Say cheese.......




 Flynn was helping (?) his Mummy bake an orange cake today. She asked him to say cheese..... bless him!





There's something so Springy about  jonquils .....and the smell is quite unique. They looked so gorgeous out there today.

 The yellow and orange combination couldn't be more perfect and fresh.


Do you think it's too late to lift and relocate these?
I thought about it for 2 seconds today and decided to do it anyway!
A quick count of bulbs as I was separating them produced another 130!!!
Bill dug another round patch near the frog pond and in they went just as roughly as last time. They must be the toughest of all plants ever.
I have been thrilled with how the others  have grown and flowered and I expect this lot will do the same.
That's 7 new jonquil/daffodil beds around the dam now......and they look wonderful.


It's definitely too late to move this lot but I will remember them for next year.
It's good to see so many buds ready to burst, but I don't think there will be 130 blooms.  However, I anticipate that there will  probably be that many bulbs in this clump too.


I must have had yellow wafting through my brain today.
With a choice of any possible colour available, I chose yellow to start my crochet lessons.
Once again, I'll be flying by the seat of my pants because I haven't got a clue how to do it.
I'll just google it!




Abraham Darby, you really are exquisite. And how can you possibly still be looking so gorgeous when it's zero degrees?
No wonder the perfume is so delicious - look at all those petals.


Sometimes I don't bother with borders on my quilts.
Sometimes they look better without them.
They certainly are a great way to make a smallish quilt much larger though. 
It takes ages to measure, cut, sew, press and then repeat for the other side!
 But I think Belle needed a border.
Very simple quilting required.
Bill thinks we should use it as a tablecloth!
It even looks a bit like a rug!



This is Flynn's Go away Dad, I'm watching Peppa pig look!!
