Seasonal peek-a-boo...

My little "seasonal cabinet" in the kitchen was

yesterday given a modestly royal

and regally floral make-over...

... albeit perhaps not the most lasting of arrangements,

as most of its contents will not look perky for long...

I am very fond of this little scruffy cabinet

with its chicken wire door,

picked up at a local second-hand

shop for next to nothing.

Three tiny daisies stretching their little

necks high into the air,

greeting the world with a sunny smile.

I can almost hear their high-pitched little

voices, giggling and gossiping,

thinking we humans can't hear them...

One of my hand-made wooden "signs"

joined this little floral congregation...

'And so...

there was light, there were flowers,

and all was well in the Swenglish house'...

Wishing you all a week filled with flowers,

light and some soul-fuelling sun!

Ps. For those of you living in suspense

about yesterday's frog "outcome",

I can reveal that my lips are still dry...

A sucker for romance...

Yes, I admit it, I am a softy, a sucker for romance. We were away over the weekend, so late, late, last night, I quietly but gratefully applauded modern technology and watched bits of the Swedish royal wedding on-line.

And indeed, it did feel like the air was scented with love, and many were we - as far as I can tell by the few blogs I have had time to catch up with - who went all gooey and soft inside...

So today, just like so many girls before me, I put on my own "princess" outfit, i e my blousy-dress-type top from Swedish KappAhl, and picked some more flowers in our garden, just in case...

If you don't hear from me for a few days, you might find me by our pond, lips pouting...

... frog spotting...!
