Weekend Getaway

Via Tumblr

To think I've always dreamed of my own garden shed (a place for spades and pots and other what-nots). This just changes everything.

But I Live Like This...

I count myself lucky and blessed.

I Could Live Like This...

Blogging, Birthdays, Buddies en Dorings

I am now the proud owner of one of the sweetest tin mugs ever to grace this earth - see more of her fab designs here.

Sometimes you need a special kind of friend to remind you what you've started, what you've achieved and what you've left by the way side. Henriette from tjou-tjou is such a friend. It's been six months since I've visited my own blog and I've missed this space. So, Henriette thank you my friend for my very special pressie and for sitting on my case (ever so nicely). Jy's my favourite "doring in die vlees".

Lucky Packet Relish

Ala hubby: Finely chop spring onions/chives, chillies, cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic and olives and throw together with heaps of yummy olive oil. Season and drizzel over the closest thing on hand. YUM.

Start With What You've Got

It's a new year and it holds the promise of many new things. Not least in that it's not last year. So for me it's onwards and upwards and my garden (much to my surprise and delight) is full of lovely surprises.

The seeds we eventually got around to planting in a rather higeldy pigeldy fashion are coming up in a delicious  lucky packet kind of a way. One lovely sunshiny tomatoe hidden amonst other still unidentified veggie growth, spring onions or are they chives, carrots, chillies, onions!, spinach, rocket, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers - who knew! It's messy I'll give you, but marvelous.

Time For A Blooming Rest

I'm on holidayeeah! It's the first time I've had my camera out for a while and this little arrangement on my table made me happy - so I shot it :)
