decided to grow some potatoes and some french beans this year as well as my usual bounty of Tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, lettuces, spring onions, and blueberries. I'm also tempted to go and get a raspberry bush and a hazelnut.

Home life is good, I'm feeling really good at the moment. The last year brought some challenges and i shall discuss these at another date, and boy is there something to say... I'm in the process of looking for part time work and that in itself is a challenge. For every 10 CV's i send out i will get about 2 call backs, and not even a note to say thanks but no thanks, that can be disheartening, but you just keep going...

So, until next time, this is your first installment, hopefully i shall have some pictures to post next time, in the meantime have a fantastic day!...

The witch is back!!!

Just a quick note to say that im back!!!! When i have more time to post i will, there is sooooo much to say.. Have a nice day..

The trolls have gotten in..

At the moment my PC has died on me, so for now i will only be able to get online when i visit my sister...

Midsummer and the Terminator

Sage and myself went to the cinema yesterday to see the new Terminator film, I'm not going to go into details but we both enjoyed the film. On the way home, we went past the Park to see that the circus had come to town.

The Tall Ships were at Gloucester Docks a few weeks ago but as we cut through to get to the cinema i noticed a few were still here. I also took a nosy at the new Gloucester Quays as it was my first time here since it opened. I did take some more pictures but for some reason i cant find them in my file!!

The garden had a makeover this morning and iv moved a lot of the potted plants around, i like it!

And finally wishing you all a wonderful Summer Solstice, a little belated, but Midsummer is here, have fun and keep safe..

Strawberries and Peas.. anyone?...

Another harvest from the garden, YUM YUM!!

Its the simple pleasures in life that make one smile, especially if you have done your back in, again!!!

The weather have been amazing, just as summer should be and with Midsummer's day only a few days away, Mother Nature has been kind to us...

Babies!!

Yay, baby Blackbirds.. It seems one has fledged onto the near by branch and has stayed there for a couple of days. Mum and dad have been brilliant parents, i watched as they built the nest in the Elder at the bottom of the garden and iv enjoyed watching the brooding and the feeding, what an honor i have been given this Spring, thank you Gaia.

Nothing to say

Peekaboo, i can see you!

Home grown and B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L

In between the rain

May so far has been more like March and April together. The winds have been gale like and iv even seen large hailstones hitting the earth! In between the rain i have managed to capture some flowers there will be more to come..

My next door neighbour has a wonderful garden and we are often swapping plants, seeds and advice. Here, i was kindly given a beautiful Ladies bonnet flower, which i have had my eye on for a number of years and keep praying that the seeds would somehow find their way into my garden, but sadly not as yet, and Carolle was so kind in letting me have this one, i will save the seeds and scatter for next year. Yay!!

Mmmmm, French Lavender, i do have some Lavender growing from seed that i planted in March, but i really wanted some of this French Lavender, so pretty..

I love Daisy flowers, they always remind me of a Country cottage and so i have made sure i have planted plenty.

Not sure of the name of this amazing little blue flower, but i do think its a wild flower, kindly given to me again by Carolle, a few years ago and used to be at the bottom wild part of the garden and this spring i moved to the top of the garden and its doing really well..

The garden seems to be doing well so far, the runner beans are starting to flower and i even have a resident blackbird building her nest in the Elder at the bottom of the garden, how blessed am i?.. The Sunflowers that i grew from the bird seed are also doing well, that great in fact iv had to put them into the garden and i pray each night it stays mild. The Blueberry bush is providing some flowers and the Strawberries are going made, there will be photos of these soon.. In the meantime enjoy you Sunday, wherever you are..

Guilty Cat and a Chef

Mmmm, whats this hanging from my mouth?

What Bird?????? I have not seen any bird, honest! (LOL, its only a feather from a duster)....

Cooked by Sage himself and it was beautiful

Vegetarian Cottage Pie

Around the Garden, Part 2...

For me, along with Daffodiles, Primroses herald the start of Spring and remind of woodlands

I divided my Strawberry plant this year and got three more, they have rewarded me with plenty of flowers

My runnerbeans are doing really well so far, at night i do fleece them..

Where there are mushrooms, there be fairies...

Beltane Blessings and around the Garden Part 1..

Some seedlings, here there are Sunflowers, Tomato and Gourds, there are many many trays like this around the garden in the day but then in the evening they take over the kitchen and bathroom!

My baby Passion flower with some Sweet peas

Iv forgotten the name of this climber but eventually it will bloom with wonderful white flowers, i also forgot to mention that the Passion flower is also white..

Blueberry bush, with some flowers already..

Bluebells that have been blessed to appear into my garden for many years now, there are so many i can pick some for the house and have their scent everywhere..

There are some more pictures to come... Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your May bank holiday!...
