Champagne for everybody !

From the train this morning I spotted several elderflower trees in full beautiful bloom. I am desperate to make elderflower Champagne like my auntie used to. Off to Cornwall on Monday for two weeks so am planning to do it then, using this recipe from Hugh F.W. Apparently it makes about 24 bottles, so I'll be able to be generous with them! Can't wait!

I never knew vases could be so cute....

These cheeky chaps and their clashing coloured ranuncular hats really caught my eye on pretty blog Oh Joy. I love the difference in their heights and the fact they seem to have such distinct personalities. The vases are from Etsy shop Pretty Random Objects. Love!

Mmmm, succulents!

I have just booked tickets for Chelsea Flower Show. My husband is a landscaper and he gets seriously excited about this event. He takes 100's of photos and even took a step ladder one year so he could see the gardens better over the crowds (!). This picture was taken 2 years ago and was the first time I'd seen such a clever use of succulent plants. I was never a fan before, but this little shed with it's pretty green roof is amazing. I can't wait to see what cleverness we spot this year.

My new bike

Isn't she lovely? Her name is Emmelle and she has been locked in a garage in Guildford since 1989. Soon she will be here with me in sunny London, with a new basket on her front. Can't wait.

I still really love Care Bears

Bag love 2

If I could have any designer bag this spring, it would be the Bowery from Anya Hindmarch. Love the woven colours and ladylike shape. There's a competition to win one of these beauties at Sheerluxe. Oh let it be me!
