Somewhere over the................

Bit of a test post really, as posting and commenting seem to have been nigh on impossible for quite a while....

Amazing rainbow here earlier -

Magic!!   Have a good weekend!

Hailstones in May?!

Mad weather!  Yesterday it was really sunny one minute, then pouring down. Then suddenly we had quite large hailstones!  Bonkers.

Got some pretty china at the weekend - have been arranging it in my unit in the shop -

Lots of lovely teapots -

This one's so pretty -

And I bought a very chunky felt necklace (from charity shop) that I'll never wear, but I love the colours -

And smell these freesias! -

Have a good week!

All the fun of the fair...............

We had the May Fair in our town for 3 days this week. There are conflicting opinions on it - it takes over the town centre, with several roads closed, and makes it difficult to get about / it's very noisy and probably shops lose some trade - but, it's exciting and colourful! Took these pics early in the day -

Then later, in a charity shop, I found this cute roundabout -

**********************

Hope it rains a lot (but only at night!) this weekend - the garden's so dry -

Some flag iris from the garden -

And some Iris Sibirica from Mr VTT's allotment -

Found a nice little herb container today -

Middle daughter (Ruby's mum) has been making stuff while she's on maternity leave from teaching. I snaffled this felt heart, goes well with the curtains! -

Found this slightly mad baby bee costume today - possibly for Ruby, though she's growing fast! - 

**************************

Off to see The Martin Harley Band tonight (With Balalaika, Weissenborn, electric lap steel guitar, double bass and three part harmonies this multi-instrumental band set themselves apart from the norm. Performances at Glastonbury’s Acoustic and Avalon stages have cemented their popularity as part of the UK’s acoustic scene, and the home grown, hard-touring approach they’ve employed over the last eight years has built them a strong fan base worldwide. Their ‘British Americana’ sound is influenced by Delta Blues and Gypsy swing and has produced a road-worn style of song-writing that feels as comfortable as an old pair of shoes you just can’t throw away)

Enjoy your weekend!

Green stuff and White Stuff.....

Bit more colour in the garden now -

*********************

Got a lovely old Lloyd Loom chair today -

and a cushion that seems to belong to it! -

Found a lovely jug too - Morrocan I think, it has the metal bands that Moroccan earthenware often has -

And I found myself in White Stuff (usually try and avoid even going in, as I love their stuff but can't afford it really!) - and bought a top - 

Actually, looks better with this cardigan -

Have a good week!
