Hyacinths

My Hyacinths are starting to colour up nicely. It's the first time I have tried growing them. I wonder if the bulbs could be dried out and reused next year? They look rather stumpy though lol

Flowers, wine and chocolate

I was very lucky today to receive this lovely bouquet of flowers, wine and chocolate from Sarah's dad, to say thank you for looking after Sarah in her hour of need. They really are very beautiful.

Sarah went to the funeral yesterday and she was very brave. Things are looking more positive for her as she has a new flat to move into. The landlord is in there decorating it so her and Ben should be able to move in within the next couple of weeks or so. It will be great for her and her two little children. Sarah has asked me to be her surrogate mum even if she splits up with Ben. She has no other female relative in her life other than her younger sister. I have six children already so what's one more? lol

Flowers

This bunch of flowers is what Him Indoors presented me with when he got home today. First thing I said to him was, 'what have you done?' lol and he replied 'nothing'. Then I said 'oh, you saying sorry to what you did to my poor doggy then' and he gave a sheepish grin, so I took that as a 'yes' then hehehe. Love the blue ones!
