Glorious Sunshine!

Flowers from Hubbyxxx


What a lovely weekend it was for us here in the West Country, glorious sunshine, cloudless blue skies all day Sunday. It was the kind of day we all get early on in the year after cold weather when you just feel you have to get outside be it the garden or any outdoor space and experience that 1st flush of Spring. I had so many things I wanted to do in the garden that my Husband's eyes glazed over like they do when I get a bee in my bonnet. Of course little children needed to get out too and don't do gardening, at least not to my standards anyway! So a trip to a lovely park was 1st on the agenda of to do's. After lots of sand playing and ice-cream's we headed home via a little garden centre, primroses in hand and attacked my overgrown garden. I am not a natural gardener but I do love being in it and trying to make it pretty, my husband and I have planted every single plant in our garden as when we moved into the house it was just a long narrow strip of mud and sparse grass.

I have lots of ideas for the garden this year , a new patio to start as the existing one is very unlevel and cracked in places, and I would really like a summerhouse to put a the bottom of the garden but that probably will not happen this year as finances are tight! Anyway I hope you all had a lovely weekend whatever you did! xxx

  3. When the sun shines it just makes you feel a bit better about life doesn't it? yes, we too are getting all enthusiastic about the garden again ~ would love a summerhouse too, but they are so expensive (well the one I dream about anyhow!)
