G has gone off traveling again - Norway - I think to see if he can find more snow....
After much pouting and whinging from me re him going again so soon, I came home from work to find that G had left me some Tulips & some Pussy Willow.... Huge long stems, that are taller than the hearth....
The small people have had lots of fun stroking the pussy cat tails - which I have told them, are sitting on the branches, waiting for collection by willow, who puts them on the baby kittens.
My 8 year old, is rather suspicious re this explanation, but I have told him, if he has a better rational for the name, then let me hear it....
Little Miss, at 5, is entranced - is Willow a boy or girl? Fairy or Elf?
Pondering on these serious questions, they have gone to bed early and I haven't heard a peek out of them since....
Leaving me a quite evening to read these, my bargain bumper pack of housey magazines from Sainsbury's, all 3 for just £6.00
This is actually reading that is required for research purposes, as I am trying to glean ideas for our planned new kitchen, and research is more important than housework tonight....
It really wouldn't be me, if I didn't post a Tulip picture when one was available! The 3 stray purple Tulips sat in amongst the red, have been separated & sit on my bedroom drawers.
Won't I just feel a princess when I wake up in the morning, and spy (once I've put my specs on) these?!
Oh well, I'm off, to dream up some theories for the Pussy Willow questions that I am sure will arrive tomorrow, and to plan my Valentine crafty/bakey session for tomorrow evening.
Love Lydia xx
tulips are very high on my list of fav flowers - i very rarely put flowers in my bedroom though so might have to try that :-)
ReplyDeletehope you got lots of research done :-D i have all those magazines and many more i really need to cut down on how many i buy as spend far to much time drooling over lovely houses and not sorting out anything in my own.....
