Stunning!

Thats the only way i can describe the weather to day... I woke to nothing but clear blue skies and decided it was time to go for a walk with my favorite babe...






And so we set off...



It may only be the start of Spring but there is colour everywhere.. I love this bush, not sure what it is...



Standing underneath this tree, which is laden with pollen the sound of the buzzing can be heard quite clearly, there was many a bee and wasp feasting after a long harsh winter..




Buds are starting to appear everywhere...






Still not a cloud in the sky, and i pointed the camera straight at the sun..




Patch was leading the way and he was loving it...




He meets a new friend and is straight away onto the car, he loves these things, me thinks hes trying to hitch a ride...




A few lone Daffs..






The Blackthorn has blossmed!...




Patch loves collecting sticks, he will chew them and chase them, carry them and then lose them..




Got the whole place to ourselves...




And then its home to do the garden, and thats another story...

Wishing you all a beautiful Spring Equinox....

Chocolate...

Going to be making my own very soon...




Dark Chocolate with Rose petals.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..





Our own Easter eggs, and a friend has a birthday in June so its a Homemade Marmite chocolate bar in the making for her...

The birds have landed..

I finally managed to find some lovely birds for my Easter tree, how cute are these and so life like, and they only cost pennies from the Past Times shop..

Happy Sunday Musings..

Wow, we have had some lovely spring like weather, but sadly as soon as it comes it is taken away.. Anyhow, it inspired me to go out and collect some branches for my Easter Tree, i know, a little early, but hey ho..

Here's before



And here's after i added some colourful eggs, just need some birds to go on there and ill be a happy bunny, talking of bunnies, how cute are these felt egg cosies?...







Look what i saw yesterday, the first one of the year, scared me as i went past i thought it was a big spider out of the corner of my eye!




Its a little dark and wet out there today and iv got to venture into the unknown in a while, but i will leave you with a cosy candle as the evenings are getting lighter it will only be a matter of time before this becomes a distant memory, until late Autumn that is..

A busy weekend..

Its all about Patch...






Patch helped with the flat packs, and the ironing...

200th Post...

When i began this blog it was to document my journey to getting out of the city and to find somewhere more countryside and cottagy, well, I'm still on that journey and I'm at the moment saving so that i can make that step to moving out of where i am and to somewhere less busy and more pretty, its still gonna take a while, but at least my journey has taken a another route to getting to that final destination..


Wow! This is my 200th post, and i was hoping for something spectacular to post about, but that could have been a long wait, so in the meantime, look at the goodies that the magazines have in store for us, it seems the shabby vintage cottage look is well in...Sorry the pictures are a little blurry..








And of course a recent picture of my baby Patch...

Just in time..

This was a bargain from Primark, at only £4 i had to buy this Cath Kidson look a likie, as i don't own any makeup its got my wool in it for now..




I couldn't resist this from work, here's a little peek inside..









And finally some pink polkadot gloves for the garden, a girls got to look good out there as well.....

Then there was life...

The Purple sprouting that i sowed on the 2nd have sprouted this morning as well as the daffodils that greeted me on this grey wet morning..



Thursday was beautiful and a taste of whats to come, but this morning the skies were full, but at least the flowers in the house were warm and happy..





Am so looking forward to seeing the garden looking like this again..

Time for a change..

Do you like the new look?, yep, me too..

Spring awakes...

I'm getting all excited now the sun is coming out more often and the birds are singing.. At work we are selling flower and vegetable seeds 2 for a pound and iv gone a little crazy, well at that price you cant blame me...




Iv decided this year to do a lot of cut flowers. The supermarkets never have enougth variety for my liking and at least i will know where my Flowers have travelled from..






The seed potatoes came from Wilkinson's and they only cost 99p for 5 seeds, i brought them last year and they are lovely and you get a great yield..

And of course i couldn't not leave without adding a recent picture of Patch.. Hes a right firecracker and our house can certainly at times be a war zone.. He's allowed to go for his first walk in a few days so pop over to his own blog to see his antics in more detail..

Love is.....

To all you lovers out there, have a wonderful day.

My tooth is still hurting me and iv been on antibiotics all week, so I'm guessing I'm going to be losing two of my molars in the week! Eeeekkkk......

Yesterday was a beautiful taster of what Spring has in mind, the sun shone, the birds sung, and the spring flowers started to unfold, today however, the rain is coming down hard and the wind is strong!

Sweetness..

Here's a recent picture of Halle, she 7 months old now, not long til she has her first birthday, time really does go fast...

Iv had a terrible few days, somethings wrong with my tooth/gum, the pain is unbelievable. but i have a dentist appointment tomorrow so I'm hoping all will be well... The weathers been crap all rain and gale force winds, i really want Spring to be here so i can get out into the garden and have a tidy up..

Patch is doing well, growing bigger each day and a complete handful, hes going for his 2Nd lot of injections this week so another couple of weeks of being indoors and we can finally wear him out with some gentle walks.. Here's a recent picture of him, asleep in the arms of my friends sons arms...Ahhhhhhh, you say, what a Minx is what im saying.. LOL...

Im still here....

Its been a while, that's due to the pup keeping me well busy, i have however done a new blog especially about Patch, iv got sooooo many pictures of him that i thought i would put them all there rather than take this blog over with his antics!, feel free to pop over and take a look... If your having trouble with the link below, the blogs in my links on the right hand side

Wow, that's a strong wind out there, i thought it was going to sweep me off my bike yesterday and take me to some unknown places, LOL... Lucky for me i managed to nip into the garden before it came and gave it a tidy up and made sure it was safe for Patch to go out into..Taking about the garden, i brought a lorry load of seeds the other day, mainly flower seeds, iv decided to do a lot of cut flowers this year, save on money from buying them from the local supermarket.. Iv also got my potato seeds and this year I'm going to give purple sprouting a go..

I do hope those of you that celebrate Imbolc the other day had a wonderful time, blessings to you all....Have a wonderful weekend and take care int hose winds, i dont want to see any off you floating above my neighbourhood!...

First night..

Just the one picture, as iv only had about two hours sleep, as you can see Patch, is now sleeping well...LOL..
