These flowers smell amazing and are so sweet, each head has many mini flowers in it and each little one is perfect.  I know the exact variety because  my organised Dad left the label on and it’s still there after many years.

These flowers are so welcome when the rest of the garden is still coming to life.  We have two in our garden, a friend of mine has a whole hedge of it that looks stunning when it is in bloom.

The tiler has been and the upstairs bathroom floor now has orange tiles.  The grouting in the downstairs bathroom is finished – I think it looks  brilliant.  Nobody else was here today so I’m afraid there’s nothing else to report from the works.

Things are slowing down a bit and I feel the onus is one us to get busy now.  We had a look at carpets at the weekend and I must confess to feeling rather underwhelmed by the choice.  There are 100’s of colours if you fancy beige, fawn, biscuit or cream.  None of them are what we are looking for.  We did take a couple of samples but I’m not convinced by those either.  It’s going to be there for a really long time so it is crucial that we actually like the carpet we choose.

At last we are getting some flowers in the pots and some daffies in the garden.  The daisies are amazing, they have been there for ever and are the most cheery welcome to the house imaginable.  They are looking fabulous at the moment with loads of flowers and more to come.  Thought you’d like to see them too.
