Water Lillies

After the wonderful weather we have had this weekend, it has encouraged the water Lillies on our pond to start to blossom, here is a picture of one that has come out today and on further investigation there are a lot more to follow. I am off now to do some baking, I need to stock up my freezer with goodies so that when I am ready to do any icing/cake decorating the cakes are all ready and I just have to defrost them beforehand. I have also found my recipes that I used last year for chutney and I have also found the one I kept for the mince pie filling. I am hoping I can sell one or two and boost up my craft fund as I want to own the new Cricut Cake that is already out in America, it will certainly help me with my quest to have a small business amongst friends.

See you all soon. x

Our Garden

Our garden is finally getting some colour, although it is still very wild and jungle looking, but we enjoy being out in it and it mostly looks after itself. Here are a few of the potted ones we have done. I also have a few bushes that blossom such as a white jasmine and an orange blossom bush which is nestling in amongst the other plants. They both give off the most beautiful scent in the early to late evening. It's lovely sitting out on a warm night. There is also a view of the bottom of our garden where we have a pond and small waterfall, the water lilies on this are just starting to bud so I hope to have some photos of that soon. The other side of the garden has a broad leaf bamboo and acer bush.

Finally a couple of pictures of our Australis, we thought we had lost this with the bad winter but look what's growing at the bottom of one of the trunks.
