A good tidy up!!!

It has certainly been a busy week, but with this lovely weather who wants to be inside packing so I am afraid not a lot has been done, but doesn’t the sun make everything feel so much better.

Had this lovely postcard in the post and made me think of a party that we are planning this August so with this in mind I thought I would buy some of these to hang in the garden

I have great plans for a party in my new garden to celebrate a very special anniversary that we are celebrating this year!

It has been a real busy week, Wednesday saw us hiring a van now I know you are not going to believe this but we still had a crate of furniture left in store from when we moved from France, it wasn’t full of French furniture unfortunately – but would you believe it most of it was full of my son’s University furniture and books and LPs as well as a rather smart sofa from our French house so as you can imagine this was soon snapped up by one of our sons and the rest either went to our tip or back to its rightful owner! But amongst everything I found this, it was a lovely quilt which was made by my friend Marion for the birth of my third son Alex for his pram, I think the pattern is called the friendship star, so I was so pleased to find it again, and I will find a home for it in our new home

I have also been busy washing quilts blankets and lot of baskets that I seem to have all over the house, and with this weather all has been able to dry in the garden

It was lovely to walk around the garden and see so many plants growing, it was also a little sad as I won’t see most of them flower, the apple blossom is trying so hard to come out and maybe I will see it before we move.

I have also been busy with the paint brush!

But today was a day off and we packed a picnic and headed to the coast,

it was so warm hard to believe that by Wednesday it is going to be cold and wet again! Maybe I will get some packing done I am reluctant to pack everything away as although I am looking forward to our move I will miss the house and it seems so final when the walls are bare all the books packed and it turns into just a house and not a home.

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend, and I promise I will try and get to visit you all, sorry I have been a little lapse lately!
