All White Here......

......So...... Since my last post......

Mr Snowdrop has had 'man-flu'......Enough said!

Number 1 Snowdrop came home from college in America as a surprise for Mother's Day......That was lovely!

Number 2 Snowdrop has thrown a wobbly over his forthcoming exams - the important ones that will hopefully get him into Uni - stating that he can't do it so he won't!......Don't worry I'm on the case!

We've had wedding anniversaries, 80th Birthday parties, trips to the theatre and concerts, so it's been a bit busy and when I've had the time to blog, I've just not had the inclination or inspiration!

And the weather......

Unusually for this part of the UK, we have had a fair bit of snow. The strange part being that usually it doesn't really hang around for long.  This year however, the temperature hasn't risen and we seem to be stuck with it.

Looking out of the window it's still 'All White'

Here are some more 'All White' images with perhaps a little artistic licence......

The snowdrops are hanging on in the garden......

It looks like everything is 'loose covered' here!......

For the boys......

As some of you might recall, I live in a very 'boy' orientated house.

I do try to add a few feminine touches with the odd bunch of flowers and many,many candles to soften our home.  But truth be told, I love strong lines and deep colours and quite like the masculine look.

I have found some more fabulous images that follow this theme......

Comfy......

I can hardly believe it's Friday already. the week disappears so quickly.

The weather has turned cold again and I've heard a whisper that we may get some snow.

I have a few things planned for this weekend, but all I really want to do is hunker down at home and get comfy......

I need to light the fire......

And curl up on the sofa......

Simple flowers......

Isn't it lovely at this time of the year, that a simple flower - easily available from a local florist or even the supermarket - can transform a room and lift our spirits.

Sometimes scented, like Hyacinths......

Spring blossom turns a simple bunch of flowers into something special......

And of course I couldn't resist the idea of bringing Snowdrops inside......

Spring is on it's way!

Memories......

Can you imagine leaving your home after 43 years?

This week we went to a fare-well party for some friends in our village who are moving after 43 happy years.  In this case a beautiful manor house dating back to the 1500's.

I wonder what you would miss about your home if you had to move......

Would it be the garden you had worked on over the years?......

That special view......

That quiet corner, perfect for getting away from it all......

Your kitchen perhaps......

The start of many a cup of tea......

Your drawing room?  Only used on high days and holidays, but what a lovely room......

Or the snug where many a cozy evening by the fire have been spent......

For me, I'd miss the memory of the hundreds of family and friends that had passed through the doors.

How about you?

Hope you have a lovely week,
