More sunshine so a busy day in the garden. We also painted the front door. Lovely to have breakfast and lunch al fresco. The cats like basking too .

It was Spring again today after Winter yesterday! I spotted movement in the garden out of the corner of my eye – Tonks chasing a butterfly! It looks a bit battered but still beautiful.

A day spent in the garden doing a major tidy up so we can plant some veggies. It was good to free the flowers from the weeds and let them display their glory. Fruit trees are blossoming and we have a wee globe artichoke!
We also belatedly celebrated Aonghas’ birthday at our favourite Italian restaurant. I am not allowed to post photos publicly of Aonghas so today’s photo is one from the garden!

Homework, garden work and then some play time. The last film festival offering was ‘Elle’by Paul Verhoeven and then home for a wee dram and a game of cribbage.

Daisies. Such simple things that bring such joy. Fresh faced and cheerful even in the rain. Spotted these from my desk, the rain had stopped so I went out barefoot in the wet grass to marvel at them. And take a photo!!
Day 179 June 27th 2016
A day of rain. Sitting at my computer I only notice it when the sound invades, look out of the window, the sky has darkened but there is a splash of brightness, colour, pink against grey, delicate but strong, withstanding the battering of raindrops.

Love the colours in Autumn. I had to edit this photo because it just didn’t turn out with the vibrancy of colour that was actually there. There is something comforting about fallen leaves, the warm colours and memories of kicking my feet through piles of them in the garden or out on walks with my family as a little girl.
Day 128 May 7th 2016
Back home, the sun shone, a day in the garden clearing up and uncovering surprises. It is still so warm in our Indian Summer that our veggies are still coming and although feijoas are pretty much done, it is citrus season and we have limes and clementines.
Day 105 April 14th 2016
Autumn definitely here: a chilly morning but cleared away to a warm, sunny day. Great drying day and as I hung the washing out I noticed the silk tree flowers silhouetted against the blue sky. So delicate.
Day 80 March 20th 2016
A rest day. Garden pottering and hockey watching. I love raindrops on… begonias!
