<span style="font-size: large;">Yay...... I'm off to San Francisco tomorrow to visit Number 1 Snowdrop.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Suffice to say, I'm a tad excited to explore the 'city by the bay' - and to see the boy of course!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you all have a lovely week - I'll be back soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So perhaps I won't be applying for weather girl jobs any time soon!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course the sun can't last forever (can it?), but my fascination with sunburst mirrors carries on......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I wonder what the collective noun for sunburst mirrors is?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A ' ray' perhaps......</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was Louis Armstrong that sang about 'those lazy, hazy, crazy, days of summer'........Well in the UK the first half was fan-tas-tic, but the second half of summer was like November with leaves!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It must be all the years getting my boys ready for school, but I love the beginning of September.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To me, it means a new project, new things, the start of a new term.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There's also a change - in the weather - in the colours around us - in what we eat and what we wear.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm looking forward to......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jewel berry colours......</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a huge fan of <a href="http://www.thewhitecompany.com/">The White Company</a>. Their crisp white bed linen, fluffy towels and home accessories have long been staples in Snowdrop Towers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I looked forward this week to the launch of <a href="http://www.thewhitecompany.com/general-store/">The White Company's General Store</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A collection of classics have been taken from the company's 20 year heritage - <a href="http://www.thewhitecompany.com/general-store">The White Company's General Store</a> - show cases the best of simple, essential (and some not so essential) must- have items for your home. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course I wanted everything.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I very rarely write and publish my posts on the same day - for one thing it takes me ages to get my act together. Not because I'm perfecting my art, but because I'm just very slow! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But this was the sky that we woke to this morning followed by torrential rain and winds - meaning that we had a different day to the one we had planned. So I thought I'd get down in pictures how our day panned out......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We didn't go for the run that usually starts our Sunday......</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">...... surely a word.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As you may know, I love Diptyque candles. At this time of the year exchanging Pomander and Feu de Bois for Figeur and Jasmine.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As a consequence I have a cupboard full of empty glass jars. I use mine as holders for votive candles, or planted up with tiny plants or as vases for Lily of the Valley for a summer dinner party.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Other clever folk are way more imaginative with their empty Diptyque jars......</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The great thing about design as simple as Diptyque's, is that it is a versatile foil to many colours and shapes, and can be used again and again. Even on their own they make a great image.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is my kind of re-cycling!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How do you re-use yours?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you have a lovely week,</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">V. busy in the garden at Snowdrop towers at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's 'open gardens' time again - I mentioned it in a past blog </span><a href="http://thesnowdropproject.blogspot.co.uk/2012_06_01_archive.html">here</a>, <span style="font-size: large;">and two years has passed very quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From my bedroom window it looks blooming marvelous......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U7AfYouwko0/U4DK4tDAv-I/AAAAAAAABuo/M7bVdtbO5q4/s1600/garden.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U7AfYouwko0/U4DK4tDAv-I/AAAAAAAABuo/M7bVdtbO5q4/s1600/garden.jpg" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IghijPY4F6A/U4DLdhCT-YI/AAAAAAAABuw/YNIOUXYFY8I/s1600/gardenme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IghijPY4F6A/U4DLdhCT-YI/AAAAAAAABuw/YNIOUXYFY8I/s1600/gardenme.jpg" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">but up close and personal it looks in need of some urgent care and attention.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nice but bit lazy gardener has gone AWOL, so its all hands on deck to knock it into shape before we open the garden gates on the 22nd of June - I've even had to acquaint myself with the power hose...... but I digress......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My perfect garden would be very formal. I love the form and structure of box hedging, and I don't need a lot of colour - perhaps a touch of white from a lacy viburnum......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-79qN9DsOWOw/U4DOFsmN76I/AAAAAAAABu8/C6tz_K1E6Wg/s1600/viburnum:goldenhillplants.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-79qN9DsOWOw/U4DOFsmN76I/AAAAAAAABu8/C6tz_K1E6Wg/s1600/viburnum:goldenhillplants.jpeg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Or an old favourite Hydrangea......</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In this case Hydrangea Annabelle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But pride of place would go to topiary specimen in the form of 'lollipops'.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been over a year since my last post, and only now I feel </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd like to dip my toe into the wonderful world of blogging </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A lot has happened in the past year.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">- a little domestic hiccup</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">- a bit of blogging nastiness</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">- teenage snowdrops in far flung places</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">- a long distance house refurbish project</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- 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.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A very wet and windy weekend in Majorca, with nothing but a computer and a slightly grumpy Mr Snowdrop for company.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">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 - <a href="http://thebottomoftheironingbasket.blogspot.com/">the bottom of the ironing basket</a> , <a href="http://louboosandshoes.blogspot.co.uk/">loo boos and shoes</a> , <a href="http://home-biba.blogspot.co.uk/">home</a> , </span><a href="http://toneontoneantiques.blogspot.co.uk%20/" style="font-size: x-large;">Tone on Tone</a> , <span style="font-size: large;">and many, many more. That's a lot of reading, but it was very wet!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends, and discovering a whole years worth of new ones.</span><br />

......So...... Since my last post......<br />
<br />
Mr Snowdrop has had 'man-flu'......Enough said!<br />
<br />
Number 1 Snowdrop came home from college in America as a surprise for Mother's Day......That was lovely!<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
And the weather......<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Looking out of the window it's still 'All White'<br />
<br />
Here are some more 'All White' images with perhaps a little artistic licence......<br />
<br />
The snowdrops are hanging on in the garden......<br />
<br />

As some of you might recall, I live in a very 'boy' orientated house.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I have found some more fabulous images that follow this theme......<br />

I can hardly believe it's Friday already. the week disappears so quickly.<br />

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

I have a few things planned for this weekend, but all I really want to do is hunker down at home and get comfy......<br />
<br />
I need to light the fire......<br />
