Table for two
In the half hour today when it wasn't drizzling, I went out to do a bit of pruning. All this rain has made my garden go bonkers and I could hardly see out of the kitchen window. The clippings were so pretty I couldn't bear to chuck them on the compost heap, so I popped them in a vase. Now I know it's not exactly Housemartin quality, but they made me smile.

And evidently I'm not the only one. When the boys sat down for their dinner Mark said 'Ooh look, flowers on the table. Can we have candles too?' So why not? Who doesn't like a candlelit dinner every now and again. For my sweet boy, who sometimes really notices the little things.

And my, that was a Charlie and Lola frenzy! Thanks for all the comments - the lucky winner of the C&L giveaway is Louise of Prairie Mouse. I'm so sorry if it wasn't you this time, but don't be too sad. It's a monthly magazine and I'll do another give-away when I see the next issue okay?

sometimes you just have to make the little occasions pretty.
(and are they eating mac + cheese? :)
The boys are so cute....my two ran around the house tonight with their pants off and laughed at each other's buts while we tried to finish dinner! First class eating at our house!
And thanks for the Housemartin link!
Like you I keep picking things out of the garden and puttinh them in jugs etc. - it's saving me a fortune on flowers!

What are those cuttings by the way? They're really, really pretty.
