To have and to hold ...


Look what arrived in the post today ...



a wedding invitation!




So, time to start the diet (again)!


After all the gardening activity this week, I
now have space to plant some sweet peas.



Take Care

  1. A wedding invitation? How lovely!!! I'd love to get one of those through the post. I haven't had a wedding to go to for a few years - and I'd love the excuse to get a new outfit and hat! Come on, single friends!!!
    I love sweet peas! Please show some pics, when they've grown! :-)

    1. We were so excited - we haven't been to a wedding with the children before. Sweet peas are lovely aren't they - I will show some pics if they grow (gardening doesn't come naturally!

    1. Do you think they look ready to plant in the garden yet - I find gardening very stressful!!
      Ollie is going for a trim tomorrow so I will post some before and after pics! I will pop back to your blog to have a look at Casper. I look forward to keeping in touch xx

    1. It really isn't easy - I have a very sweet tooth. I'm hoping that the wedding (and buying a new outfit)will be an incentive. x

  4. Hello Lorraine

    Thank you for your lovely message, and you have just reminded me I forgot to order sweet peas I normally put them all along the picket fences in my garden and the smell is so lovely. Love your blog!
    Take care

  5. Hello Denise. They are a perfect garden flower aren't they - looking pretty and with a wonderful smell too. Would love to know when is the right time to plant them in the garden though! Lorraine xx

  6. A wedding! A great excuse to go shopping for a new outfit :) I just saw you live near Cambridge. I went there many a time as a student to visit friends and loved the place. Such a relaxed boho feel to the place. And thank you - you are too kind. I have just acquired some more old baking trays, so we're good at the moment. It's nice to know though :)) xxx

    1. Cambridge is a great place - so much to see and do. Such a mix of tourists, students and residents too. xx

  7. I'm going to buy sweetpeas (not talented enough to grow from seed) - last year I didn't get one flower -very disappointed so I need to do some internet research to find out what went wrong. I do so love sweet peas!

    1. I love them too. When we moved here there were some lovely perennial sweet peas growing in the garden. They lasted for 3 years without much care or attention - my favourite sort of plant! Unfortunately, following some careless digging, they disappeared last year! I hoou are able to find out what happened to your flowers - that sounds quite unusual xx
