A bit of self-indulgence

I spent a happy weekend at David's in Somerset. Spring has sprung

This is the garden of the empty house across the lane- irresistible!

 and as a treat to myself for spring cleaning his garden, I picked this lovely posy-


Wandering around a garden snipping a bloom here and there, makes me unbelievably happy. I think David is a little bemused by my ecstatic response to a bundle of flowers. As he admits- " it doesn't quite do it for me"- darling man!


Whereas I can gaze and gaze again and feel I can never get enough of the delicacy, colour and perfume.





My room is lit up by their beauty and looking at flowers is one of the best ways of praying I know.
I did also pick a little bunch of violets and primroses, found nestling in a corner of the garden...


I do wish you could have shared with me their wonderful scent in the Spring sunshine.
