HURRY ALONG SPRING!

Good afternoon, I have had the day off work to take my daughter to hospital to have her operation that she has been waiting for since October but it was cancelled!! So I have come into blogland to find comfort. I was sitting with the laptop looking out of the window and admiring my Viburnam with its pretty pink flowers and lovely scent, the snow has almost gone and the sun is shining,Spring is not far away!!

Photo doesn't do it justice!!!

A HINT OF SPRING IN JANUARY!!

Good evening,just got in from work and hurried to post a picture of a GORGEOUS firescreen that I got for £5 from the flea market.It has the base of one leg missing but the wool embroidery is beautiful and the gate looked to me like it was painted(it isn't!)Here's the picture for your perusal...........

WHILST THERE'S STILL TIME TO SPEAK OF BRUSSELS!!

Good afternoon all,it's my Saturday off work and I've had a lovely lazy day.Spent the morning in bed finishing my book supplied with tea by my lovely hubby.Then the afternoon floating around blogland looking at photos new and old.Just one final thought regarding Christmas brussels sprouts,is it just me that believes that horses sweat, men perspire and ladies glow and most certainly do not let their wind out when in the company of others,especially ones spouse? It is an odd subject I do agree but occasionally one needs to know on certain subjects, purely out of idle curiosity and Saturday afternoon post Christmas boredom!!

Thought you may also like a peek into my china cupboard in the kitchen!
