Hello, March - glad to see you!

Hurrah - it's March. Farewell to February - shortest month, but seemed to go on forever!

Found a couple of nice items this week - a lovely old suitcase -


 
and some more beautiful cloths -
 
 
And I love this funky side table -
 


 
 
Lovely and sunny yesterday and so pottered in the garden. Brought a few hellebores in -
 
 
The little tete a tete daffodils are still doing well on the kitchen windowsill -
 
 
And I pinched these few blossomy twigs from an overgrown edge of the local park, walking home this week -
 
 
We had our two grand-daughters, Tilly and Ruby today - a lovely - if exhausting - day!  Well, Tilly found it exhausting! -
 
 
Didn't take a pic of Ruby today, but this is her - drumming away! - at their allotment last weekend -
 
 
Ah, that glass of wine and bowl of olives seems to be calling to me......
 
 
Have a great weekend!  (We're off to see Babette's Feast tomorrow morning and Beasts of The Southern Wild tomorrow night!  (see previous post) )

  4. February just went on forever! I think it was basically an extension of January. Have a great weekend

  6. Yesterday gave us a hint of what is to come but today it's back to cold, grey, dreary weather. I was going to garden but think I'll stay in the warm instead! I love Spring flowers best of all and it's lovely when the blossom is 'bursting'. What beautiful grandaughters you have, I love Ruby's hat. Thankyou for your kind comment on my last post!

  7. It is so good to see March, I always find January and February difficult to get through! Your suitcase is so pretty inside, and the table is most unusual. I love the hellebores and the blossom.
    Many thanks for your kind comments. I think the tea room woukd be right up your street. You must spend a lot of time ironing and washing all those pretty linens? Love Linda x

  8. Oh isn't March a relief (even with today's rain)?! What did you think of Beasts of the Southern Wild? I'm curious to know what to expect.

    1. Unusually, for me, I knew nothing about the film before I went. I think that was quite a disadvantage as its a strange film. I won't say too much - go and see it! Some niggles, but overall interesting and different - and thought-provoking. X
