Happy Spring Day

I have had such a fun day today, the sun is shining, the temperatures are rising and the rain has stopped.  My dear Father has had a trip out for the first time since before Christmas, it was a joy to behold to see him looking so well and enjoying the great outdoors.  We went to the Woodthorpe Garden Centre, always a nice place to get some inspiration. 

 

We did smile at some of the ornaments on display, you really would have to have a large garden for them to fit.

 

I loved the elephant, there was something about it that drew your eye but not very realistic for my little plot.  We certainly had a fun time looking around.

 

 

We had a lovely lunch in the restaurant and enjoyed watching Dad eat something other than the soups I have been making for him.

 

 

The homemade coleslaw hiding behind the chicken breast in a bun was beautiful, the portions were a little large so I couldn't manage desert but it didn't stop my sweet Husband and Mum, they both got stuck in.

 

 

We got lucky with some sale priced plants too, so all in all a good trip out.

 

 

I have also had some fun in the craft room making some hair bobbles for the girls ready for their trip to Disneyland in the summer.  I covered some buttons with Mickey Mouse fabric, to make a simple but effective hair adornment.

 

 

I have also made a start making a couple of headbands for them ready for the Christmas period using some green fleece fabric and buttons.

 

 

A great day, I am going to put my feet up for half an hour and then attend to those bargain plants that I have just bought.  It doesn't take a lot for me to have a good day I really do enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

 

See you soon.
