Happy New Year, and may 2025 come up roses (and not be full of bull shi… 😁)
Classic Crown Lynn Autumn Splendour. A gift from friends that takes me back to childhood 💛🧡❤️
After a busy week, thank heavens for the restorative properties of a tea tray ❤️
Can’t believe I found one last rose when I was pruning them. So today is a yellow day! 💛💛💛
The magnolia tree is bursting into flower, and looks lovely with its blanket of hellebores underneath. Spring is on the way
The last rose nestled among the first arrivals of spring 🌹
The rose may be a little weather battered, but the scent is out of this world 🫖🌹
2 pages from finishing the new book and I am Wrung out Spun dry Burnt down Bla Filled with more tea a mere human can comprehend So Remind me, why do I do this again??
Fiesta tea tray today. Been sick with Covid for the last week, and finally feeling better. So I’ve gone with the colourful pick me up approach ❤️💛💚
The roses are a little battered by the weather, but are still cheery 💐
Lovely op-shop find tea set discovered last weekend while out having a blast with my sister in Tauranga. People, we are a bad influence on each other 😆
Sunday tea time with a tea set from my lovely SIL Margaret Campbell, tea pot from by bro Doug Campbell and teeny-tiny milk jug was my MIL Sue’s
Thank you to Jean Fleming for giving me this stunning tea set that was her Granny Winnie’s, and was trotted out for her tennis parties and Mother’s Union meetings. Such a special gift 🥹❤️
Mother’s Day tea tray. Mum’s tea pot and tea set, which reminds me of forget-me-nots. MIL’s cute milk jug and tiny blue vase. Rose is Scent by an Angel, a gift from the lovely staff at the School of Pharmacy when Mum passed away 💕💙
