The strangest object ever!

Now, have a guess what this strange object on the right is and what does it do? It is called SUN and is the brightest planet in our solar system, but since the water companies threatened us with hosepipe bans it disappeared without trace from our lives. The last time this was seen as bright as this was last April 2012 when the beaches were crammed full of day trippers and little red bodies everywhere, getting burnt because of the warmth that came from that lovely ball of heat. What do you know, I actually glimpsed it this week-end but no real heat came from it but the rays certainly felt lik ...Read More

When seasonal flowers are great

Spring is such a wonderful time of year with flowers such as hyacinths with their wonderful scent, tulips in all their different varieties and shapes, anenomies, ranunculus and daffodils. And this is what I mean they are such a strong and powerful image depicting spring (even though it's lost its way a little), but these flowers are so hardy that they will bring to us the real joy of spring and re-kindle the lovely thoughts they evoke.Read More

Final countdown for Mum!

Are you all ready for the last day before Mother's Day? Have you got her a card with that special message, as it really does mean so much? Have you got her a little present that you know she likes?

What is Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a day set aside for each family to honor its mother, and is observed in different ways all over the world. Historians believe that the ancient Greeks and Romans first celebrated a form of the holiday, which back then was a festival for their respective mother goddesses, but Mother's Day as we know it first started during the Civil War. In 1858, a young wife named Ann Jarvis began a tradition she called "Mother's Work Days" as a way to force her Union and Confederate neighbors to work together, if only for one day. After Ann died in 1905 her daughter, Anna, continued ...Read More

Well my most favourite is the small, pretty white flowers that are known as snowdrops that are enjoyed for their beauty, but people also look forward to seeing them grow each year for another significant reason. A blooming snowdrop means spring is on its way. As one of the first plants to bloom when winter moves into spring, snowdrops are the bright little m ...Read More
