Hello there .. hope all is well with you.
Spring is into its stride now .. pushing toward summer
.. and we've had some nice sunshiny days.
The strong bright red tulips have turned into blousey matrons ..
fading their way away into summer ...
the garden has come alive and is rioting away ..

the garden has come alive and is rioting away ..
fresh and green ..
with that wonderful smell .. umm...

Its so nice to see a bit of colour and watch the busy bees.
Its the first time I've planted Wallflowers .. are they perennial? .. do I just leave them where they are?
They have done very well ..
and were/are such a nice burst of colour.

Cheered a Girl up no end...!
Hubby P .. well he's up to his usual tricks ..
buying big heavy stuff ..
buying big heavy stuff ..
Now he's crawling around with a bad back.
Do you like his Victorian barrow?
It was used in the cattle holding pens near the docks in Holyhead.
The cattle were held/housed there whilst waiting to be loaded onto ships for Ireland .. the barrow was used to cart straw and feed for the animals.
But of course its big bulky .. and heavy to lift in and out of the van.
Me .. well .. I've been listing a few bits on eBay.
Hubby P was laughing at me because when I get a sale or two I say ' well .. that will pay the Council Tax .. or Tesco .. or BT .. or whatever!
Is a woman thing do you think .. to earmark certain funds for certain bills?
To me money is just a way to move forward .. an exchange for goods .. I don't really get a lot out of hoarding the stuff .. money for the sake of money.
And sorting buttons ... do you like my high tech button sorting equipment..!
A Girl can never have enough buttons ..
this lot will keep my sewing girls happy for a while.
Now this little Girl showed up in a dusty old box in the back of Hubby P's van ...
goodness knows where from.
goodness knows where from.
She has lost her frame and any any indication of who she might be along the way
... poor little orphan!
These little lost souls rarely find new homes ..
so they come to live with us..
so they come to live with us..
I wonder who she is ...
what's her story..?
Clearly she was much loved .. someone has lovingly painted her likeness ...
and she looks happy.
I call her Iris ... I think its the blue in her dress ..
do you think she looks like an Iris.?
do you think she looks like an Iris.?
Anyway enough of me ..I'm off to fill hotwaterbottles and tend to Hubby P..!
Bye for now x
