Summer Solstice Blessings Dear Friends

 

We're off to a Summer Solstice celebration this afternoon. It's being held in the orchard that once belonged to my lovely chum Linda who passed away in 2020. The couple who bought the house invited us last year as well, such a kindness. I might even feel brave enough to go inside the cottage this time.

I'll be making a headdress with flowers from our garden and I'll be wearing a tomato dress. Yes a dress covered in tomatoes! Purhased in the colder months for a snip. It will be it's first outing today.

Bright blessings to you all, enjoy your revels.

My Aunt Is Very Giddy

 Recognise this gorgeous waterfront villa? Well if you're a fan of the Tv programme The Durrells you probably will. I loved every little thing about that programme and I do believe it may be coming back to our screens in some other format soon, fingers crossed.

The villa popped up on a lovely blog I follow written by the talented Pip Lincolne. The villa is available to rent through Whitedream villas Corfu. But you may wish to sit down to hear the price. 3k-4k per night. Yikes!!!!

Back On The Market

 Hello lovely fellow bloggers. Trumpet fanfare...... our house is finally back on the market. We've had three viewings so far and all have been positive. We are awaiting the last viewees (is that a word or am I making up my own language again?) to get back to us. They have told our estate agents they will get back by Thursday afternoon, we are assuming they are viewing another house before that. Please cross everything for us.

In the meantime I have continued to declutter and yes you've guessed it bought a few more things. Nothing extravagant of course, you know me for the thrifty gal I am.

I couldn't resist this delightful butler tray table, which m'dears I obtained by swopping some charity shop purchases for it. So in fact the table cost me very little money.

I also received a little parcel of treats in the post yesterday, all very exciting.

I signed up to the Bonne Maman newsletter a while ago and they sent me an offer I couldn't refuse. This box full of delicious tiny pots of jams will be coming with us to our AirBnb when we visit Norfolk soon. Small things that make the everyday a little bit more special.
