LOOKING FORWARD TO...
...OUTDOOR LIVING!

Sunshine, blue skies and temperatures set to be pretty good here in the UK this weekend….could this be the start of summer? After a busy week so far, I am looking forward to a relaxed and sociable weekend ahead, and spending as much time as possible outside.
The last week has flown by (sorry to my regular readers for lack of blog posts!) with a fabulous 30 year school reunion in London last Saturday night….a very special evening being reunited with some great friends from the past, many of whom I hadn't seen for all this time. It is funny how a common bond can bring friendships back together again, and the years just disappear and you pick up where you left off? A happy event!
In amongst design projects, it was back up to town yesterday for the 'Spirit of Summer Fair' at Olympia, for some fantastic design inspiration and of course, a little retail therapy with a daughter who has great stamina for these things! Phew….always love and need my regular London fixes, but after a long day on the hoof, I am always pleased to get back to the clean, calm, peace of our little slice of rural Kent and relax!
So, outdoor living….is that something you long for, as days get sunnier and evenings get warmer?
With pictures taken in the garden this morning, I leave you with some of the 'outdoor living' here at home that I am enjoying…
On the deck...
The first gorgeous scent of Lavender…
Overlooking the annual 'maternity ward' beyond the garden…
Anticipating some meals 'al fresco'…
And drinks under the shade of the new pergola we back breakingly constructed the other weekend!
Edible violas….ready for summer salads.

The kitchen garden underway….looking forward to the season's fresh, new produce.
Longing for the scent and sight of the first pink Roses…beautiful 'Sweet Hermione'.
Enjoying the last of the tulips…
While busily planting up new pots and hanging baskets…
Yes, summer could finally be here…
time to clean up that bar-b-q I think!
Wishing you a happy and sunny few days,
wherever you may be?
