A surprise in the garden

Last weekend P called me out on to our roof terrace to show me these which appeared out of nowhere overnight!

Pineberries

I couldn't resist picking these up yesterday. They really do have the flavour of pineapple and strawberry!

Easter Weekend

This weekend has been a lovely start to our week off and so far I've managed an impressive amount of chocolate for someone who has lost her appetite. My Kawaii Bunny and Rococo egg are still in tact... I prefer to work our way through P's egg before cracking in to my own!

Hope you had a wonderful Easter.

Time & Things

Time has been passing by and it seems that I've had very little of it for read me... or the other blogs I like to visit regularly. Am sure things will be back to a sort of normal soon...

Easter Bunny

I'm looking forward to Easter, I have a week off work which I really need... although I'm not sure how much rest we'll have given that we're planning to move bedrooms and undertake some decorating. More on that at a later date.

I'm also looking forward to my chocolatey Easter treat from P. This little toffee bunny by Vosges would be perfect.

The Open West 2010

P had a painting selected for The Open West 2010, so we had a lovely night and day in Cheltenham for the Private Viewing two weekends ago.

The Ghost of a Flea looked amazing amongst the other works and, in my humble opinion, stood head and shoulders above them too...

Wilma Bench

Another piece of furniture that we have nowhere to put... the beautiful and perfect Wilma Bench by Donna Wilson for SCP.

Valentine

Happy Valentine's day P... I love you.

Cornishware

What a sweet way to enjoy your morning coffee on Valentines day? I love traditional blue and white Cornishware, but this red and white version of the mugs has me wondering if there is room in the cupboard for two more...

Blanket

No power means no heat, so tonight I was glad that I picked up this cosy Melin Tregwynt wool blanket last week, as I snuggled up waiting for the lights and radiators to come back on.

Light

We've been plagued by evening power cuts since early December, including New Year's day. The power went out as I started to cook supper earlier today and as I fumbled about in the dark looking for candles, I decided that it's about time I upped the number of candlesticks which we have in the house.

Top of the list... Hobart by Robert Welch. Very keen on the 2010 colours exclusive to Heal's.

Robin Day for John Lewis

Have you seen the recently released collection of Robin Day chairs for John Lewis? Such a shame that I don't have any room at all for any more chairs... I'd be there like a shot to pick up a white one or two...

A Gift

When I arrived home tonight I was greeted by a wonderful gift, which was very kindly sent to me by Lisa.






















I am now the very happy owner of this beautiful toadstool print fabric, which I can only guess is based on my favourite Jessie Tait design for Midwinter pottery.

Weekend

A relatively restful weekend, mostly spent lunching and chatting. It was lovely to see the snowdrops at Columbia Road.

Elsewhere

I've been elsewhere, in mind and body. Am back from a very long and hard week working away but my mind... it still hasn't really returned yet.
