June... And Lot's Of Thing's I Love

The next few posts will be about everything I Love.
So this will be a long list !
Thing's that make me smile

My new real Vintage letters, given to me by Johanna's fiance Steve.
The M is really a W, but I kind of like a quirky bit of a display.
.


Touches of Red in my home.


Anything Pewter.


Candles, all sorts of candles.


A Ring Of Friends candle.


Strawberries in my garden.
With their beautiful simple little flowers and log piles ready for the winter cosy nights in.


The shady corners of my garden.


A little camp fire in the garden in the evenings.
With a cheeky little Gin & Tonic.


Vintage wooden crates from .local farms or London markets.


Companion planting.
White and blue flowers.


Blue flowers.


Ferns and geraniums and old London paving slabs dotted with red pammets, and old stock bricks.


A Herb garden in an old butler sink ready and waiting by the back door.


My kitchen, tidy but full of little pieces of vintage cookware, china, jugs, silver spoons........etc etc


If anybody has any of this particular collection, please let me know.


Of course Hearts.
Which will be found all over my home.



Late afternoon in my kitchen with the windows open, the sun now moved on to the end of my garden and plans for the evening meal underway.
With a cheeky little Gin &Tonic on the side.......ha ha


Rusty ironware's, especially when full of flowers.


Wooden trays.....with hearts on!
And two chilled glasses and a Bud to share with my better half after we have been very good and done a little gardening.


A walk through the fields in a nearby village.
With good friends.


And ending up in the pub for a tasty Sunday Roast and maybe...
a few more of those cheeky things....well it just to be done to round off a wonderful walk, doesn't it.



A white gate in a green field...and this is Paul my old mate since schooldays.



Well that is it for this post.
There is a lot more Lovely things to come.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend enjoying the simple things in life.
Love,
C

We're currently looking into having our kitchen redone and I really like the look of yours. The black worktop looks amazing with the white and beige cupboards.

Hi,

You may not remember me but I used to visit your blog a few years ago, my blog at the time was Miles Away in France.
I hope all is well with you, I haven't read through your blog so I am not up to date. How is the gorgeous guy?
Racheal

Racheal Miles said...

oh dear, I am so so sorry, I just started reading back through your blog and saw the post about guy. I am truly sorry for your loss, he was the cutest dog I ever saw and he continued to stay in my mind all this time.
Sorry x
