Late arrivals {024/365}

A late arrival in our garden this spring.  Most of the daffs have been out for over month here, but this one has only just appeared in one of our tubs in the garden this week.

Anyone for tea? {023/365}

It feels like I have away for age, as I have been so busy with work. Tonight is the first time I sat down in over week to have some me time and catch up with my blog.

I was pottering around the house, looking for inspiration and I noticed that my hubby had laid out his tea-tray for the morning.   He like a pot of tea first thing in the morning, which he brings back to bed with him.

The cup and the milk jug were a little present from me to match the Price & Kensington teapot we were given as a wedding present.

Eat more fruit {022/365}

I need to eat more fruit, I just love the colour of these plums.

Supermoon

To night the moon was the closest it has been to the Earth in two decades, making it appear brighter and wider.  A phenomenon called ‘lunar perigree’ or ‘supermoon’.

I only had my little Nikon digital camera and a tripod and this was the best I was able to do through the trees in our back garden.

Spring blossoms {021/365}

I have had so little opportunity to get outside and enjoy the arrival of spring this week, that when I woke to the glorious sunshine this morning I knew that I had to grab my chance and my camera. 

These delicate pink and white spring blossoms have been out for almost a week, with some of the blossom already falling onto the pavements.

A slice of blue {020/365}

A surprising slice of blue in one of our patio tubs, these bluebells have appeared from nowhere.

Amaryllis revival {019/365}

After my failure with my orchids which haven’t flowered in the last two years,  I have been really surprised by my Amaryllis which has beautifully bloomed again.

Catch-up

After being unwell over the last week, it feels like I have been away for an absolute age.  I haven’t been outside for nearly a week, so I have no chance of taking any pictures.

Today is my first chance to catch up and share some of my pictures from last Saturdays trip to Wiltshire.  We enjoyed a sumptuous meal at the Ship Inn in a picturesque village of Burcombe.

I had deep-fried baby goats cheese with a tomato and chilli chutney, followed by homemade fish cakes, herbed fries, mixed leaves and house tartare, beautifully present on black or slate plates.

In an effort to walk off our indulgent lunch we had a lovely wonder this beautiful old romanesque church.

The church was as beautiful inside as it was outside, and it was just as cold (if not colder).

Romanesque {018/365}

We stumbled upon this beautiful Romanesque style church, while visiting a friend in Wiltshire.

Daffodil {017/365}

Spring is definitely on its way. The banks around the park are full of beautiful daffodils.
