Can I wear taupe with grey?
Rhetoric question of course but poignant nonetheless.
With DH not working yesterday and no chance of any productive outdoor work on my part, DH and I decided to go to the pictures in the morning. Spur of the moment, you understand, "Salon Fishing in the Yemen" if you must know.
Most pressing question: what to wear? Silk was out of the question but cold and damp lends itself to a shawl. I was in varying shades of grey this morning but the shawl that shrieked loudest to me was Tours de Cles. Mine is the beige/taupe/red colourway and I had never dared to pair this with grey.
It works (I think) and the red cheered me up no end. One to be repeated.

Music to my ears ...
Still raining and I am getting to spend time at home when I would normally be out weeding and sowing.
Time for something a bit different: music. I had been stressing over my beloved Bose wave radio/cd player for the best part of a year. The CD side had stopped functioning properly and had become very hit and miss as to when it deemed to oblige my hankering for music.

Orange Sun
I have been dodging the (much needed) showers for much of last week, hence the lack of pictures.
So when last week the sun came out after heavy rain, I happened to be working and had my camera in the car, I got to take this picture of Tulip 'Orange Sun'.

Spring at Easton Walled Gardens
This is a belated Easter post when I had a chance to see Easton Walled Gardens. I had hoped for some fine sunny weather but to no avail. At least we were spared the rain that has been blessing us for nearly a week and which stops me with finally moving sweet peas and broad beans from the cold frame to their spot in the garden.

More yellow ... in the garden
After the long Easter break (complete with utterly drab, wet and cold weather) I am out and about again.
Most of the daffodils bar the very late varieties (more of that another time) have gone over but my craving for some sunshine yellow in the borders finds fulfilment in the form of Erythronium 'Pagoda'.

Je t'aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément ... yellow!
As most of the glorious yellow daffodils have already gone over, I was looking for something else in yellow to share with you. I hope you won't be disappointed that I am sharing a little silk love today: Amours, an Annie Faivre design from 1999.
Nomen est omen - this scarf is all about love. And there is a lot that draws me to this scarf, for a start it features flowers.

Vulgar? Not even common...
Heavens knows why its botanical name is Pulsatilla vulgaris, it must be a common sight somewhere. If you happen to know, please let me know as enquiring minds like to know these things.
