*good life wednesday* with miss.sarah from a beach cottage...
when i think of home...australia home...
i think of blue skies...sand...salt...the sound of kookaburra's...
when i think of our life in england...
i think of the countryside...wellies...football {soccer}...horse riding...travels abroad...flowers...
as spring is approaching...
&
this time i truly believe it is...
the countryside is coming alive...
we hear birds first thing as we wake again...
we have shoots appearing through out the garden...
i can *put* the kiddos out for much longer as the days are lengthening...
so...as spring is approaching...
the british-besite & i did our first spring-is-approaching-country-nursery-visit to mark the occasion...
& to fill my french tin buckets & pots at the front door...
there is nothing lovelier than cruising round back country lanes...
to hidden nursery gems with the b.b...
she has it all down pat...
car ready...
wellies on...
£20 limit...
including the coffee stop...
we delighted in the *nothing-ness* of it all...
just a gorgeous sun-shining saturday afternoon excursion round the farms...
two gals...
two hours...
& a mission for flowers to pot...
after a morning of vintage basket hunting...football {soccer} cheering...coffees & the park...
this was a perfect way to top of the day...
gorgeous wooden trays of daffs for £4.50...
ranunculus for 80 pence a tub...
little pots of white balansae for the same...
h.e.a.v.e.n...
truly a *good life wednesday*...
stop & smell the roses
with other
*good life wednesday*

What a perfect day! Those ranunculas are to die for, but daffodils are my absolute favourites :)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely! Have a beautiful day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeletesounds like a lovely day to me...and ranunculus...one of my favorites! but how could a morning with coffee, wellies and a best friend not be a wonderful day?
ReplyDeleteOh... I want to come... please can I? Bulbs are so expensive here in the States... in fact all things garden are... or perhaps just the tri-state area?? Anyhoo, this looks like the perfect day and ranunculus are my favourite... Beautiful pictures... Okay I'm going to sit and sulk now... Lx
ReplyDeleteMe again... okay sulking stopped... parcel arrived this morning and I am moved to tears... and that's just at the wrapping... I'm not kidding. I can not believe that you did this for us.. beyond sweet... We haven't opened our beautiful packages yet, as I wanted to wait till E was home from school, but I had to tell you how moved I am... ... Thank you, thank you for being my dear, dear pen friend... Lx P.S. I'll update you on girls shrieks of joy later!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a lovely, lovely day! The bulbs & flowers are beautiful and I can't wait for our spring! xoxo Beth
ReplyDeleteLove ranunculus. I can't believe it's already time for spring planting. It still seems like we're in the dog days of winter.
