Tussy Mussy.......

I finally made it into the garden yesterday afternoon - just some weeding the mostly shifting hoses around my very dry garden beds. I still haven't planted the bulbs - so I hope this week I can at least get them in.

I think "survival mode" would be the best way to describe my life at the moment! Busy at work and busy children at the moment - I just so wish to be at home.

I took my secataurs for tour of my garden as the sun was setting last night. I was so pleased to find enough to cut to make this posy. The rose is "Rosette de Lissy" and is just covered at the moment - I love it. The lavendar lines our front path to the door and is just covered at the moment and of course parsley from the vege patch.

I had a little play with some old family photos and our printer - it is quite amazing what it can do.

This is my dear great grandmother - Daisy Elizabeth Whittle Whitehead. From left to right, I have always been told she was about 12 years, about 18 in the middle and as I remember her a dear old lady in her 90's. The glasses belonged to my maternal great grandfather - Thomas Richard Spence.

My dear Nana, Eleanor - the photo on the left when she was a bidesmaid when she was a teenager and then with her two eldest boys my Dad on the right and his brother on the left.

See the flower frogs and the cute little cake pedestal - my latest "thrift" shop finds!! I just love visiting those shops, you never know what you will find.

Well , off for a busy day with children in the Eistedfodd today. Sessions at 12.30, 3.30 and 6.30, so I think that takes up the rest of the day. Mitchell off to camp in the morning as well - hiking and camping in tents for the week - I think he can have that one all to himself!
