Five things......

''The average span of human life is 

less than 1,000 months.  If for a third of them you are asleep, 

and a third you're in Tesco, 

the other third. about  25 years is left for you

to live well''

Here are five things that help me to live well......

   A lovely cup of tea ......

Planning a trip to Paris......

Wonderful scented candles......

The first flowers of spring...... 

Early mornings............





There are plenty more to come.....


I wonder what things help you live well!

Rainy days......

I woke up to heavy rain, but thought that it would be a perfect day to visit one of my favourite garden centres.

Clifton Nurseries in London's Little Venice, is the oldest and one of the most inspiring garden centres there is.


From the road follow a plant filled alley into a secret oasis full of plants and objet, destined for smart and sometimes not so smart London gardens.

If only I could transport these to my garden........

Box heaven!



Or this magnificent display of spring plants......

....


Time for tea now?......


But no! Cafe closed for refurbishment!!


No Red Velvet cake today.  My diet thanks you.

Of course I couldn't leave without buying something...........

These are called Salagillena, but in my house we call them Yum Yums!!

It was a Yum Yum morning!

It's about time......

I've been thinking about writing a Blog for ages - may be years, but in my usual procrastinatory  (oh yes spell-check, I'm sure that is a word!) did nothing abut it.

I thought about it again last year and finally after a lot of deliberation, research and a lot more thinking about it took the plunge, chose a name, set up a site, chose a template and ....... more nothing!

It was my good friend Fiona that said 'Just do it', or was that Nike? Anyway she said get on with it and write your first post.

I have set myself a challenge of posting on this  Blog at least once a week, hopefully more.  But its going to be a  slow process and it might not be very pretty.  But here goes nothing!

Wish me luck.....
