After last week's post about how I loved getting flowers from you, as it was the 'connect' part of the blog, Ali sent me a note about the amaryllis in her garden:
Pretty impressive?
What's impressive is that when your view is this:
which hers is,
you can be bothered to do anything other than sit on the veranda drinking gin 'n tonics looking out to sea!
Pink again!
I know, seems to be a theme around here - but bright pink goes so nicely against the white. (I'd hate to say 'pops of colour' so I won't)
And Ali may recognise that silver jug as a wedding present from nearly 38 years ago...
...which is a pretty happy connection for this Friday too.
Have good weekends y'all

(ps. I know that Ali's silver jug is not polished - but polished silverware is for Other People, much like diets, commuting via tube and too much TV; not to mention that round here we rock the faded grandeur look, okay?)

unpolished silver jug, yet you are using coasters on that tray... ;-)
yip! My 'antique' tray from a little market in Amsterdam turns out to not be so antique after all! Rachel Ashwell of ShabbyChic has a matching one in her kitchen in her new book, and I've seen a few in other photos. Turns out anything - wet or dry - leaves rings on the tray, and the tray is leaving marks on my table!
It's very lucky I still love it.
And luckier still that the coasters are attractive and not pub ones!
