Just joined the British Blog Directory and looking forward to meeting a lot more like minded people, who are inspired by the simple things in life like little old me.

Vegetables are growing in the greenhouse

My old fashioned and truly faithful wooden vegetable holder- broke today. The handle fell off and that is that. So I am using a tin one, it will still do the same job, it is alittle smaller than my old wooden one, but I can still cut flowers and cabbages and they slide in quite well. I have just picked ripe early spring cabbages from my greenhouse and spring onions.

Picking apples off the tree

I have just made a fabulous discovery- I love to pick fruit of any description. The fruit on our old apple trees are growing steadily and soon I can pick them and put them in my basket (pictured ) I found these baskets whilst touring around for a replacement basket, ar'nt they beautiful you can find them at hcandgcountrygifts.co.uk

Do you like my bunting?

Spring is here- OK ignore the rain, but spring is here and to enhance the beauty of spring I have hung up bunting. Do you like it I love it. Isn't it wonderful. Just waiting to pick strawberries from the field and spring really is here. Even if it rains I will celebrate springtime, where nature comes back to life. If you are like me you are constantly looking for that unique item to enhance whatever it is you are doing, it does not have to be expensive but it has to be just so. I look so hard for lovely items to complete my look and to create simple joy, but joy can only exist if it is shared if you like what you see as I ramble through my blog - just ask me and I will tell you where I found my gems.

Where can you get a real good clock?

I struggled to find a place where I could get a Clock that was just right for me. I wanted pretty, I wanted nostalgic, I wanted unusual. Then it hit me why don't I design and sell my own. This is what I did. This is my pride and joy my hearts desire my fulfillment, If you visit my blog I hope you enjoy my little snippets of joy.

Clocks are things to behold forever

What is it about a Clock - that tick tock- that calming sense of knowing you have the time to do what you need to do. They can be modern or old all have a charm. Here are a selection of my favourite clocks. I love square clocks, round clocks, grandfather clocks, any type of clock really. I love pretty things beautiful rustic things to surround me and enhance my well being.
