Strolling along the top path to the woods
Smelling the intoxicating fresh scent of abundant wild garlic
Sitting a while by the still pool for a rest and a mid morning snack
Socialising in my favourite cafe with two gorgeous hooky gals (Heather and Jacquie)
Shopping for some handmade scented soap
Stripes (in complete love with them)
Skipping through the pages of June issue magazines, dreaming of summertime
Slow roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic, rosemary and red onion (mmmm)
Sneaking a little bit of a rest in between cooking dinner duties
Smiling at Little B's bedroom windowsill playtime
Sky gazing whilst folding, sniffing and sorting clean laundry
Snuggling my gorgeous Little B all warm and soap-scented from the bath
Sofa time with J...Little Peeps in bed, a cosy fire, pyjamas on, hot cup of tea and a film
♥
Strolling, Smelling, Sitting, Socialising, Shopping, Striping, Skipping, Slow-roasting, Sneaking, Smiling, Sky-gazing, Snuggling, Sofa-loafing.
A happy day of Simple pleasures, my heart is full of gratitude.

I love the pic of little B's toes! So cute!

I love everything you do! I would really like to know where you get your wool from? I live in London and don't have any good wool shops near me! Any advice welcome! ;)

It's a YES for the S's!! A great collection of pics, especially Little B's dinosaur and bus. Imagine that from the driver's perspective!!!

Those slow-roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic look amazing!!!! I Must say... you're post ws full of color (as usual) and it made my dreary day that much brighter!! I am less into the hooky projects right now and I'm onto sewing... Sigh.
