I have been away from blogging - about a week ago the sun came out at last and it has been such treat to be outside.
There is some more colour coming through in the garden, a month late, but at last!
When we moved to this house, we planted a white lilac bush in the front garden; this year it is really wonderful and now in the sun, it has the most beautiful scent.
The buds start dusty pink and then open up into pinky white.
And this is the home of our resident hedgehog at the bottom of the garden;
he used to live next door, but last year wasps made their nest in his house and evicted him.
My husband has made him a new house in our garden
and the hedgehog moved in at the start of the winter.
Together with our neighbours we all made openings at the bottom of our fences,
so he can roam from garden to garden.
And yes, some sewing too:
To avoid the monotony of applique leaves, I rescued little forgotten Awakening quilt
(which I call now "The Funky Angels")
and made another large block.
These angels definitivy have fashion sense of their own......
I have just finished reading this wonderful book,
author's first novel - how do they do it?
I recommend it.
