So important to reclaim yourself, rather like the way some of your garden plants have reasserted their independence!<br /><br />I rather like your old place mats - the thought of your friend-made placemats still working after 30 years is rather lovely.colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484411878651364981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-6171024607431795072010-05-10T21:27:50.216+01:002010-05-10T21:27:50.216+01:00em

Last year it produced leaves and this year I was overjoyed to see the flowers. It is my ambition to have it cover at least one wall of the garden.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-74900905713499378692010-05-10T21:10:36.032+01:002010-05-10T21:10:36.032+01:00Jodi, it is good to be back.

My mother in law had some place mats with cork backs and 1960s photos of seaside resorts on them, brought out on high days and holidays. We joked about them for years. She has new ones now and they're just not the same fun!Rattling Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717017116448498799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-87444773460148068172010-05-10T15:30:10.466+01:002010-05-10T15:30:10.466+01:00Dear M, enjoy your quiet time.

I certainly haven't spent much time on it this year with all my family commitments.<br /><br />I am sure you will be extremely busy with your family photo project. These things take far more time than we anticipate but I hope you enjoy all the memories that go along with the photos.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-76843702250416079152010-05-10T13:30:57.733+01:002010-05-10T13:30:57.733+01:00Your garden is gorgeous.

Makes them seem all the more magical. <br /><br />We've been busy going through hundreds, if not, thousands of pictures trying to decide what to include in a DVD history of our family. It's far more of a job than I bargained for.<br /><br />I hope the results turn out as well as your placemats.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-81589236441378693122010-05-10T12:26:25.889+01:002010-05-10T12:26:25.889+01:00Thanks, Cathy.

I will lay aside the convent school guilt I've been feeling and enjoy a few more days of self indulgence! <br />Yes, we are now having some typical English spring days with temperatures approaching freezing! We have had some lovely warm days but we knew they wouldn't last. I've put the heating back on and will catch up on some grown-up reading now.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-74596129302218947992010-05-10T11:52:38.472+01:002010-05-10T11:52:38.472+01:00Hello there
