In the garden with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...


The Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata) is in full bloom.


Mr. C is

digging the weeds,

Who could ask for more?" 🎡

I'm not sure when, or even if, I planted this tulip in my flower box but I am delight to see it blooming there.

A lazy day for me: a spot of shopping after breakfast followed by a long nap.


Not so Fair Damsel who not only crocheted but also found time to make giant Cornish pasties.


I think you can guess which one's mine.

A group of bunnies is called a fluffle. These are ready to go spread some Easter kindness around the local village.

Un lapin pour PΓ’ques!

A bunny for Easter!

Knowing how bunnies multiply, I expect to have more to put out for random acts of crochet kindness soon.

You gotta love French snacks; although these little cheese filled "wafers" do resemble tiny Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch.

Mr. C took me shopping at Le Noz (discount store) in Craon today. We'd been there a while when he said, "Did you see the great big balls of wool?" (He's English; so he calls all yarn wool.) I had not. He showed me where they were and, of course, we brought some home.

Fortunately we didn't get stuck behind this truck for long as it was full of eh-hem...natural fertilizer.

A beautiful day so we drove to another town to see if we could find treats for us both. Fair Damsel bought some huge balls of yarn with a few other things: I bought 20 tins of baked beans and a packet of fig biscuits.

All's well in our world.

Well, I still need to pull a bunch of ivy and weeds, but I managed to summon up the energy between rainstorms to repot my birthday primroses and tidy up the flower boxes a bit.

When you realize that one of those bright blue objects in the flower box is not a forget-me-not! 🀩 #honored #garden #gardening


Reliable sources inform me that it is now naptime.

Following a successful day's outing to IntermarchΓ© with Fair Damsel, it seemed fitting to enjoy a superb home cooked meal as we watched Midsommers Murders.

Look what I found at Intermarche! My 4 go-to herbs. They didn't come that way, I just stuck the pots in my planter to carry them into the apartment. I'm going to plant them in a long window box. They only had one of each, sat altogether, screaming at me to take them home. #garden

We spring-cleaned the appartement and I also cut 3 wheelbarrows of grass and dandelions for Limonaid & Little Goat.

Fair Damsel is enjoying her crochet and has happily tried on her beautiful new Lacey collar.


All's well in our world, Sunbeams.

Progress continues on the amigurumi bear pattern I'm testing for https://www.instagram.com/crochet.nz?igsh=MXJpZDJvN3JqN2x4eQ==


They look a touch robotic though not nearly as much as before I stuffed their head. πŸ»πŸ€– Tomorrow I plan to give them ears, arms, and a nose.

I made another lace collar. I can't wait to wear it with my periwinkle coloured shirt.

Another cold day spent indoors due to heavy rain which has left everywhere completely sodden. Limonaid took the opportunity of a short break in the downpour to graze in the marsh.

We're watching a film.

I had a rest day yesterday, but progress continues on the amigurumi bear pattern I'm testing for https://www.instagram.com/crochet.nz?igsh=MXJpZDJvN3JqN2x4eQ==


I'm doing mine in rainbow stripes using hobbii.com Rainbow Cotton 8/8 and a 4 mm (G) hook.

I crocheted a decorative collar that can be worn with any shirt that doesn't already have a collar. It has a button that can be worn in the back like I've got it in this picture or in the front.

A lovely day but chilly so we stayed indoors, took baths, and relaxed with a film until I fell asleep.


Fair Damsel woke me to say that dinner was ready: boiled potatoes, pan seared spam and baked beans.

I'm excited! I've been accepted as a pattern tester for this cute little bear by https://www.instagram.com/crochet.nz?igsh=MXJpZDJvN3JqN2x4eQ==

I'm making him with Rainbow Cotton 8/8 from Hobbii.com. I've got the legs done and am working on the body. I've just switched to green. 🧸🏳️‍🌈

A sunny day but cold. We made the best of it by going to the post office and supermarket.


After lunch I napped before dinner. Fair Damsel made Cornish pasties with gravy and I made chips. Absolutely Sunbeamadelicious.πŸ˜‹
