Tulips

My pretty tulips for Mothers’ Day.  Mother’s Day is bittersweet for me since losing my Mum.  The excessive marketing that goes with it is quite overwhelming at times.  I wish the marketeers would consider those of who have lost our Mums and those who long to be one.

Week Three.  Joining in the ‘nature in the home’ series with Lou at little green shed

Day Thirty-One The Stairs

The stairs are here, we can go up and we can go down.  They look amazing.  A big day our old bungalow.  Here they are without further ado.

Day Thirty

We have a stair space, it appeared while I was at work. The ensuite as we knew it has gone too and the new one looks a great size and shape. I’m glad I missed the actual demolition of the wall and old entrance to the bathroom, bet it was pretty messy judging by the settling dust.  All the mess has gone but we all know that dust takes a while to settle, literally.

Other Stuff

Saturday was really wet in the morning.  It got better though and by mid afternoon we took the bold step of opening the garden room door which can only mean one thing… spring.  Check out those tulips for evidence of spring.

Unfortunately, in true Edinburgh fashion, spring did not last long. It snowed a bit yesterday and lots today so it’s back to this. The garden door is well and truly bolted again til the next sunny day.

Buddy, the P1A class teddy, had a good weekend, we didn’t match Tom Daley but he did go to the rugby.

The girls made use of the boardwalk in the hall too with an indoor hopscotch competition.

It’s due to be supercold overnight tonight, hot water bottles and beanies at the ready since we have two big holes in the front and back of the house.  Lucky we have lots of downies and blankets too, we’ll be fine.
