Turkish treasures and trusty tulips...

How I have longed for you...

...with your squeeky freshness and colourful little faces...

Welcome tulips, YOU are SPRING to me!

Resting here in one of the Turkish wooden bowls from my trip last week,

looking...well good enough to eat! 

Behind the summer hat I dream of wearing one day 

(when I have shrunk my head enough for it not to look 

such a laughing matter squashed into a hat),

nestles a small cushion also found in Ankara...

Wishing you a spring-scented and altogether spectacular week!

Ps. Thank you for all your kind words about my photos from Turkey. 

What is it about scruffy old doors, I wonder, that 

make so many of us go weak at the knees....?
