Lovely Weekends and pretty things


Hi guys :D 
Have you had a nice weekend?
Mine was fantastic, as i mentioned, my uncle John came to stay for a few days, so went on a jaunt on the bus to a new town 7 miles away (pleased that we didn't have to walk!) that we hadn't visited

John treated us to a new strimmer, so we finally got the grass down from a jungle


I treated myself to a new set of tea-towels with chickens on them! Aren't they cute? And all for the grand price of £1!


A new cafetiere for £1.99 in a charity shop (our old one broke) which had made my week! I don't ask for much, but good, fresh coffee is a must!  


Attempting to make a start on growing things, i bought 3 little herb pots for 50p each.


And John treated me to a new woolen throw (also from a charity shop) it is soooo soft!

These sweet little ponies and foal have moved into a field up the road :) 

It's hard work being so cute all the time!


Proud dad, having a scratch against the tree :)

I, being in a domestic mood, decided it would be fun to wash all the cushion covers, and promptly forgot that two were filled with feathers!


I also bought a new bird feeder and fat balls, the picture is terrible but there is a little sparrow nibbling away


Thieves! The big Jackdaws decided to try it out too! Leaving almost nothing for the other birds! 


What have you been up to this weekend?

      Isn't he? I go past most days and he keeps giving me sideways looks as if he wants to come over for a pat but is too shy yet, and won't leave his mama's side :) Too adorable! xx

  4. Love your chicken towels - I so want some! I love chickens and am always given things with chickens on them. Have you seen the chicken gumboots? I love them so much.
