I was whisked off for a lovely weekend away with my man for a significant birthday that I celebrated in March. We went to Lyme Regis on the south coast of England and stayed inland in a small rural village. It was absolutely delightful. We visited Montacute House in Somerset which is just stunning. It featured in the film of Sense and Sensibility (the one with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet).
These were the flowers in the room when I arrived (that Mr. Lovely had arranged for me!):
When we returned I was thrown a family birthday party and they invited some interesting guests...
:)
Mum and my step-Dad keep chickens and these are their latest additions:
So cute!!! They're a real motley crew of all sorts, this one at the front has been called Spike (from the Gremlins with the bleached blonde tufty hair!).
For my birthday my partner's brother and his wife bought me a bird box and a bird table and they are already in full use. In fact we already have tenants in the bird box and they've even started a family already! Hopefully I'll have pics of the little babies soon :)
The weather has been wonderful of late and the wisteria in full bloom was just beautiful:
We've already had a number of barbecues and we look forward to many more as the summer approaches :)
I hope to be back soon with more pictures, including my main birthday present from Mr. Lovely and a very useful crafty investment from my Mum!
Until next time,
Toodlepip!
