Calming hues of blue...

This country is bathing in lavender at the moment. They come in many shapes and many shades of purple-y, blue-y lilac, but all with the same scent of summer, a sensual feast for the nose, with whispers of Mediterranean fields of tranquility...

Except we are not in the south of France...

... and not many tranquil fields in sight...

... only a few pots on the steps up to the first section of the rather tired garden. The lawn still has not forgiven us for dumping all the building material there last year, during several months of building work..., the "motorway" running through the middle of the garden, which we vowed to get rid of when we moved in, but then noticed our boys learned how to ride their bikes on..., the small garden light still awaiting a proper positioning after the building work ended...etc. But one day, one day this will be a garden fit for a horticultural queen.

I have a dream...

I know I have said before that I would slow down a little, not post new entries every day... only to fail that mission completely and find myself here as regularly as ever. Second attempt starts now, a wind-down towards the summer holiday, a window-opener for the many unfinished craft projects that have had to ride in the back seat for a while, while the blog has been manning the steering wheel. So here we go, Fewer and Farther Between, scene 2, take 2. See you all soon. Just not immediately...
