Muscari Malarkey



Muscari ......Also known as Grape Hyacinth - a small spring flower, most commonly blue.

Malarkey ......Meaningless nonsense - one of my top ten favourite words of all time.

At this time of the year, when the sun isn't always shining, it is a joy to see the gorgeous  Muscari flower......

ooh, hello......remember me?......


It's been over a year since my last post, and only now I feel   
I'd like to dip my toe into the wonderful world of blogging 
again.




Why stop?......

A lot has happened in the past year.

- a little domestic hiccup

- a bit of blogging nastiness

- teenage snowdrops in far flung places

- a long distance house refurbish project

- but you know, I just lost my blogging oomph. I had nothing at all to say.  And the strange thing was I couldn't/wouldn't look at other blogs either.



Why start again?......

A very wet and windy weekend in Majorca,  with nothing but a computer and a slightly grumpy Mr Snowdrop for company.
I had another look at my little old blog - and liked a lot of what I had posted.  One thing led to another, and I revisited the blogs of old favourites - the bottom of the ironing basket , loo boos and shoes , home , Tone on Tone , and many, many more.  That's a lot of reading, but it was very wet!!


I just stopped 'cold turkey' and probably broke all sorts of blogging etiquette - and I bet blogging technology has moved on a lot - but now I'd like to start again. Mistakes and all !!

I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends, and discovering a whole years worth of new ones.

I've missed you guys......
