We're back, after a most relaxing, enjoyable holiday. It was perfect. I've absolutely fell in love with North Yorkshire, wish I'd gone years ago. I've taken hundreds of photos...so that's Brighton, and Yorkshire to sort now!
I'm back to a garden that's full of produce, but also starting to 'go over'. Autumn feels very close. Chutneys are on the agenda this week. It's our last full week together, before we start to get back into school mode. I'm going to make the most of this next ten days with my girls.
We've put the sofa into the garden studio, so I can create a bit, and snooze a bit too. I've tried to do a bit of sewing on my small blue Formica table but it just feels too restricting, so it's a trip to IKEA I think, for a larger trestle table. And from my vantage point, sat on that comfy sofa, I'll be needing a bird table. I image many an hour will be spent birdwatching!
Fingers crossed I will get my act together, I've so much to show you. Thank you all for your comments, I had no access to my blog whilst I was away, so I've only just read through them. Yes, four had fun in Yorkshire!

Minnie's glad we're back, she's surveyed her patch, had a good sniff at who's been trespassing, and then slept all afternoon! :) xxx

DeleteLovely images dear Amanda, is that your beautiful fireplace? I love the sofa in the studio and the view you have. IKEA is one of my favourite places, hope you find a nice table. Gorgeous picture of Minnie, glad you had a lovely holiday, enjoy the time with your girls and making use of that wonderful produce.
ReplyDeleteHappy week!

Thank you Dianne, the sofa in the studio was a must...I always need a comfortable spot to sit! :) xxx
DeleteSounds like lots to look forward to, I love your garden xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl, got plans for improvements next year! :) xxx
DeleteGlad you had a wonderful time in Yorkshire, it's a very beautiful part of the world. The garden always goes a bit mad when you're away at this time of year I find, it's hard to keep up with all of the produce. I shall look forward to seeing your larger table, it looks like such a lovely place to create (and to watch birds). Wishing you a good week. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteFar too much has gone to seed, so I definately need to be planting less, but more often. Bit of a learning curve for me! :) xxx
Deletegood to see the garden produce is coming along so well tomatoes look delicious. The holiday was a big success and think the weather was not too bad for you all.
ReplyDeleteHave a good visit to Ikea. I went last week and only spent £3 just love to browse and get ideas
The tomatoes are just turning...need a few more sunny days! Well done on your IKEA visit too! :) xxx
DeleteBrighton and N. Yorks, where I live. My two favourite places. Can't wait to see the photos!

Very much so, especially today, grey and wet...but think of those colours! ;) xxx
DeleteYour Summerhouse sounds amazing, a bird table would be great :-) x
ReplyDeleteThink I might get one this week...get the birds used to it before winter! :) xxx
DeleteHello Amanda. Welcome back. Always nice with a break but there is no place like home. I have not managed to publish a single blog post yet, just catching up with home and garden. But it will come. School started today and in a finger snap we are all back into routine. ENjoy your treasured studio. I have crazy studio envy... :)
