Summer floral

It has been hot and clammy here for some time now, and the summer flowers are out in all their glory. These are from my favourite walking area that is just on our doorstep, Charlcombe Valley. I will miss it...

Into the woods

Just back from Norway after a wonderful week. We went to my little sisters 'confirmation' and as any Norwegian can verify that entails the following: Beautiful national costumes, smoked and cured fish, cold sliced meats and lots, and lots of cake! We did however find time to enjoy some of the stunning scenery as well. Deep forests and high peaks. Bliss.

Decorating with Christmas greens

Nothing spreads the Christmas cheer like decorating with greenery. In my house Hyacinths and Amaryllis where Christmas staples, and the smell of a real tree can't be beaten. Here are some lovely ways to use natural materials in your Christmas decorations. I love this star wreath, and the ice lanterns are just magical.

Don't you just love the simplicity of this? Natural materials with hints of gold and blue makes for lovely, tranquil Christmas decorations.

Winter walk

I am currently in the valleys of Norway enjoying the beautiful winter weather. Cold and crisp, with a layer of frost covering everything. Here are some images from the walk today.
