just a quickie

Cherry Blossom

I am dead beat, I've been acting like a 1950's housewife all day! Baking, sewing, cleaning, washing, ironing.....no wonder they had little waists-no time to eat!

I just wanted you to know I had not forgotten you all and I will get back into reading your blogs as soon as possible.

a perennial Candytuft (Iberis)
We have friends round tomorrow (hence the baking and cleaning) and then on Sunday we plan to pop over to Diane's neck of the woods and visit Wentworth Castle Gardens, might see you there Diane!
Cherry  blossom (and Lucy)
I thought I would show you some photographs of some of the flowers in the garden.
Yellow tulips that come up every year
Notice you don't see much garden. Just close ups of the plants......

.......That is because it is in a right mess
Right must hang up my pinny and go to bed, I have to ice the cakes first thing in the morning!

    I love your reference to 1950's housewives, Lyn!! I sometimes say that when I do heavy cleaning (not that often!!). Such beautiful flowers - what are the white blossoms under the orange tulip?
    Enjoy your company!

    Me too! I cleaned and polished, washed and ironed and baked and shopped ... but that means I can please myself for the rest of the weekend!
    Have a lovely Easter!

    Have a lovely weekend Lyn. I only show the acceptable parts of my garden. The back of my garden is a right old mess! x

    Lovely flowers, forget the weeds ... or as I prefer to think of them, wild flowers!
    Cleaning, polishing, all the housewifely tasks are actually fashionable again and we're no longer thought of as not having a brain cell if we actually spend time making our homes nice. And why not make the place you live in as nice as it can be? Me? I'm now off out to the summerhouse with coffee and the papers ... ah, what could be nicer than one's own garden in spring, and having done the supermarket shop, having cleaned and tidied and you know there is nothing whatsoever than needs to be done ... well, not until Someone shouts, "What's for lunch?"

    I've invited my mum and sister to lunch on Monday, partly as it will be nice to see them and partly to give me a kick up the bottom and get this place tidy!
    Have a lovely Easter.

    Lovely photos. I can't say my garden beds look neat,either, but I enjoy all of the blossoms out now, anyway. :) Spring is wonderful!

    Lovely photos - and I am sure you feel very virtuous after all the housewifery!

    I haven't been by for a while, due to holiday stuff. Just wanted to add my love to all the rest you've received. It sounds like you have had a very virtuous time on the domestic front! Hugs xxxx
