The other day Mr Motley and I received a wonderful gift to add to our ever-growing collection of plants.
This is an unusual miniature orchid and basically we wanted to say a very big thank-you we love it!
We also have lots of seedlings sprouting up now on every windowsill making the house into an extension of the garden, which has a very 'good life' feel to it!
Currently we have a large number of lettuces, the ones that managed to avoid the frost, chillies, tomatoes, and sunflowers.
Not to mention all of the houseplants..... we can't wait for some warm weather to arrive so we can really get going on the garden.

In other news, the other crochet project that i began the other night (eventually it will be a blanket) is now well under way. I got three balls of random 3 colours, chenille style wool from the art,craft and bookshop called the works for £2.99. I'm sure this won't be enough for a full size blanket, but I'm going to see how much this makes up, and then have a rummage to find some other wools that complement the weight and colours.

I can't wait to post some delicious salads made from our home grown veg!
