Tea in a Strawberry Cup

Wisteria buds-I must have pruned it at the right time last year as it is flowering at the same time as everyone else's!

I like the way the Spring mainly starts off white, then moves onto yellow then blue. Pixie hat bluebell.

Voila! Swept and tidied. I still have some sorting of pots to do, but it is better than it was. I have kept three flower pots full of dead grass for the cats. Lily is using one here.

This doesn't look much but represents three days of work! I finished off by raking it and am proud! I deserved a pot of tea after all that digging and raking. I popped to Greenwich this morning to get some postcards to send to a friend's friend's children. The market is on Thursday and I do find it hard to resist. I was quite restrained, what with all the money I am about to spend on the garden, but this tea cup and saucer caught my eye.

It is so pretty and nice to hold with a strangely large handle.

I don't know how long it will last as I seem to be breaking a lot of things this week.

The price tag was tied on with this little ribbon.

This round window is lovely isn't it? I like the design and the way the light catches in different places in the triangular panes. It reminds me of a diagram I once produced as part of a management training session (when I was briefly in management!) representing people's different styles. It turned out the management team were all, with the exception of two people, people pleasers (as in this is their prime motivation) ''Good!' I thought.

A dark and dramatic print of some explorers.

A table of rather undignified dolls-not their fault of course.

Strange mixture of metalwork and baby dolls.

Great pirate chest!
