sending some spring!

Such a gloriously sparkly and fresh morning today, making the little vase of daffodils on our breakfast table  more than a little incongruous with the freezing view outside.

They gave me such a happy feeling as I rushed the troops out of the door to various breakfast clubs and childcare drop offs: a little smile inside.




I sat around the same table in the interlude between work and school pick up, enjoying some rare and very precious crafting  time with friends over coffee. I was reminded that it is  the simple things that give us that happy feeling inside.


Later looking at my  calendar (a  gorgeous free gift with the most lovely Mollie Makes Magazine) ready to turn the page to a new month, I  realised  afresh the truth of the  quote:



"There are people who have money
 and people who are rich".

    Your French holiday looked a lot of fun, so pleased you all had a wonderful break.

  4. That is my mantra too! When I was in my late teens, A fortune teller told me that I would never be rich, but I would live a very rich life as my riches will come from other ways! I haven't bothered buying a lottery ticket since ha ha
