Ted's birthday

Today, on Easter Sunday, Ted is three!  It would be hard to find a furry friend who brings more joy, delight and companionship than this little chap!  I gave him to Mr Gaucho for his birthday three years ago and there hasn't been a single day that Ted hasn't scampered around with eager anticipation and excitement, every morning, at the prospect of seeing his human dad.  Once his paws are dry from his early morning walk I unleash him on his unsuspecting, slumbering master.  He leaps on to the bed with gusto and that is how Mr Gaucho starts his day.  Ted is the ultimate alarm clock!
 He loves to sunbathe.  No sooner than the sun hits the garden bench he is up there, sunning himself for as long as possible!
 Happy Birthday Teddy Bear.  You are our pot of gold!

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
