They really are very pretty. When we got home I had flowers waiting on the doorstop and mare that Tian and Darren had ordered indoors. I had already been very lucky with cards and gifts so lovely to have fresh flowers too.
This afternoon Tina, Darren and myself went to Eastfield garden centre for afternoon tea. It was really lovely and in a designated area. We had to have a doggy bag to bring home as there was a lot of cake!
I should have mentioned that we did get the dolls house home this morning, after a bit of a struggle getting it into the car. It is on the dining room table at the moment while I decide where it will live. More pics of it, I am excited to have a Tudor house now.
My first job will be painting the timbers black and maybe adding some different colour to the roof tiles.
This evening Anya and Isobel are arriving late so it will have been a really lovely birthday.
Yes, a very happy birthday to you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you’ve had a really good day. Every day should be the same 😊
The earrings look lovely, and one more set to add to the collection is always good. Lots of flowers. Bet it smells really nice in there.
The afternoon tea looks fantastic. Even more there than I’d envisaged after speaking on the phone to you. That’s definitely going on the list of things I’d like to do if I get up there to see you!
The dolls house is perfect for you. I know you’ve always wanted a Tudor house. You’ll get a lot of pleasure from getting it painted and decked out with fittings. Sitting in the summerhouse with a cuppa while making Tudor furniture sounds a good plan to me.
The clan visiting will finish your day off nicely. Enjoy your evening.
A really lovely day, I have been very lucky.
ReplyDeleteThe afternoon tea was really good and the setting was just right too. Definitely a place to take visiting friends and family.
I am really pleased with the house, must get thinking Tudor furniture now!
