- Potting on the pixie lupins. Olly is now an accomplished gardener, needing very little help. He understands that the seedlings need to be handled with care.
- Shop bought Daffodils. I love watching the tight buds start to unfurl and flower during the course of the day.
- A gift from Mum. She saw me eyeing up this pretty trio and gave it to me before she left to go home.
- As I was filling up the kettle for my morning cup of tea, I noticed that the Iris had finally come out to say hello.
- Clematis Montana waking up again. I can hardly wait for it's beautiful floral display.
- There has been sunshine.
- Olly and his friend Archie. A play date, a plate of fruit and super hero adventures.
March is a transitional month. Officially Spring, although it may not really feel like it for several weeks yet. To us at least. I love March. Everything comes alive again. It's time to get out there and soak it all up. I just wish this rain would stop.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my last post. It's a big deal, selling up and moving on. We are not moving far. I could never leave West Cornwall. There is a magic to this place. It's got under my skin. Exciting times lay ahead. After the stress of buying, selling, packing, unpacking and persuading Alfie that catching a school bus won't psychologically damage him.
Most of our my free time has been spent getting the house in order. My camera hasn't come out to play for days. I sit down to write, but there is nothing much to tell. I have so enjoyed reading your posts though. And welcome to new followers to this blog. You are very welcome here. This topsy turvy world of mine!

I love March, too. It is a turning point in more than one way I think, with the beginning of Spring being the best! My Montana is either dead or a little behind yours. I love the romantic cup and saucers, please tell your mum she is a star! Mine is coming to visit soon.... (ever so hopeful!). I was hoping you might be tempted to move to the West of Scotland.... but of course, I would not want to leave if I lived in a place like yours, either. Lots of opportunities to meet lady friends on the school bus.... Cx
ReplyDeleteI also love March. I didn't when I lived in a colder, wetter place but it's squarely spring where I live now. Your garden is going to be beautiful as always. That little iris is so pretty. I used to have one just like it but it never blooms anymore. I think one of my children must have dug it up. I have a pink hyacinth which is just sending up its first shoots from the ground right now and I'm hoping this will be the first year my daughter lets it live; in the past, she sees the pink and wants to grab it and that's it for the flowers. Ah, children. :) I hope you're having a good day and that this is a good week for you too.
ReplyDeleteMarch looks like it is being much kinder to you than it is to us, at least so far. We got 6 inches of snow yesterday! I love the cup and plates your mum bought for you. And the flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh that trio! Takes my breath away!
