Heart of Devon

I have been patiently waiting for my red peony to flower and today it is in full bloom with 2 more heads waiting to open, must be all the sun !! Also a picy of 'Daisy' enjoying the sun and my bargain cyclamen which are in fact fake (sshhh!) Hope everyone is enjoying the sun :)

Was my (trying to forget them now!) birthday yesterday and I thought I would post some of the lovely flowers I received from my loved ones - Had a lovely pressie and chocolate cake with friends at work, and had a really fab day :) Life at the moment is really good and am so hapyy with family,work and friends. And we had a quiz night at work and we came 2nd out of 17 teams, my only shame is that on the picture sheet of questions there were 20 pics of chocolate and I knew them all, even ones without wrappers lol !!!. 10 things about me - 1. i'm only 4ft 9inchs tall (say aahhhh) 2. I love my job 3. My cat is very spoilt 4. I love moving house 5. I love chocolate 6. I have obssessive com. disorder for cleaning ! 7. I dont have any brothers or sisters (say aaahhh again!) 8. To my shame I drive a Nissan Micra :( 9. I talk all the time 10. I have tea towels that arent allowed to be used. 5 things i hate - 1. people that lie 2. Moths (snap mrs p!) 3. Eggs 4....

We have just come back from a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds, apart from it feeling like February !!. Main reason was to visit Cath Kidston in Bicester, I bought a new bag, tea towels and cushions covers (both of which are my main buying habit, but hey can think of worse things to be addicted too !), photo's added. It really is a very pretty part of the country, but living in Devon makes you very spoilt (hubby would say i am spoilt anyway!!). Well back to the chores of washing etc..... new teatowels, lovely !!! New bag new white company cushions, bliss !!

Well, what lovely weather we are having in Devon, very hot yesterday and today, got lots of outdoor jobs done, painting etc and planting a window box for the barn window, looks great !! need to take some new photos now !! Back to school today, the teenager was not happy but I certainly was !!, he has been very good actually, and we are all really looking forward to our hols in spain in June, hope we can get there !! We have booked a weekend away near to Bicester as I have noted a Cath Kidston shop at Bicester village, what a patient hubby I have !!. Well back to the garden for more weeding x

Yesterday we drove all the way to Cardiff from North Devon just to buy Ikeas Rosali duvet cover, none in Bristol :( My husband is very kind isnt he !!!

Well we had a couple of nice days but today its raining, i wondered where Daisy had dissapeared to, I had sorted out some duvets to go in the loft and guess what there she was all snugged up !!

Still chilly but the sun is shining today !!. Just bought a lovely red coffee pot which is current pride and joy !. Also we have put panelling in the hallway, looking good but difficult to take a photo of !. Took a photo of an early mothers day card i received, lovely !! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ON SUNDAY TO ALL MUMS, COS WE'RE WORTH IT !!
