Delightful Days


                                                            Available for purchase here

I love watching for signs of spring and feeling the warmth in the air. Our winters are relatively mild yet spring still holds special treats and a sense of all things new and fresh again. The older I become the more I savour each season, enjoying the delights unique to each passing one.













 Our first lavender flower for the season is adding it's wonderful bright purple to the garden.










Yesterday Miss N (14) treated us to a new recipe for lunch, a delicious Layered Ham and Cheese Pie. Very tasty!

  7. Hi there - I like the flowers a lot, and the pie looks even better! That could have been caused by a lack of dinner so far this evening!

    I was rather impressed with the reef shots myself!

  27. All your shots of that lavender are delightful and so interesting to look at - would love to see that as a series on a wall or something similar. I had to smile about Miss N's pie as someone at lunch mentioned that Taste site today to me - being that I'm not a great cook I'm obviously slow off the mark because everyone around the lunch table nodded in acknowledgment of the site address! Miss N must have been so pleased with the result.
