Returning

I have some very exciting news to share......

We are going to become great- grandparents to a precious little girl in September.

After years of patiently waiting for this blessing, we couldn't be more excited !

A season of new birth and growth, what could be a more fitting beginning.

 

 

 

Keeping The Pot Warm

A new tea cozy pattern.

Making me smile.

Friendships

I've been spending time catching up on long-overdue visits with friends.

You know how it is, we all seem to get caught up in the everyday comings and goings of life, and before you realize it,  half the year has passed.

There have been wedding showers, and baby showers, school graduations and birthday celebrations, lots of reasons for get-togethers and endless hours of tea-drinking and giggling.

 

My dearest friend, also from the same home-county in England as myself, thoughtfully prepared a little brunch treat . Homemade  Cornish Pasties, with lots of HP sauce and pickled onions on the side, absolutely delicious.

Followed by left-over Christmas plum pudding slathered in custard, and endless pots of tea.

What a lovely day !

 

Plans Gone Awry

My plans were to start a little outdoor spring cleaning this weekend, but you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men.........

The weather has turned wet and cold, and despite the flowers enthusiastically blooming their little hearts out, there are whispers of snow once again heading our way.

Most of the cleaning will have to take place on the inside, accompanied by a cozy fire, and pots of tea galore.

 

 

 

Weather Watch

We're having a glorious spring day today, sunshine a'plenty, just perfect for those tree-climbing kitties.
Tonight however, will be a whole different story,  horrendous winds and freezing weather on the way, just when you think it's safe to come out of the box......
