Small things

As I've said before - this year I'm stopping to smell the roses (although in my case it's the plants that made it through last year - the roses didn't ). It's been school holidays and I've been frantically busy trying to fix everything I didn't last year, but I pulled myself up short just as I felt that drowning emotion and spent some time just to enjoy...


magical cookies made by my beautiful daughter (all by herself)...


a family walk on grandad's beach at Yzerfontein...


beautiful small pieces of blue...


some of my new babies - sweetpeas and coriander...


and last but not least the replacement for my roses - if you can't beat them join them is my motto. Although if I'm entirely honest I haven't completely given up on the roses, but I need to find the perfect spot and in my garden that's the hard part.
