SWAP`S HERE!

What a very lucky `Swappee` I am - my parcel arrived and what an absolute delight it was opening up everything inside it. Betty, my swap partner, certainly knows how to treat a person! I can`t thank her enough for her kindness and generosity and I hope her other swappees who she`s involved with are as kind and thoughtful to her........so, here`s what I got...... (sorry for the poor quality of pics - my `best` camera`s gone walkabouts - could only find my little cheapie to do the job)

Fabulous selection of things which are `Good Enough to Eat` - yum,yum!

My New Best Strawberry Silk Print!

Pretty In Pink

Since the birth of my beautiful grandaughter last year, I`ve developed a real obsession with the colour pink! As opposed to when my boys were small and everything had to be in varying shades of blue! I`ve even extended the penchant to buying a `Barbie` pink swing bin for the kitchen, no less.

Anyway, here are some of the pink peonies from last year`s pickings from my garden. I planted a paler pink one last autumn and it`s budding beautifully now - can`t wait until it`s in full bloom later on. I love my peony roses in all shapes and sizes, they`re so big and blousy and great bloomers - bit like their owner! It`s a great time of year to be outdoors but even if you`re not lucky enough to have a garden, you can still grown all sorts of things on your windowsill in any kind of container - you don`t need to rush out and buy expensive plastic pots either. Recycle all your used yoghurt pots and sew your tomato seeds in them to start with before you transplant them to their bigger pots which they`ll need once they really get going. I`ve just sewn my runner beans in cardboard egg boxes which make great plugs for seedlings and which can then be plonked in their bigger pots where they`ll grow and grow and wind themselves around anything (I use a wicker obelisk) they can get a grip of, producing pretty little flowers before the big fat beans come along for harvesting. Broad beans are great for this too and don`t forget your Sweet Peas - I love their pastel colours and the flowers are so attractive.  Enjoy!
