March things

What a lovely weather we had, unfortunately it is coming to an end for my Easter party.

Ranunculus are in season, my second favorite flowers ever, and I am taking the full advantage of the Kingston Market flower stand who sell them in beautiful colours.

Tulips are also appearing in my home but I am yet to wait for my own to bloom. Rosemary is blooming though with pretty purple flowers.

Car boot sale today, great results:

An enamel mug and Festival of Britain shot glasses

Tin tractor and Dr. Seuss for the Bug

Frames for a future decoration project

A fuel rationing book

I used the last year’s apples and blackberries from the freezer and made a pie with this recipe, the stem ginger adds so much to the fruit, delicious.

We visited Isabella Plantation to admire magnolias, camellias and some rhododendrons.

Much gardening was done but that’s another post.

The first BBQ of the year.

And Mad Men season 5 has started!

    What pretty pictures! I adore ranunculus too. That pie looks delish, yum! Am always very impressed by your baking.

    Such gorgeous photographs, very jealous that your heading into Spring! I was having a scroll through some of your flickr and there’s a lovely photograph of yourself with Freddie- and a super grey bag with turquoise edging. Any chance of some bag details? :-)

    Thank you Miranda!

    Kasia, thank you so much. The bag is from Whistles, it was from few seasons ago but I know they have an archive on their website. It was a sale bargain for about £40 last winter.
