Ta Daaaa!

At last…. the daisies are flowering like lollipops on our windowsill.

Asymmetric Visual Overload

Oh dear… trying to get down this staircase the other night proved tricky. I lost my balance whenever I looked up and Mr Happy got vertigo whenever he looked down. What a pair….

Transfer Prints

Hmmmm… thinking about transfer prints - this is a lovely example.

Flower dammit…

So, the window boxes have been out on the sill for two weeks, and still no flowers… the phrase ‘watched pot’ comes to mind… hmmmm

Beaky

Freaky - I saw a huge male pheasant in the middle of Kilburn yesterday morning - didn’t get a picture - sorry - but it so shocked me that I thought I would put it up here and ask for any other urban freak beaked sightings. I thought “well, there’s a sign of climate change” before remembering that pheasants are the countryside’s silliest birds, and that it was probably confused and lost rather than displaced and lonely… or perhaps it was coming to visit some London ladies…. who knows!

Mimosa

It’s the Dr Seuss 105th anniversary today, so here is some mimosa for the occasion – it evokes much nostalgia for The Guff character

Library Love

Aldeburgh library is a gem. It would make the most perfect house too.

Spring table

Went to pick up a new table for the studio - Had a note saying… table left in lambing barn. Hard not to take a picture of these friendly guardians of our Basil Spence table.

Sprung

The Crocus carpet is back. Visiting the heath on the weekend I was greeted by this beautiful display (there was an abundance of snowdrops on the other side of the path but I neglected to photograph those, tsk!). As Baxter put it, “it’s very nice but you couldn’t play football on that lawn.” Or croquet for that matter….

Eagle Court

I came across this lovely doorbell at Eagle Court, Farringdon (such a shame that it’s been allowed to fall into a terrible state of disrepair) and wondered who would come to the door if you pressed it….

I’m a sucker for a bit of backlighting….

The display of stained glass at the V&A is just breathtaking - go why don’t you - because my rubbish photo doesn’t do a smidge of justice to the beauty and quality of the light.
