A perfect weekend

What A perfect weekend for a first blog post. It started off getting surprised to a nice hot cup of tea from Adam before he headed off to work.

I got dressed and enjoyed breakfast outside. All of the bulbs we planted last October are now in full bloom and the scent from the hyacinths was beautiful.

Clear blue skies as far as the eye could see.

The Rose that Adam bought me when I finished my A-Levels is looking really healthy, although we did have to give him a spray to protect him from greenfly.

Mutley was chilling in his favourite sunning spot, before running about the garden to chase the magpies away.

One of the Hyacinth pots. I mixed the colour up when planting them last year, very happy with how they turned out. Unfortunately most of the yellow ones seem to be struggling a bit, the ones in this pot seem the best out of all of them.

The Daffoils have all shot up as well and so far haven't started getting droopy. Dispite buying mixed coloured bulbs, Its about 75% pure yellow ones with the rest being yellow and pale yellow, however somewhere in one of the planters there is a single pure white one.

Our homemade window box, now that is has some colourful plants in, its made the other windows look a little bare. So I think this year we'll be making some more up.

The Above are two little flower pot decorations that M&S sold last year. They are just cute, and we hoped to find another watering can one but they seemed to be sold out in very M&S we visited after we got these ones.


When Adam got home we headed down to town, I got treated to some fab new nail polish (£0.99 and it last for ages) and a few bits from Hobbycraft (Aida, embroidery hoop and some pieces of felt.). I drooled over a die cutting machine display for a minute trying to convince myself that I really don't need one. Adam wasn't helping one bit commenting on how many cards I do make myself.

On the way home we stopped by KFC (Our local one has really friendly staff and the food is always freshly cooked.) We arrived home and enjoyed our meal out on the patio.

On Sunday we spent the morning in the Black Forest park, we haven't taken Mutley over there for a while so it was a nice treat for him. Normally he's a little bit nervous of travelling in the car so we thought we would have to bundle him into the car but surprisingly he put up little resistance and hopped on my lap once I got in. He had a little shake once we started driving, but that soon stopped, and once he realized where we were going he perked right up giving happy little grumbles. We spent a good few hours wandering around, enjoying lunch (and a nice bowl of water for Mutley) at the open field part of the park, before we walked around the lake and headed back to the car.
