I have been out in the garden this morning! It wasn't raining, was very mild and the birds were singing their heads off. I took quite a few photos but I'm saving most for my gardening blog post later this week. I tried something I'd wanted to do for years but lacked the necessary props! I also planted some primulas in the container hanging on the fence opposite the back door. Nice and bright and cheerful!

I have had some very exciting news about my wedding photography. I think i'm going to be extremely challenged in the next few months but I'm very lucky to have such wonderful opportunities come my way. I truly can hardly believe it is happening to me...

I had to take a photo of my new washing machine! After being without a properly functioning machine since just before christmas, it's BLISS to have one again. It's the most sophisticated one we've ever had and is far more intelligent than me - it speaks English, French and German!!

My friend Quiet Rage has just started a new cookery blog.
She is one of the best cooks I have ever encountered. Check out her blog for great advice and RECIPES!!

I LOVE the primroses (primula). I used to plant them every year when we lived in Oregon. I don't know how they'd fare here with our harsher winters.

I'm so glad your washing machine issue is resolved. There's no making do without one, and going to a laundromat is the pits.

Your washing machine looks space-age enough as though it will launch astronauts to Mars!

When Lovely Wife and I first got married, our first big purchase was a washer and dryer.

It doesn't take many trips to the coin operated laundromat to really appreciate them.
