Sunday has flowed into Monday


Sunday Sunday
I donned my new frock for its first outing.

It’s made by a small company who make one-offs or small limited edition clothing.
Recycled and remade in the UK.


No fancy restaurants again this year for Mother’s Day.
Instead I went to pick up afternoon tea trays from our favourite farm shop & tearoom.



The wandering welder scrubbed up for an afternoon
spent with his mother in law


And here she is complete with her Mother’s Day flowers
from her youngest who is down the other end of the country
in Oxford.


Keeping the air miles down, Jill had ordered the flowers from
local florist FUNKY FLORAL who are literally five minutes 
from Mum’s front door.  Mum was quite smitten by the young man
who delivered them.



The evening was spent watching the final of the Great Pottery
Throw down, Countryfile and Top Gear.

MONDAY

For the first time in days we’ve got sunshine and blue skies.
I’m so glad as we had to go out on important business today
and it needed a bright day to go along with the job in hand.


There’s been a special request for more pictures of Mr Dapper
chap,  so here you go Kathryn.  You’ve got two today haha.
Oh, and he said to say hello to you and what a great job you all
did on the afternoon tea trays.


On the way home we stopped off at the cemetery to collect
the planters off Auntie Gladys grave, ready to fill them with
spring colour for the first anniversary of her passing. This
tiny snowdrop was right by the side where her name is.
She always could make anything grow anywhere.


There was a bit of garden tidying to finish off the afternoon
and tonight we will be tuning into the ITV series Forgotten later.

Hope everyone’s week has got off to a good start and there’s
been some sun to make you smile.

  5. Your new frock is delightful, Lynn, and it's always lovely to see photos of Philip not in his boiler suit :-) You do make a very snazzy pair!
    Your Mum was truly spoiled, so it seems. Your sister's flowers are lovely and I love the look of the afternoon tea tray! xxx
