I ventured out briefly to enjoy my garden in a moment of sunshine and what a treat to see the flowers beginning to wake up post-snow!

At this time of year, I often feel the grey close in and it feels like everyday is a long toil to get through. But then I see the bulbs in the soil beginning to sprout, and I remember that soon we'll be inundated with spring flowers and that warmer, lighter, brighter days are on their way.
There is beauty in the knowledge that spring is on its way, but there is also faith and hope in that knowledge.
I think back to the autumn when I planted my bulbs and the belief I had in tomorrow...wise words from Audrey:

Hello World!
I'm back--back in England, and hopefully back (shortly) to health. I came down with a terrible terrrible flu in Genoa and was having to lie low for quite some time. I'm still feeling ill, but bit by bit I think I'm on the mend.

{spring!}

With that, I feel like things can only get better. My health can only improve, and the weather is just a little warmer and just a little brighter today, which makes me think...spring might just be on its way!
I've got some lovely tulips adorning my beautiful new/old vintage table cloth I bought in Italy at the antiques market (which needs ironing, but never mind!)

So much to catch up on, but that'll wait until I'm really better. I'm trying to do only essential things these days in order to get better as fast as I can.

Hello and Happy New Year!
Excuse the silence dear readers! I was away in lovely Mexico, then fell really ill, and am only starting to recover now.
Work is as crazy as ever, so I'll have to play catch up soon. So many lovely photos from Mexico to share. I had a really really busy 2016, and stretched myself a little too far. So if I can learn something for 2017, it's just take things a tiny tad slower.
Today is Thursday, so let's have a quote!

{flowers}

I like this quote to start 2017, because it's all about making your life what you want it to be. Don't blame your failures on others, or wait for someone else to make a success of you. Go out there and find the life that you want. Don't expect others to do it for you! & when you haven't the time to plant your own garden, buy yourself some flowers!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Hello Thursday! How did you get here so fast?!
Hope you all are having a good week. I've been working so hard this summer that I feel like it's come and gone with no vacation. boohoo...
But, this week I'm putting the final revisions on my book before it goes out again for review...
I have to agree with the quote below:

{until it's done}

Having printed out the entire manuscript, I was able to spend some of my time outside this week in my garden, which also reminded me that:

With my shed looking all lovely, of course there are flowers to see: 

 

I'm off to my cousins for a  minibreak this weekend.

Hope you have something fab planned too.
