Sniff, Sniff, Atishoo ...

... Bleurgh!!!

Half term week has been one long yucky stinky pooey cold.

It started with blondie son then hopped across to blondie daughter, she kindly shared it with me and now handsome hubby has a sore throat.


Note - the glass contains red wine and not echinacea which should, of course, be taken in moderation!!

We couldn't not do pancakes on Tuesday though ...


Neither could we avoid the snow ...


Flowers always cheer me up ...


... so does spending an afternoon playing with paints, with blondie daughter ...


My Mum bought us some hyacinths last weekend for our anniversary and they were just about to burst into flower ...


Blondie daughter preferred doing a still life ...


We had a little birthday lunch for Mum in the week ...


I've been dying to show you the card we bought her ...


Just brilliant!  Does it strike a chord with any of you?!  One day I'll tell you about the coat I bought off eBay which turned up in a black bag and had clearly been involved in some sort of fire ..!

Off to blow my nose again and fetch blondie son from ANOTHER party.

Keep smiling.

    Love your paintings - you've kept that talent hidden so far!

  6. hope you're all on the mend soon :) my fave remedy is fresh root ginger, fresh lemon and honey, steeped in a cup of boiled water - tastes delish.
