easter weekend

I've just spent the weekend doing nothing at all!!

I don't go home to my parent's farm as often as I used too...but it's so great to go back to get away from it all!

It was a weekend of chocolate, good food, family, farm animals, quiet and fresh air!

80 years

yesterday was my beautiful grandmother's 80th birthday!

she is our family's rock! and she's the best cook!

we are very close to father's parents, as mother's family live on the other side of the world! (canada)

vera was showered with flowers and cakes!

welcome to my garden

I spent the afternoon pottering around my tiny garden.

I grew up in the country, on a farm. Mum has a big veggie garden and orchard. I want that!

I grew cherry tomatoes this year...yummy. I have lettuce and spinach seeds to sow soon. I also have herb seeds, basil and coriander! I bought some herb seedings from the Niche Market yesterday, I want to buy a new terracotta pot for them....i love terracotta pots!

Fingers crossed I can keep my tiny garden safe from the frosts this winter....

rainy day

I'm posting for the second day in a row! Let's see how long I can keep this up for!


I love a good smile!


It's raining...still! I like the rain...at night, when I don't have to go outside. I like the smell of rain. I also like how everything looks clean and fresh after rain.


I'm feeling very sleepy today. I have a virus. Apparently. I woke early yesterday with a really sore neck, that is apparently caused by my glands. I'm only just now starting to feel a sore throat coming on. I can handle colds but not the sore throat part! Here's hoping chewing vitamin C might pay off!


I have put my hand up to join in on a group challenge. It's called HydraWalk. I have to walk 10,000 + steps a day, sleep 8 hours a night, eat 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of veggies a day and drink lots and lots of water!! I think we are ment to do this every day...I sure don't at the moment! This is going to be a huge challenge, but I'm really looking forward to being healthy!!


Tomorrow is Friday!! And then it is the weekend! I'm looking forward to catching up with Miss Eloise for yummy food at a cute cafe! I don't get to do this very often....I feel my friends are all going off, getting married and having babies, which doesn't leave much time for casual catch ups at lovely locations! I often get jealous walking past cafes and coffee shops watching others catching up...silly, I know.

better late than never.....

Finally....I have entered the world of blogging! It was my plan to create my blog on new year's day...such a long time ago. I have been reading other wonderful blogs for quite a while and thanks to the lovely Eloise, started reading many more!

So, here's the start.....of me, pretty things, photos, buttons, daydreams, thoughts, more photos and more me!
