Sweetpea surprise







I planted Sweetpea seeds this Spring and totally forgot about them. I assumed they had died until I discovered them in abundance hiding behind the well and the Cosmos. I must grow more next year, when I've gathered more enthusiam for gardening :)

A friend remarked recently that they liked the children's playroom. Actually, it's supposed to be my room but I think I've come to realise I love the sight of toys everywhere more than the children. Sam asked the other day the whereabouts of his bakugans. My reply was "in a basket". Sam: "but which basket Mummy? There are baskets everywhere!".

My little blog was featured HERE this week!

And linking up to the Creative Exchange this week.

  1. Reminds me of earlier this year when my son started playing and for the first time, there were some toys on the floor. Not simply put there by us, but in this very place because a little one used in just this way. That was another step on the way of realizing we do have a child here with us :)

  7. Sweet peas are an absolute fave of mine, I grew many this year on my allotment and had bunches of them for about 3 months to cheer my house up. Gorgeous scent too.

    I love my son's toys around the house, some are just so wonderful and colourful. My house is a much more cheery place with them.

    Those birdie pics are great especially the one with the tape - adorable.

  8. The sweetpeas are wonderful Andrea, and I love the way you've photographed them here. I used to love the sight of my kids' toys all over the place too. The messier, the better!!

  9. oohhh... sweet peas. I've tried to plant them numerous times here, but they never take. :(

    I learned something new about you. I never realized you were from the UK originally nor what brought you to France. Another mystery solved. Love that you traded it all in for a simpler life. You rock! :)

    I love the babushka garland, the bird prints and everything else about this room is so sweet - like the sweetpeas themselves ;)
