I just can't get my self to start watching this season, because I would have to binge watch and am too busy. It is lovely to watch tv that doesn't rely on gore , costuming, or tricks.<br />Hope your writing is going well!Pat Olskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122299121164106652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-82880748352589955082015-05-09T11:49:01.172-03:002015-05-09T11:49:01.172-03:00Congratulations Teacups!

That lemon drizzle cake looks the business - I always think of the 80's when I see edible flowers. My mum used to do a good line in crystallised flowers which she'd put on top of her fancy desserts for dinner parties. She'd use garden flowers though - rose petals and violas and pansies. <br />Looking at your garden - still with snow!! - I just can't imagine how you can go so long without seeing greenery. I am watching all the leaves falling down at the moment, and while the branches are bare, at least we still have shrubs and lawn to look at. Hellebores are Winter flowers here, so I am watching mine as it won't be long before I get a few blooms on my bushes, along with the camellias. <br />Haven't watched call the midwife in a long time, but I think I might give it a whirl now that we have Netflix as I can watch it all at once. xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-2789487305641033132015-05-05T04:09:33.940-03:002015-05-05T04:09:33.940-03:00I cannot believe you still have snow left in your ...I cannot believe you still have snow left in your garden.

Our lovely neighbours Jen and Dave had the first two seasons on disc and gave them to us, it's so good and now we have episodes to catch up, always a happy situation. I love the character Chummy, she's so funny, I looked it up when we watched it and I think the actress is actually a comedian in real life. Very kind of you indeed to compare my style with that young lady character as she is stunning and also about 100 years younger than me. <br />Yes May is such a nice month to have a baby, as you know my young rascal now a complete teenager was born in May. She was a beautiful baby just like the gorgeous Princess Charlotte, I'm crazy for the name.<br />The snow, it's too much, you've been brave through this long long winter that's for certain and I'm guessing you'll be out all the time now that we can. I hope your pool is fixed straightaway, the damage is unbelievable!<br />You have good friends on Saturday nights which is the KEY to a happy life, but I'm preaching to the choir now I know. xox DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-57913837377831907002015-05-04T20:42:14.534-03:002015-05-04T20:42:14.534-03:00I read Willa Cather's books , a couple of them...I read Willa Cather's books , a couple of them a few years ago, but we did stay in the cottage on Grand Manan for a night where she wrote these books.
