Fish Teapot, Bee and Another Poppy

04 Jun

1   Actually, I have always thought this teapot is ugly! I inherited it from my beautiful and wise Mum, who died 21 years ago today, and  in whose family it was for years. There is a plate to stand it on or to serve the biscuits to go with the tea and the spout is the bigger fish swallowing a smaller fish. It made my Mum laugh and actually, today as I unwrapped it, I decided that I quite like it too!

I am taking a break from blogging for a little while. It won’t be for long as I shall find it hard!  Stay well, stay safe, smile  and be kind to everyone you meet as you never know what goes on in other lives.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Lunchtime, Bees and Planting

17 Mar

1    Beautiful warm sunshine took us outside today and our first lunch in the garden this year – a simple one of sun-warmed tomatoes and home-made guacamole with melba toasts followed by sweet clementines.

3    We’ve also done our first plantings – two varieties of shallots and a big Birch tree, something the lovely Mr S has hankered over for years and has at last achieved.
