Sunday flowers

I spotted a farm shop this morning with this bunch of Dahlias outside and screeched to a halt to buy them. They are my favourites. (The other flowers Henrik bought me from the supermarket yesterday) We are having a relaxing afternoon at home, me in one room watching Mad Men and Henrik in the other watching Lost.

All in a days worth

Got this lovely little book in the mail today. Dawn draws her day, the products she uses and everything she eats. Its beautifully done.

Grown by me

Strawberries from my little plant, Dahlias I grew from bulbs and cress I grew from
a packet of seeds (not exactly rocket science, I know) but I feel very proud!

Back at work

My seven week summer holiday ended today. Back to work.
It was a shock to the system! Getting our classroom ready for the children, who
return to school on Monday, I shall miss being a lady of leisure!

String Shelving

It sat on the spare bed for over a year, now its up on the wall and I love it!

Cushions

Finally got round to having some cushion covers made with my Ahlens
material. We now have too many to choose from!

Our hood

Even though we moved here over two months ago , Henrik and I have not really explored our new neighbourhood until now. It really does not feel like we live in London when you wander around, so green and peaceful, yet 15 minutes in the car and we are in Central London.... Best of both worlds!
p.s I made Henrik stand in the phone box, he REALLY did not want to! Sorry Henrik!

Old tin bath

Found this tin bath at a car boot sale this morning for £1.
Filled it with lots of herbs and it looks lovely sat outside our front door.

Thrifted

Found a Stavangerflint plate,Figgjo Flint pots and some other cute bits and pieces at Bygone times this week. Im thinking of setting up a little online shop with some of this stuff because my cupboards are beginning to groan!

Liverpool

This week I headed up to Liverpool to visit my mum with my friend and her kids (She forbids me to put her name and face on my blog!) The weather was rubbish but we had a great time eating good Northern grub,sinking in sand,Iron men, fun fairs and flea markets . It was my first time away from Henrik since we got married which felt pretty odd!

Sunday

Early car boot sales, farm shops and a bit of DIY. Perfect.
Going up North tomorrow to see my mum, last week of my
summer holidays..... boo hoo
Is'nt that sting ray cute?
