Comfort and Joy

Wallflower - by Emma Bridgewater




Things Which Have Made Me Happy This Week

Finding some stunning flower shaped soaps for a friend's birthday

Finally finishing the 1000 piece jigsaw we started at Christmas !

Watching big fat snowflakes fall outside of the window at work on Thursday

Starting to learn actual swimming at my swimming classes 

Seeing all the lovely new Spring pieces at Emma Bridgewater - I'm totally in love with the Wallflower pattern :)

Having pie and mash for tea 2 nights this week

Going to the Elvis Tribute Night at the Village Hall last night - it was a brilliant night out and much fun was had by all

Drinking Pukka's "Love" tea at work - a blend of chamomile, lavender and rose - so calming

Walking the girls in the sunshine this afternoon and seeing their joy at swimming in the beck

Watching our garden bird visitors tucking into their fat balls

Home-made banoffee pie for dessert tonight :)

Heathcote & Ivory beautiful flower soaps

Our Christmas jigsaw - a scene from Whitby - finally finished !

    Sounds like a good week! I've also enjoyed the snow, fed the birds and watched them and had pie and mash twice this week (so good!)

    Great photos, think I must start finding cheerful things to list as so far this year I seem to have had lots of not so cheerful things happening including a bad cold, losing a ring, having a puncture and denting the wheel by hitting a pothole and tripping over and bruising both knees! xx

      Oh Jan! I'm sorry to hear about all your bad luck. Hopefully that's behind you now and you'll only have good things happen to you. I hope your knees are better :) x

    Gosh, you live in such a pretty village! That must gladden the heart! I like my house, and the area I live in, but our village is far from pretty. Utilitarian is the kindest way I can describe it. X
