Secrets of a Butterfly

Sweet peas,Savannah & an Angel

My favourite flowers (roses excepted) are sweetpeas, their sent and delicate colours are what capture me and i cannot help but wish that they were avaliable all year, but then perhaps their limited time makes them that bit more special. Here are some in the garden i wanted to show you wish i could send you their scent too.... and a close up their are some other colours growing up canes too but these are a different variety to what my dad usually grows and they are in a basket.

This is a feature on Savannah Miller in Elle magazine talking about her new clothing line with her sister Twenty8twelve isnt she beautiful  and i love the vase of flowers. she has lots of interesting trinkets and clothes in her wardrobe and many passed onto her from her little sis how lucky is that. She lives a very different life to Sienna though as she is married with a little boy.here's a pretty necklace they showed, that sienna gave her on her wedding day.... Lastly i wanted to include a photo i took the other week as we drove passed The Angel of the North a huge steel structure of an angel that is a favourite of the people here,by artist Anthony Gormley.

Summer clothes

Its summer! yes i've waited a few days to be sure but it seems the sun is here to stay at least for a little while. I have to admit i had resorted to packing away some of my white clothes and lightweight dresses a few weeks ago and somehow can't bring myself to get them all back out again so i'm wearing what there is to hand. Leggings come in so handy of an evening when it turns chilly and you still want to keep the dress on that you've spent the day in. Yesterday my la redoute parcel arrived with a Paul & Joe dress from the sale which proved very handy as it was very hot and this was a cool cotton to wear in the garden. it was a really good price and i love the swans along the bottom. My favourite top this year came from them too and is also now in the sale.  I love peachy pink and its not often you see things in that colour. If they do peach tops it tends to be a very deep colour. Anyway here's the top its by Maje. La redoute are a great catalog as they have such a mix, something for everyone and even specials with french designers like Paul and joe and Manoush. The new Autum winter catalog is out but as yet it feels too early to be buying wool things and darker colours.We need to make the most of this sunshine in ways that we can, first.XXX

The bunnies go on an adventure

Well, the day before yesterday was an eventful morning. I had just woken up when mam came hurriedly in to say that she'd found one of the doors of the rabbit's hutch wide open,and no rabbits in sight. A sheet of hard plastic we had on the upstairs to shield them from rain, had fallen off hitting the lower door's catch directly beneath it and causing that door to come open,hence the rabbits decided to venture outside! It was a worry since there are a few cats about and also we just had no idea of quite how far they would get. streets away went through our mind at one point! oh no, anyway i glanced down from my bedroom window only to spot whisper in next doors garden! by the time i was down into ours she'd come through the hole under the fence and i somehow grabbed her from behind one of the flower tubs and dropped her into the run on the lawn. So that just left Jasper and low and behold he was running about in nhext door's garden too. Mam went round and i stayed by the hole as we have a key for next door but once there she couldnt find their back door key. I watched over the tall fence as jasper quite cheekily was right outside their back door while mam was on the other side and then had a good look around going behind the hut at the top of their garden and i was worrying he'd go from there into the gardens across the back. But no, out he popped again, looking up at me watching him and preceeded back down the lawn again. I must admit i felt partly happy they'd had such a good explore. We do hope to get our garden a bit safer and sealed off at some point and once they are older they can be out more around it ,as long as someone is in the vacinity. But in the meantime the run is huge and gives them plenty space.

So to finish the tale, dad was out on a job from work and was able to call past and get over the fence. Jasper didnt go in the carrier but came back through and i was able to pick him up from the same spot as Whisper. Much relieved we then returned to the sofa to fully wake up and have a cuppa! what a morning it was.No photos of the great adventure on next doors lawn my head wasnt really thinking of taking photos at the time,but I took one over the weekend of the two of them dozing together so here it is...Jasper is saying what a handy pillow whisper makes
