Good evening
Well spring finally seems to have sprung a bit here today - its been lovely. Mostly sunny and warmer than I can remember for quite some time :) Washing has been hung out to dry and windows have been flung open. I spent most of today spring cleaning the conservatory - I'd given it a quick tidy before the estate agent took pictures but it needed its spring clean to cope with closer scrutiny.
Once I'd finished this afternoon it was time for a well earned cuppa in the garden;
Just five minutes of sunshine and a mug of peppermint tea (my new favourite).
Once the tea was drunk it was time for a few photos to be taken - even managed one towards this months Scavenger hunt as well!
Just look at that sky - and the cherry blossom buds - can wait for these to flower - it looks so gorgeous.
Hunting for other signs of spring I spotted a few catkins high on the branches - thank goodness for a good zoom on my camera!
Lastly something I bought last week which I've been meaning to snap. I needed a new picture for my bedroom to replace one that I've taken down - I spotted this in our shop the other week and luckily it was still there when I had some spare money;
Its a proper oil painting not a print - the note of the back says it was painted as a present in 1977. I love it and its not something I plan to part with - yellow roses grow in the front garden here and they are something I will miss when I move.
Right thats enough for tonight - I've a few more pictures but I'll save them for a post another night. Trying hard to get back into proper blogging and not just the Scavenger Hunt and Happy posts - if this sunshine continues I can't see it being a problem!!
See you soon

It must be lovely seeing those touches of Spring after winter.
How nice to find such a lovely painting for your bedroom.
I'm sad to hear you will have to move. That must be very difficult for you and your family.
Take care,

Sounds like its warming up in your part of the world, that's what I need to do make more time to take a tea break, feels like on the go from the time my eyes open.
Tea in the garden, perfect! :) x

Good luck with your house sale Vicki, very good time of year for selling, I always think everything looks at its best ... spring cleaned and fresh!

Ah, we were there with you, as it were, in the sunshine on Sunday... isn't it lovely? But now, we have the dreaded Vent d'Autan, at gale-force levels, and we're all hiding inside again! Very best of luck with the house sale - do you have plans for your new home yet, or are you just waiting for movement on the sale first?
That painting is lovely :)

Hasn't it been glorious today? The forecast's appalling for the rest of the week and I wish I'd found the time to line dry the washing! xxx
