We have been treated the last few days to some beautiful sunshine.
We went for a walk one evening to have supper with some friends in BARE LEGS.
It was nice being able to walk home later in the evening and still not be too cold. The chicks are living in the kitchen and have the lamp on all the time, so we were greeted by this nice warm, glow-y view on our return.
One evening we went for a drink in town and sat OUTSIDE, without getting pneumonia.
Plants and shrubs are starting to really get growing and one of my absolute favourites is currently in it's element. It is called Forsythia and I love its huge clouds of bright golden yellow flowers.
There is something very satisfying about its smooth brown branches covered in clusters of four petalled flowers and the simplicity of the two colours together without any leaves getting in the way.
I feel the same way about Magnolia trees, which are also just opening at the moment and have the same effect - pale grey-green branches covered in showers of white and pale pink flowers like lightbulbs. From a distance they look like the blossom trees do - great fluffy clouds of flowers looking for all as if passing clouds have been snagged on the branches.
I can now also reveal to you the secret project that was keeping me busy a few weeks ago!
We went to a wedding yesterday. It was the most perfect day with glorious sunshine and clear blue skies, the perfect wedding day!
Despite sleeping through the alarm and only waking up 45 minutes before we had to leave, we made it on time, complete with clothes on, hat and camera.
It was a lovely day all in all, with all the things a wedding should have and a very happy couple!
I made the bride's headpiece and veil and am now open to orders, here is just a taster, better photos soon!
