So April was warm and sunny and made us think that summer was on the way. But May has been flippin' freezing so far! Had my flip flops all poised and ready but nope it's back to trainers and boots!

I love this photo because it looks so blissful. It would be nice if the weather was nice enough to sit outside and chill out even if it meant wearing an extra layer. And how perfect it would be to spend an afternoon sat by the sea with a good book in hand. Saying that though, I doubt I'll get any kind of afternoon free to spend with a book any time soon, by the seaside or otherwise! Perhaps I'll make do with an afternoon at the beach with my daughter throwing pebbles into the sea. I'd say that was pretty blissful too.

'tulips framed' by penwren

You may remember in a previous blog post that I was talking about how tulips used to be red. Read it here if you haven't seen it already and want to know what on earth I am going on about! Well anyway, today I came across this gorgeous photo which totally describes what tulips looked like to me when I was a child! Big, bright, bold and red! This is what comes into my head when I think of tulips.

I like this photo because of the great flowers but also because of the frame the door makes. It's like taking an illicit peek through the window and catching a glimpse of someone's gorgeous home. And a simple thing but I just love the table cloth!
