This is my favourite photo of him, taken a few years ago when he was twelve - he reached the grand old age of eighteen! #bestdogever #dogsofinstagram #hugo #thatboxistoosmall #staffiecross #rescuedog #doginabox56739411_1238070626360980_3658484286539641018_nTulips by Thanatos Tsingos 1960, perfect for a sunny Easter weekend #easter #springflowers #tulips #art #artist #thanatostsingos #1960 #spring56618647_2669063206497248_3323251007968912290_nJust had to do emergency repair to a favourite jumper I'm wearing as I caught the sleeve (no hole 😊). Looking for a wool needle in the long unused sewing box I found my grandmother's beautiful needle case! She was a seamstress/dressmaker and had a workshop on Regent St a very long time ago. I'd forgotten that I'd found this amongst my mum's things. Made me happy - and jumper repaired #emergencyrepairs #needlecase #forgottentreasures #sewing #dressmaker #familytreasures #savedtheday #mademehappy57294342_658399447912220_6187231639847647588_nOverwintered in the greenhouse and flowering already! #nasturtium #summeriscoming #spring #easter #greenhouselife #orangeisbest #flowers #garden56189754_571143926740899_2436315429000538841_nLove this painting of Spitalfields rooftops by @nicholas1_borden part of the exhibition of his new work here that opens today and runs 15th - 24th March. #spitalfields #art #exhibition #newwork #eastend #gallery #townhousespitalfields #rooftops54277301_2219606298252076_6220041981364545429_nOn a quick gardening visit to Normandy and spent yesterday afternoon making room for more rhubarb in beautiful warm sunshine. #normandy #gardening #rhubarb #eveninglight #turfcutter #potager #rhubarbforcer #vegetablegarden53179256_587787348355875_4901105822062616213_n
