Joining in again with lou's nature in the home Here
I'm not sure what this flower is but I love it. It flowers from spring until late in the year and the combination of lilac and bright yellow is so beautiful. There is a huge bush of it by my back gate and I often pick a bunch for in the house.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

52 weeks of happiness
A quiet week getting back into my normal routine. I don't do a lot some weeks but I am so happy and contented with my life. M had an unexpected Friday off so we had a trip to Lincoln. So here are a few of the happy things for this week.

Nature in the home
I found this wonderful web site here and decided to join in nature in the home. Although I live in a small market town there are lots of little paths and shortcuts which have lots of wild flowers,bushes etc growing beside them. I picked these on my way home today and they cheer my little kitchen up nicely.

52 weeks of happiness 1/52
Well I am late starting this but so what.
Things that have made me happy this week - where do I start - so much happiness this sunny summer week.
1. Finishing knitting a baby blanket for Hannah. I agreed to knit it before checking the size - huge- much bigger than I thought a baby blanket would be and I didn't check the pattern either - it is actually two blankets sewn together. Although it was very easy to knit it was very boring and tedious. So very happy it is finished.
2. Time spent with family.
3. Meeting Fia again after a week away.
4. My favourite breakfast - fruit compote layered with Greek yogurt and topped with granola. Also good for dessert.

A relaxing day.
After the hectic last week it was so nice to just relax and potter. It was yet another warm sunny day so I had a slow stroll into town to get in some shopping, then back to the house for lunch in the garden - Hannah and I went to Newcastle on Wednesday and treated ourselves to these

Summer Outing
Lunch was followed by a train ride
And a game that spans generations - blowing a dandelion clock.
Next was a play with all the games in the maze
Then a slow wander around the farm
A drive on a tractor
Next was a play with all the games in the maze
Limbo pole??
Making beautiful?? music
Giant Jenga
Chess
After a fun afternoon we finished off with an ice lolly for Wee C and a cream scone for mum and grandma. And as for baby B - he slept most of the afternoon.Monday, June 3, 2013
Summer at last
Summer has arrived at last. Another warm, sunny day and a leisurely walk to the garden centre to buy some plants and have cuppa.
The rape seed is blooming a bit later than usual but is glorious and colourful

The hedgerows are full of hawthorn blossom which has always been one of my favourites.
I feel so much better with a bit of sun and all this beauty around me.
I've even managed to catch up in the garden and have planted up most of my pots now.
The lilac in the garden is coming into flower and the scent is heady and strong - lovely.
The clematis is in full bloom and there is a fence full of it outside the kitchen - lovely to look at while washing the dishes. It always cheers me up.
