Sorry about my lengthy absence, it's been a frantic month! My partner and I have moved into our new (first) house, and i've been busy making it gorgeous, which has been a task and a half! The garden hasn't been touched for a long time, which means that it's a grass jungle, which is in places up to your chest! I'm finally taming it, with the help of my partner, who has just found out that he rather likes gardening (or at least weeding, he doesn't know which plants are weeds and which plants aren't, which i'm teaching him!).
I have included my own visual representation of the garden (so it's not very accurate hehe)


The back bedroom / study, which was once a childs bedroom, had been painted bright purple and yellow, is now a tasteful white - which i have grand plans for! I have always known the colour theme for this room, which will be mainly cream, and above the picture rails (the joys of living in an old house!) will be a sumptuous green. I had been shopping a month or so before we moved in, and found the most gorgeous curtain material. It's an old chintz, with big full blossoms of rose etc. It's heavenly :-)

Now, after my mad morning of manic gardening, i'm off for a nap, and a read... Perfection :-)
