Something for the weekend

Welcome bloggers and thanks for stopping by.


Thank you for your lovely comments on my last post and a warm welcome to new followers...

We're all so excited because buds have started to appear in gardens, and on trees, in parks and along winding country roads and you all know

I LOVE COLOUR IN INTERIORS

 and I always post pics of colourful blooms ...

but I have a confession to make....

I love white flowers and I love blue flowers. 

 Period.

My favourite white and blue blooms have to be Hyacinths for their heady scent and intricate flower head, and then white roses.

I have no idea why I just like white and blue...perhaps it's because I used to have a entire front garden full of white iceberg roses, and I found the white very calming and the smell was so intoxicating in the heat of the South African sun, and my garden path which was lined with fragrant lavender....

and Lavender is so versatile, it smells divine, it keeps away mosquitoes (did you know that?)

Dried, it makes the most delicious biscuits and can be used in cakes as well.

or as filling in fabric hearts to hang in wardrobes to give your linen a lovely fresh smell.

(and no this is not my garden)

But this is slowly changing.

After watching Sarah Raven's programmes on TV,

I am being drawn to more colourful blooms.
