smile

Things that have made me smile today.


A terracotta tub of spring colour in the front garden.


Spotting the heart shaped buttons on S's new (to her) school dress as I was ironing it ready yo hang in the wardrobe to await the warmer days to come.

These 2 little fellows who followed me around the house today.




Giving the furniture a quick dust over and glimpsing my new heart from Lydia's giveaway.



Eating one of these very moist chocolate and cranberry brownies. I urge you to bake them soon!



And last, but by no means least, reading all your kind words on my current family situation.
They have given me lots to think about and consider.
I really can't express how much I've appreciated receiving such thoughtful messges from my lovely blogfriends.
Thank you.

  6. So glad you're feeling better; sometimes zooming in onto the little joys of everyday is the only way to gain distance from the bigger trials in life. And those brownies look amazing! Maybe one for my next failed bakery attempt ;-)

    Hope its as sunny where you are as it is here!

  7. Nothing like a chocolate brownie to perk you up!
    I wonder how long before it will be warm enough for your daughter to wear that dress!
    Sweet kitties.

  13. I've caught up with my reading of your blog and do hope you're feeling all right, Lisa. It's hard not to get upset when people are unreasonable. Be good to yourself. Time will help you feel better. Time and brownies, right?

  15. Hi Lisa

    Im so sorry to hear that you have been stressed, ive not been online for a few days so a bit behind on blogs, I really hope things start to get better for you, I'll be thinking of you. Stress is such a horrible thing Ive been completely under the weather and have spent most of the time eating chocolate which dosent really help as then i just feel bloated on top of the stress, if you fancy it I could make it to southampton if you could for a coffee? send me an email if youd like to and we'll arrange it, dont worry if youd rather not it can be nervous meeting new poeple I always feel butterflies! Id have to get the train because you know what im like with driving, he he!!!

    i hope you have a lovely weekend and thank you for your kind words about my neighbour troubles, Fliss xx

  16. Hello Lovely,

    forgive my silence. I have been thinking about what I could say to you by way of being helpful after all the nasty things you have put up with.
    Suffice to say I don't believe they understand you and I hope in time you will feel less raw and able to forgive them.
    You are a sweet, thoughtful person ( I remember the time you take in giving people just the right gift.)
    Hope you are feeling better,

    Sarah x
