Back home

And home

back from our daughters house, later tonight we are driving to the airport to collect them, the drive is 90 mins each way, I hope the flight is on time. 

Repeat of last time

 Tulips are looking good

I did think I would miss most of the blooms

but they waited until I came home

 The promise of colour

 Bluebells are clumping up nice, I purchased just a few English bulbs

Try not to look at the dustbin

but there is a beautiful Snakes Head Fritillaria hiding under a plant. 

 Looking the other way

I love this side garden

 My peonies are in bloom

this plant is over 50 years old from my mum's garden, I shared it with my sisters  when the house was sold, sorry if you already knew that. 

I am so proud to still have this plant

Plus white daises growing in the corner, which was the only flower my dad would grow, his domain was the veg garden. 

I had a great time at daughter and SIL's house, Minty their cat is lovely, I wanted it to be a restful time, but in truth I was tired most of the time, the amount of overtime done took it's toll. There is more overtime in the coming weeks, but I am going to limit how many days I do.
Our street has been fun, the neighbours are not happy, MCW has not moved her car since last Saturday, the police popped in to suggest it would be nice for her to move it now there were other spaces, but she refused. So hubby has watched everyone having a moan about her, he quiet wisely has kept out of it.
I only stitched a few hexagons in the past week, but I have been deciding what to stitch next, I think it's time for me to do the Christmas tree, it's fun and not too big, then I will do the cushion for hubby.
