Mint

Bizarre mint offer at the till paying for dinner. Never seen a bowl full of polos before

Purple Yellow

I know everyone loves flowers, and spring and warmer weather. But not everyone shares their name with Goldhawk Road's finest (only) florist! The house covered in wysteria is nearby where I live and so much better in real life. Rosa's got nice tulips too

Choc Ices

Why aren't they more popular? Another post about nice packets and labels, sorry. Seem to be having a bit of a pink phase too, hope this means I can still be edgy.

Spring Buds

Back in London for the Easter holidays. Holiday being the wrong word really, just a casual 12,000 word dissertation to write in 2 weeks. But, snatched moments like this in Molly's garden - Catherine and Rosa doing a good job of coordinating cups with their outfits.

Pope

Also in Devon, is Louise's, the shop where I bought my silver I Love You spinner for a pound in November. This Pope coin (not sure which Pope) definitely isn't silver, but its pretty great. I like it on the same chain with its other Dulverton purchase.

Menagerie

Just spent three days in Devon, hanging out with these guys, Charlie's extensive array of pets. Julius and his 3 turtle companions, were probably my favourite... tough call when there's a talking parrot called Mr.Poppet and the biggest great dane ever called Otis as well.

First day of Spring

These soleil d'or daffodils from Cornwall have made my week. They are so beautiful and smell amazingly good - my mum once told me that the scent of the daffodils' was so strong when growing off the cliffs of Cornwall, that sailors en route home from long voyages abroad could tell they were getting closer to home. I feel like that as the Easter holidays loom.. Today is the first day of spring, and I would like to win the lottery so that I could buy a few nice dresses and skirts from Erdem for the warmer months.

Happy St Patricks Day

Don't really like Guinness.

Fitting that we drank in a green tiled pub though.

Steamy

Hannah and I watched The Railway Children last night. We huddled under a sleeping bag, drinking tea to keep warm, convinced that something had gone wrong with the central heating. (We had forgotten to turn it on). I can't remember when I last watched the film - it was definitely pre-double figures. Jenny Agutter is brilliant as Bobby, and the scene in which it is her birthday was the first of many occasions which embarassingly brought streaming tears to my eyes. Set in 1905, the dresses of the girls and mother are beautiful - lace, veils and petticoats.
