Dandelions and perfume

12 May 2012















We are moved and unpacked (mostly!) It seems to have been so much harder moving this time than I remember from previous house moves. I guess we have an extra little person this time and also the last time we moved it was from a small flat and we just didn't have the space to accumulate stuff in a loft or garage. Anyhow we are getting there, gradually putting everything in its new place and it's so nice to finally be in our new home.

Today we have spent the whole day in our new garden enjoying the gorgeous sunshine. The kids loved picking flowers and blowing the dandelions from our overgrown garden and Elizabeth made a nice floral perfume which she has left to brew overnight. I think I might be expected to try this out tomorrow!

    I am so glad I popped over to say *hello* those pictures are just wonderful. Bright and cheerful :) We too are just after moving and the boxes and unpacking seem never ending, but we are getting there. It's nice to watch the place evolve into a home! I hope the "perfume" turned out well :) Hazel x

    Your photos are so amazing, how do you get them to look so retro? I would love to learn how to do this better on my blog. And reading this post brings back so many memories of the perfumes I used to make as a little girl. Really inspiring blog, thanks for sharing snippets of your family life, great to read on a friday evening. xx
