Colour in the Garden

Have just been out in the garden as the weather is so glorious, thought I would take a couple of pictures of some of the flowering plants we have. Our garden is predominantly evergreen so does not always have a lot of colour. I am slowly persuading Kevin to introduce some colour so we have compromised and got some evergreen plants that flower as well, here are a couple, we also have some jasmine but they haven't come out yet.

Kitchen Update

We are still working hard on our kitchen,we still need to do a little decorating but over the last few weeks we have ventured out to look and buy some accessories for the kitchen. One of the things we wanted was an egg holder, we couldn't agree on one however Kevin has been working on one of the sites the company we work for is building on in Garstang so has got to know the area a little bit and we took a trip up there and found a lovely shop and came home with a couple of things. I saw what was labelled as a bird bath in the shop but have looked at it thought it so cute that I thought it would make a great egg holder. We were both in agreement when I suggested it and here it is on my worktop. We also found a memo board but have hung it as a picture because we like the look of it and think it goes well on the white tiles. The Gecko above the wall we have had for some time but think it looks great above the door. We also bought something else which we have put above the door in the hall the hall is our next project but we thought we would put this up anyway. The lady in the shop said is was used for putting notes or photos on but I like it just the way it is on the white background. The kitchen is working fully now so will be getting back to my baking although after finishing the baby shawl I am going to try and get round to making a few things for myself. I also have a salt lap which was given to me by one of my brothers and it looks lovely lit up at night with just that on it makes the kitchen look really warm and snug. Well that's my update for now I need to go and do some housework.
