flowers in the attic petals on the wind book

I need peace and quiet where I can hear my inner voice, and that is ridiculously hard to come by in this house. With all the comings and goings, the conversations and music, it's no wonder I've found it hard to write and create. Little Lady is also currently at home so there are four adults in the house during the day. As you know, J works from home, as does our eldest twenty year old. I'd gotten into the habit of setting up my laptop at the dining table, and no surprise it's been difficult to concentrate when I'm sat in the busiest room in the house. I've been a bit erratic with my blog just lately, and I think it's had a lot to do with my home environment. I've been uploading and sorting through my photos, creating this post, and also writing another blog post ready to share with you in a day or two. I'm sat at my desk right now (it's 8pm), snuggled under the granny stripe blanket, and in fact I've been sat here for many hours today. ♥ clearing off my cluttered little desk in the corner of the bedroom and remembering how much I love writing my blog. ♥ sweet pea babies! Snapped them up from the supermarket and now I'm excited to plant up my big back yard pots ready for summer flowers. ♥ A sleepy kitty and my Springfrost blanket, a quiet, comforting sofa moment at the end of a busy day. Out for a gorgeous family dinner last weekend to celebrate Little Lady's nineteenth birthday. ♥ affogato, my favourite way to round off an Italian meal. ♥ the start of British asparagus season - yay!! Bought this bunch from the market and roasted it, yumm!

♥ walking home at 7pm last Friday after a few cheeky little drinkies at the pub - such gorgeous light and colours.

♥ the powerful fragrance of these beautiful pale pink hyacinths on my table this week. ♥ walking home from the supermarket and enjoying the views along the canal side. ♥ catching up with a friend over a delicious latté at a quiet little indie coffee shop in town. ♥ 7am morning walks with J, starting my week days in the nicest possible way. pain au chocolat fresh from the bakery on a Friday morning, aren't they lucky? ♥ an early walk to the bakery down the road, because once a week I choose to spoil the Little People.
