Made some chewy crunchy gummy crispie cake...mmmm



Had to post this too, what an excellent photo.  Tulips growing in Holland...beautiful.


Had a tidy up in the bedroom yesterday morning - here's my dresser..
(there's me in the mirror in my dressing gown)


my bowl of hair bits


my favourite perfume - Angel by Thierry Mugler


and the wonder that is Boots Botanics Organic Rosewater Tonic.....ooooo I love it! 


Look what I noticed on my way back from bellringing this morning!  Crocuses!  Spring has sprung!  It's a lovely sunny day today, cold wind still though.

 
Today I'm wearing purple cotton/linen skirt from Evans, ancient white t-shirt (not seen), purple stripey top from Yours, blue & purple scarf, purple belt (probably an original 70s item) with multi-coloured hair band and purple daisy earrings.

Horrible weather today, wet, grey & dismal.  Anyhoo, continuing with photo theme, today I'm wearing East Coast jeans from Evans, purple ¾-length sleeve top by Joe Brown and aqua cardi by Per Una. Plus ancient Laura Ashley scarf (I do like a cosy nape of neck, it’s my age), and my favourite starry earrings, multi-coloured bandana on my head (out of shot as I'm remaining anonymous!) with spotty sox and my usual pink indoor Birkies.


I do like the odd buttons on my cardi.
Here's my favourite starry earrings and multi-coloured bandana.

There's a definite spring-like feel to the last couple of days (hoorah).  Just taken a quick tour of the estate and there's lots of green shoots springing up.  And some lovely white crocuses that I'd forgotten I'd planted!














I bought some primroses in the week, must get on and plant them out.

Talking of lovely flowers, here's the gorgeous photo of the day from one of my favourite websites


Am I allowed to republish their photos, I wonder? 




Thought I’d do a blog (having been inspired by Tavi!)


So today I’m dressed sporty casual, in grey jogs, with purple ¾-length sleeve top by Joe Brown, purple zipped hoody by Simply Be and multi-coloured scarf by Anokhi.


  With flowery ponytail band and home-made earrings.




Oh, plus comfy sox by Accessorize and my pink Birkies. I didn’t manage to take a photo of those ‘cos I had to dash downstairs to do the bin bags before Heir Hunters started at 0915!!  ;-)
