Love Corner

Ivy has grown over,

withered and left a

heart shape on the building.

Seen near the Thames in Greenwich.

Spread love wherever you can.

 

 

Flowers Galore

Here are my favourite flower pictures I took recently

All taken by me in Norfolk.

Again we are enjoying some lovely hot Summer weather for a couple of days.

Not going out that much I enjoy the beauty closer to me.

Have a wonderful week!

Sending some Sunshine to All

Sending everyone some sunshine.

Wishing you a wonderful Week. ♥

 

 

Hello September!

Welcome September !

The Motto for September is:

 

Make today awesome that yesterday gets jealous. 

 

Enjoy and celebrate each day,

be purposeful,

be focused,

be intentional,

bloom every day,

be happy.

Make every day count.

What you do today, may impact your future,

and will definitely create a past.

Create a past you love to remember.

 

 

Yesterday is gone.

Tomorrow has not yet come.

We have only today .

Let us begin.

Mother Theresa

 

Wishing you a really awesome September!

 

 

Gooderstone Enchanted Garden and Oxburgh Hall – amazing gardens and walks

A trip to the Enchanted Water Garden in Gooderstone

We walked over all bridges and enjoyed the peaceful garden to the full with its’ colour

and smells.

 

Oxburgh Hall

At this time of year all gardens are so colourful and have such beauty.

We did the long walk through their forest which was so refreshing

and such a great walk watching many birds and small insects around us.

It leaves me breathless walking through.

 

Short Retreat

During this beautiful hot weather in Britain

I went for a short retreat

to Norfolk to Thetford Forest.

Our accommodation was very secluded, and really amazing.

 

So quiet and peaceful.

This is so recommendable, just relax and chill.

The Lynford Arboretum just next door,

perfect for our evening walks… trees everywhere.

We did lots of walking in the forest and at Lynford Waters.

At night. as there was no light pollution at all,

we even saw shooting Stars from the Perseid Meteor shower.

Even a short getaway is a great rest and energy giver.

 

More Cornflower beauty

My cornflowers are having more flowers.

They don’t only come in the deep blue as in this post 

there are more colours now

Beautiful purple,

then pink, light lilac and white came along.

They surprise me every day!

It opened

My passion flower plant has lots of leaves and grows really well in the front room.

3 days ago I noticed a bud,

I got so excited.

Today it opened

Isn’t it exceptionally beautiful?

My total joy, I needed to share it.

Enjoy Summer!

 

Hello August!

Welcome August !

The Motto for August is:

Miracles happen every day!

sunset July in London – picture taken by me

There are only two ways to live your life

One is as though nothing is a miracle

the other is as though everything is a miracle.

Albert Einstein

 

Wishing you a miraculous August!

 

 

Craft trials

Time for something new:

I tried the other day to paint a stone.

It was a very porous stone.

This is my result.

It was rather hard, I’m not so good in drawing so this will be my only one.

It looks nice in the garden, I varnished it to weatherproof it.

I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought,

so I’ll stick to the crafts I do better and enjoy more.

Like knitting  a little fragrance pouch for example.

It is good to try different crafts out.

One way to find out what you truly enjoy.

 

“Give yourself freedom to try out new things.

Don’t be so set on your ways that you can’t grow.”
