(It seems I am unable to post things when they actually happen. So, let us assume it is last Monday, and carry on regardless)
I have just got back from a very brief trip to Italy via Paris. Nobody was in when I got home, but I felt amply welcomed by this lot on the windowsill by the front door!
I was only gone six days, and before I went I planted up another one of the very fine wine boxes from Nicolas with some bulbs and pansies, as a window box.
Here it is, looking promising before I left...
It's just an empty fine wine box I begged from the shop, filled with half and half bought compost and wormery compost, and planted with forced daffodils and pansies from the flower shop down the road. I was lazy and didn't bother lining it or treating the wood- it was going to be chucked before I got to it, so I'm ok with it rotting over time...
In between the two pictures above was quite a lot of fabric and yarn shopping (which I will come back to at some point), a great many good meals
and several trains.

how exciting!! I can't wait to hear about it. And the flowers are gorgeous. I just tried gardening for the first time this year. I have some shoots, but nothing too blossomy yet. boo.
I love the box you used for the flowers! I want one, but don't know that I can get ahold of an empty wooden wine crate.
I love the look of the wine boxes _ i' thinking that I might try and beg some from Nicholas in Headington for a herb box outside my front door. It looks very classy. It is good for biodiversity you are happy for the rotting to occur and yey for using the wormery compost. Maybe the worms should star in a blog post of their own? xxx
The daffodils looks beautiful, I love the box you used for the flowers.
wow... great flowers, lovely box and a few days in wonderful places... envy... that is what I'm feeling!!!!
Wow - Spring! The trip sounds wonderful and the flowers are so happy. It's still snowing at my house.
Loving your wine box idea- this blog rocks :)
