Snippets from my Week

Hello Lovelies,
Thank you all so much for your lovely chatty comments on my previous "snippets" post. Even after four years of blogging I still wonder what makes an interesting read. I was surprised to get so many comments on that odd little mish-mash of moments, but I loved reading all your kind words and advice.

Once again I have random photos to share so here are this weeks snippets.

On Wednesday I spotted this tapestry wool in the charity shop. I LOVED the colours and I've seen other clever creative types crocheting with this stuff......so it came home with me...........

Here it is all laid out.............

 Forty skeins for £4 ........I'm not sure what I'll make with it yet :0)

 More garden posies..............

There was so much to choose from this week.........I LOVED picking a few of the first pinks to add to my display.............

 They come up year after year and take no looking after...plus they last ages in a vase......wonderful.

When I was doing my weekly shop I picked up these Dahlias to pop in the gaps in my cut flower bed.........

 I'm not sure if they will be suitable for cutting, but at least they will look pretty....as long a the snails don't eat them!

Sunny snooker. This old snooker table lives in the shed , until it's a warm sunny summers day , then hubby gets it out, plonks it on the picnic bench, and challenges the boys to a tournament...............




A new bedroom poster.

Youngest has had a HUGE poster of the world on his bedroom wall for a few years now. It's been great to look at and discuss where countries are etc, but it kept falling down and was starting to get torn. Last week I sent for something different..............

 I think I buy these as much for my interest as for my boys......did you know one day on Venus is 243 days long?

Poppies in the early morning sun.
A quick photo in the car park at work before heading inside on a glorious morning...............

I love the way such delicate looking flowers manage to grow in surprise places.

Posting my mandala to Lucy.....in a rather large envelope...........

Yesterday I headed out with two of my boys to go to the post office and stopped opposite the allotments to take the photo above.

Just as were were about to go I spotted a chap coming from his allotment with lots of yummy looking strawberries. I just said how good they looked and he gave me a punnet.....I did offer to pay him for them but he insisted on giving them to me......I was really touched......such a kind gesture from a stranger.............

If there are red smudges on the back of my package when you receive it Lucy, you know where they came from.

I passed on the good will by giving both of my boys money to donate to the kind people collecting for the RNLI  outside the post office and the shop..............

I hope you all have a happy Sunday Lovelies.
