It's finally warm enough to use my clothesline again, there has been much rejoicing about that fresh smell and lovely crispy texture to the linens.

I shouldn't buy wine based on pretty labels but I do it. Apparently this was a delicious red, I think I'll buy it again based on the label alone:
We broke the Emma Bridgewater penguin mug. Everyone was upset about it. We've turned that misfortune into an opportunity:

I caught these two lemons having a quiet kiss on the windowsill.

Please tell me you've watched the Two Fat Ladies!
I read Clarissa Dickson Wright's excellent book
Spilling The Beans and I loved it. The second I put it down I ordered up the Two Fat Ladies television series.
It's not just that it's funny and brings us to all corners of England, there are also some really excellent recipes to be had. I can't believe I had never viewed it before.
My spring cupboard is looking minimal with bits of bright saturated colour:

| JCrew silk twill blouse 2007. |

JCrew sweater coat in golden yellow, 2007.
JCrew blouse "Sanibel", also 2007. |
The thing about the golden yellow sweater coat is that I owned this before in black and I gave it to a friend who loved it. I loved it too but I also liked the golden version... I have finally found it on ebay and it's quite the swingy sunny wonder.
I do appreciate shades of apricot and yellow, how about you?

I've had an interest lately in lemon soap:

What do you think about strategically placed teddy bears?
I think they are a nice surprise. I find they look like little soldiers in among the Liberty print cushions.
Are you busy these days? I'll tell you what we're up to: travelling across the country to see the new light of our life, our baby nephew. It's true. That kid brother of mine finally had a baby and there is much joy in the family. I hope to be back with a colour story before we jet off, it will involve yellow, blue, green, and happy prints... !
Be well and have fun,
