Good morning all.

It's a flower fest for you today.

The stunning roses were given to me by my little sis.  I've never had such beautiful roses. They have opened slowly and are jewel-like in colours.  So far they have lasted nearly a week and look just as fresh and lovely.

On Sunday we went for a long walk around Attingham Park so that we could see the snowdrops. They were wonderful, stretching over acres of wooded ground. The blue sky and warm sunshine made it a perfect trip out 

And then, look! I have daffs in full bloom in my garden as well as some primroses. It seems early but I suppose we haven't had a a very cold winter.

Lastly, this is the last little, fluffy sheep creme egg cover that I made last night..

I now have about 60 covers in two baskets ready for the charity..

So that's it for this week 

I hope you are all well and looking forward to Springtime just around the corner.

The first snowdrops of 2014 - spotted last Sunday under the hedgerow!
Well that always makes me smile - just the thought of Spring being just round the corner.

Today is January 17th and I always reflect on our parents happy marriage - now 72 years ago.
Though no longer with us, I remember how they described their wartime wedding - Mum in a powder blue suit and Dad in RAF uniform, I think. It's a shame there are no photos of that happy day.
(I could write more but I have just popped over to Annie's blog so I can link up and surprise, surprise - she has written about it too. She has said it all so beautifully, I don't need to say more)

So raise a glass to that young couple who enjoyed a happy life together and who left a warm loving place in lots of folks hearts.
