52 Weeks of Happy 42/52

A bit late this week for one of these posts, but my mojo is back and joining Jen at Little Birdie for 52 Weeks of Happy.  This is where you post about four things that have made you happy in the week.

♥ Watching the fountains at Springfields Gardens in Spalding dancing in the sunlight.  (I LOVE this camera!!).
♥ The amazing vibrant colours of the flowers and butterflies just take my breath away, does it get any better?
♥ Oh yes it can, the lavender can be added to my shortbread (it was delicious!), along with scotch pancakes and gingernuts.
♥ Biting the bullet and starting my Grandad's book (a new tab has appeared in my title bar 'It's Not Just a Piece of Paper' in case you ever want to see how I am getting along with it).
Have a wonderful and happy weekend and week.

Take care.

♥Chel

  2. I too like the sound of the lavender shortbread! I have eaten lavender scones and they were delicious so I bet the shortbread is too. Ah, Springfields I remember it when it was just a garden with tulips when we first moved to Spalding now it has changed so much but I still love visiting when we get over there to see friends. Your photos are lovely:)

  7. We had lavender shortbread when we visited Yorkshire Lavender a few years ago, it was delicious. We also tried the lavender ice cream, which was equally good. What a marvellous project, working on your grandad's book, very rewarding I should think.
