Nature in the Home :: May Day

I'm so excited that the lovely Lou from Little Green Shed's Nature in the Home series has started again. This week the challenge is all about reviving the ancient tradition of flower baskets, where you (anonymously) leave  posies of flowers on friends and neighbours doorsteps on May Day.

Happy May Day x

Nature in the Home: White

Its been a really hectic week this week. I was away for the first half of the week and spent the rest of the week playing catch-up! Charlie had another settling session at his new school (he starts in September), I simply cannot believe how time flies - it seems only yesterday he was a teeny bundle in my arms in hospital! Wow.

I am so late in joining in in the lovely Lou's Nature in the home challenge this week. The theme is white and this collection of foraged hedgerow blooms is my offering. We went for a walk on the farm with the children after supper one evening this week and Edie helped me collect this weeks selection.

Nature in the Home - A Gift

This weeks Nature in the Home challenge from Lou was "a gift". These are a lovely little gift from the garden, the smell divine and I just love the contrast of the deep pink against the green and white petals.

Sunset on the farm is one of my most favourite times of day. A wonderful glow touches everything so gently, it makes me feel so calm and peaceful.

Nature in the home...

I stumbled upon this gorgeous idea from Little Green Shed via the lovely Charmaine from Littlenestbox. Its such a lovely idea, and I'm so excited to join in!  We're always popping a few garden blooms in jugs and jam jars around the house.

These little beauties were found in the field next to the children's nursery, they are a delight in our bedroom :)

Happy days!

Happy Tuesday! What a lovely sunshiney start to the week here in Cornwall.

Saturday was a very wet and windy day on the farm, so we tucked ourselves away and baked (feta, courgette and mint cake recipe to follow), and had lovely friends over for a children’s supper. Sunday was, in contrast, so very gloriously warm and sunny. There are some newly arrived calves (aka “moos”/ baby cows, depending on whether you are 2 or 3), which we visited (there are 21 of them – counted carefully by Edie, skipping the numbers 13 and 15). We wandered around and rescued the daffodils that had been snapped of in the wind and the house is filled with spring.

A mountain of washing was folded and put away and some terribly organised weekly/meal planning went on, finished off with a lovely roast.

Happy days indeed xx
