Well, it really was one of those misty mornings, rain overnight, the ground noticeably wet underfoot and the sun taking its time to peak through the clouds. A proper wintertime morning in the garden. Out early to see Honeybee, Michael spent time checking on the animals while I spent time going from garden bed […]

Hello, how has your week been? It’s been a rainy Friday here and I’ve finished off the working week with looking at the latest home and garden magazines online at the Tasmanian Library, LINC Tasmania. It is such a great website, every libary on the island is linked. Where ever you live, I highly recommend […]

Like some women collect diamonds or fine china or shoes, I have a fondness for embroidery on linen or 100% cotton. Little stitches carefully and meticulously hand sewn, the time and attention to detail.

You know those wintertime jobs that pull everything back from looking too unloved and slightly […]

Hello, It’s lovely that you are here. I know I say it a lot but it is heartfelt and truely meant. In between waiting for pie filling to cool, potatoes to roast and the dishwasher to finish, I shared some more Iphone Wallpapers on Instagram Stories last night, you may have seen them? With Instagram […]

Good morning, With the leaves mostly gone from the trees there is a starkness to the garden now but when the Winter sunshine is out everything feels cloaked in its warmth. Does that make sense? The little droplets on the silver birches sparkle, sunshine reflects off the glass window panes. Cloudy silver skies turning powdery […]

A little posie of violets. Today is the second last day of this series. I have loved it. And it will be great to be posting a variety of different things again. But you may notice the odd Blog Journal post or Instagram post with the same title A moment in the day. ~ My […]
