FRESH FLOWERS.... AND HAPPY NEWS

Have I mentioned before how much I love flowers... any sort of flowers.... I am sure it has a lot to do with stimulating the senses,  lots of colour and fragrance.  This year I have been blessed with lots of flowers.
Tonight these grace my dining room table.

My favourite jug filled with beautiful flowers.

It's been a sad week this week,  on top our losing our Nanna last weekend, on Thursday just gone,  our neighbour died unexpectedly.  To say it was a shock is an understatement.  He was only 49, and leaves a beautiful wife and two lovely children, both of whom Steve has taught.   We are still wandering around in disbelief.  Anyway today I wanted to go and get a nice bunch of flowers so that I can take them over to her....  Not only did I come home with a lovely bunch for my neighbour, but I also got a good deal on this bunch for me.  

Chloe ended up going down and buying a bunch for a good friend of hers who hasn't been well today either, and she arrived home with another small bunch for me because she thought I would like this particular flower

Some sort of Australian Native.... I love the green colour. 

  If I could I would love to have fresh flowers on my table each and every week.  Unfortunately I can't really afford to do that, but I do really appreciate it when I can, and this week I am going to really enjoy admiring these each day..

Just beautiful

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vibrant Colours and fragrance.

Amidst all the sadness this weekend, we did receive some wonderful news...  We have a new nephew.  Steve's youngest brother and his Wife gave birth to a gorgeous son... Benjamin James.   His big sister is over the moon...

Can't wait to meet him and have a cuddle.  It seems so strange,  Steve's youngest brother has become a dad for the second time, at just about the same time as Steve is to become a grandfather.   Exciting days ahead.
Thought I would share one more photo from tonight. 

The latest in Macca ice creams -  the ice cream snowman.  

Will be back to share some photos of Steve's weekend away in the next day or so....
