Saturday marked the official start date of the Easter holidays. So to celebrate I tucked into some lovely croissants, normally reserved for special occasions, and boy did I enjoy them! I normally eat breakfast in bed but as the sun was streaming through the blinds, I decided to get up and make the most of the day which included a lot of reading, drinking coffee and pottering.
Hopefully the weather will stay sunny so we can spend some much needed time in the garden. Lots of walks, enjoying the little things and maybe a spot of spring cleaning are my plans for this week.
I have been loving:
Planting fresh herbs on the potting bench to use in recipes
Drinking jasmine tea in our favourite Vietnamese cafe
Lovely scented lilies to brighten our dining room
Gorgeous gifts given to me by a dear friend
Have a lovely week.
Looks like a great Easter holiday week so far. I wish I could keep herbs alive, they always seem to die on me (apart from rosemary which seems almost impossible to kill).
ReplyI'm definitely better with herbs than I am with houseplants! I'm making a special effort this year to grow even more! I just need to remember to water them all! Thanks for your lovely comment, Lisa. :-)
I'm with you, herbs are easier to keep alive than houseplants! Gorgeous photos, as always, Rachel, hope you really enjoy your Easter break. xxx
ReplyThank you so much Curtise. Have a lovely Easter too. Wouldn't it be lovely if the weather stayed like this? xxx
