Yes.....that would be me.
No such strolling today though. It is bitterly cold out there and blowing a gale. A perfect chance to blog.
More birthdays to celebrate.
It was Leesa's birthday last Tuesday.
She turned #{%€£.
I think she'll probably keep making it up from now on!
Bill turned 66 yesterday and Joanne joined us for lunch.
Pumpkin soup, bruschetta and carrot cake.
Remi turned one ....so the girls spent the weekend with Helen's family.
She is a little sweetheart.
And then it was off mushrooming.....
There's something so exciting about rugging up on a cold day and heading off in search of those little white fungi circles with a knife and a bucket.
That's dinner taken care of.
Joanne and I spent ages looking at everything in the patchwork shop.
I came home with this cute little charm pack to sew something for Olive.
And a bit of Kaffe to fussy cut may be ....or just because......

Jo didn't come out empty handed either *roll eyes*.
She has a beautiful new grandchild to sew for. Vincent.
He is adorable. Congratulations Will and Jacq.
Around the garden path.
There are two pallet beds of liliums now.
It's so much easier to plant them this way. Place them on the dirt and then shovel the soil over the top.
I expect the bigger bulbs to bloom in summer, but the smaller ones may take a few years.
In my little farmshop.....still picking an odd bloom. Amazing really.
We have sold three of Sam's bird houses. He has had to build up his stocks.

I can't imagine that anything is still upright out there today, but I still noticed a customer at one stage!
Sam and Amy
Our littlest babes.
Books from the library just in time for a cold, wet weekend.
This is me too......
I'm really looking forward to getting back out there next week.
It will probably involve some flaneur-ing as well I expect.
Come to think of it, there's a fair bit of that that goes on here every day with me!
Have a great week everyone.
