feathered friends

 we took a visit to a bird park last week with ellas kindergarten group. so many pretty colours and sounds. the heat was cruel but the kids had fun.







i loved looking up and finding these giant nests. a wonderful piece of architecture!

end of winter

oh dear, we have spend the last couple of weeks passing on flu from one family member to another. the weekends have been grey, wet and miserable - drinking lots of tea (and hot chocolate). we are all now fit and well and signs of spring are definitely appearing. my favourite time of year.

while we spent time tucked under the covers, a new friend arrived to live with us. Jöran - a beautifully crocheted jackdaw created by the very talented cecilia whose work i have loved since i 'met' her on flickr quite a while ago. thank you so much cecilia. i hope i dont trouble him too much with my worries.. you can purchase your own swedish worry bird right here..

i hope you are all well and feeling spring in the air..

have a lovely weekend - i have a backlog of work to catch up on xx

a gift of sunshine..

for some friends out there..

i have never experienced such a mild winter... if you can even call it that. i was a little surprised when i stepped onto the balcony this morning and saw our first poppy blooming... so pretty.

happy thursday to you xx
