Beauty In The Ordinary Day

There’s beauty in the ordinary which in turn makes it extraordinary and I’m so very glad I see the world differently . It’s wonderful to be out and had have the joy of exploring again .



















Wirksworth is a lovely gem of a place in the Derbyshire Dales and you’ll fall in love with all the nooks and crannies of the beckoning adventures of the streets, lanes and countryside on the fringes.

April Is Full Of Freshness

April is full of freshness especially if you’re wearing a loose weave jumper and no month offers more hope than April.A garden is always a work in progress and my garden is no different , for the last few days I’ve pottered around in it .I sown seeds I’ve been given of which I’m very grateful. 

The previously rickety rockery is taking place after all these years , it needs some alpine grit or some such cover.



April offers still the dappled blossom on the trees as they make way for the leaves.




And there’s no greater inspiration than the great outdoor s and today I went along with my husband to the site of a old colliery.The colliery is called the New Lount colliery and there’s so much to see do definitely warrants another visit.

Why Oh Why Did People Ever Put Carpets In Their Bathrooms ?

 Hello out there !


Long time no blog so I thought I would drop a line or 2 and say I will be blogging more frequently ! I am going to aim for blogging once a day !



Today's thoughts are "Whoever thought bathrooms in bathrooms was ever a good idea ?"



 I have had someone come to put lino down in my ensuite and I have to admit it has taken years and for my sins a carpet has been in my ensuite.It was just one of those decorating and home furnishing jobs that we just got round to and yes we still don't have a light shade in the ensuite either and no I don't know why?


Lockdown has accelerated a few jobs and then at the same time slowed down others , I have got to go back and chase kitchen fitting quotes again .As now the old kitchen is now the bane of my life mocking me at every turn with its fake peeling wood effect covering , I think Stonehenge is newer than my kitchen though I would not be shocked if a bunch of Druids started worshipping in my kitchen as it would just be my luck that my kitchen was built on a sacrificial site probably to Marmite.
