So, you may have heard that it has been very cold here, (compared to normal for us at least) in the uk. By day two of the snow I was feeling pretty impressed that I'd got the hang of the layering business and was feeling pretty toasty as I trudged out in the snow, but by that point I'd also caught a cold. I don't tend to pay much attention to these things and assume if I don't pay too much attention it will just go away, but this one has decided to stay for a bit. Today that has meant a lot of admin tasks have been completed as I haven't really had the concentration for much else. There is a lot of nose blowing, sore skin and pathetic coughing going on. I had managed to avoid all colds over winter until this point, whilst people spluttered around me, so I was pretty happy that I had somehow managed to escape all that, but eventually one came. On a positive note it has meant a lot of sofa sitting with my feet up and plenty of hot drinks :). Tomorrow I'm hoping I can be in for a day of painting as I think a good nights rest is in order with a good supply of olbas oil to hand!
On another note a couple of weekends ago the weather was still cold but gloriously sunny and I spent a Saturday out in London. I had guests visiting and one of the places we visited was the Foundling Museum where we saw The Lost Words which was full of glorious illustrations of uk wildlife.
We also popped into the British Museum always worth a visit, (we spent a while looking for Lindow man!)
I love the colours and shapes in this Grayson Perry vase.
Finally, just incase we forgot in amongst all this snow it is now officially spring in this part of the world! hooray! So here's a few springy flowers from the garden which will be back shortly! It's always immensely exciting to see these pop up :).
I hope you have a lovely warm (or snowjoyable) weekend, wherever you are :).
