Delight #1 :: the colour of the sky.
It's been a gloriously sunny day here today, still very cold though but cold is good, cos cold means I get to wear my scarf. Big smiley face.
Delight #2 :: my window crystals making rainbows on the carpet.
Little B was fascinated by them, he spent ages trying to pick them up (aawwww)
Delight #3 :: a jug of very pretty daffies on the mantle.
These lovely flowers were £2 from the supermarket, they are heavily scented and smell beautiful.
Delight #4 :: grape hyacinths in flower.
Remember the broken jug I planted with muscari bulbs? They are now in bloom on the windowsill, the flowers are very delicate and sweet and endearing, I love them.
Delight #5 :: mini party rings.
Discovering these in the supermarket today, I couldn't resist buying them as a treat for the Little People. Do biscuits come any cuter than these do you think?
Delight #6 :: Girly buns.
I made these yesterday and enjoyed one this afternoon with a cup of tea. I think I will sprinkle edible "disco glitter" on every item I bake from now on.
Delight #7 :: playing with Little B.
Taking it in turns to do "round and round the garden" with each other, it was a truly magic little moment of my day.
Delight #8 :: admiring my teeny hooky hearts.
These are the product of yesterdays knit-and-natter at the cafe. I've got a pretty springtime project in mind which I'll be sharing next week along with the heart pattern.
Delight #9 :: Little B enjoying a bookish moment.
I walked in the room to find LB sitting quietly in his very own corner where he keeps his books. There's a small antique footstool there which he perches on when he wants to look at his books, it's always very lovely to witness.
Delight #10 :: ice cold rose wine.
I enjoyed a sneaky little tot of wine in the kitchen whilst I prepared dinner (warm chicken and noodle salad).
Delight #11 :: watching the moon rise.
A beautiful, bright full moon in the sky tonight, rising up over the hills and town.
Delight #12 :: cosy fireside evening.
A clear sky and a chill in the air, it's a nippy cold night tonight. Came down just now from putting Little B to bed and sorting out laundry to find that J had lit the fire. Lovely! Am about to go and make toast and jam and mugs of warm milk for the Little People and settle myself down for a cosy evening.
I've enjoyed a beautifully simple, ordinary, delightful day today. I feel so blessed and I am truly thankful for all that I have. Hope you also found some little delights in your day to make your heart glad ♥

We had a moon like that last night too, over the other side of the world, it's such a pleasure to see!! Your little hearts look so soft and bright.
I can also remember my boys when they were little trying to catch the crystal rainbows, thanks for the memory.

I have some of number ten too, in the same glass. Nothing like a Friday glass while you get dinner ready is there?
Gorgeous snap of Little B playing round and round the garden. Wonder if my 14 year old wants to play...

Nothing beats Daffs this time of year- we got some 'reduced to clear' last week and they are still going strong- 3 different varieties and the perfume is gorgeous.99p well spent...
We have a big full moon in a clear sky here too tonight, chilly!
Saw some of that Andes yarn today, gave it a good feel, really is lovely stuff.
