Bluebells in April

This weeks challenge is April, and I know it's April when

the Bluebells start to flower in my garden -

not the delicate, sweet-scented, wild ones but the big, brash
 and intrusive Spanish Bluebells that take over the garden!

Every so often there is a white one or a pale pink one, which I like better.

  Here are the first bluebells of the year.

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home for this weeks challenge.
Spring is here and it's all change.
Summer decorations are out - blue and white china, cream and coral coloured books, shells, coral, vintage glass and my great grandmothers pretty floral china.  

 I have been enjoying the change of scenery while in lock down!

Hope you are all staying safe and well.

Pastels, Paints and Positive Thinking

Positive thinking for this weeks challenge.

With social distancing and isolation being the norm for the next few months, it's going to be hard to stay positive.  I have a selection of sketchbooks, pastels and paints to help me through the challenging times ahead.

March and Narcissus

My husband bought me a bunch of Narcissus - very appropriate as the theme for this week is March.  Of course I had to photograph them first!
