I've been very conscious that my last few posts have been quite cold and grey mainly because of the weather and the places we have been walking, so I made my mind up that my next post was going to contain some colour. It was quite hard to find on the grey days that we have had lately but here are a few photos taken where I was able to find that elusive element.
I found these lovely cyclamens today at the garden centre.
A few days ago I found this pretty fabric - just right for covering a small cushion that I've had for ages. I've decided to leave the red tablecloth bought for Christmas on the kitchen table as it adds warmth and colour whilst it is still cold and grey outside.
This handsome chap was wandering around the bird feeders at Consall Country Park where we went for a walk yesterday- he came quite close to us to see if we had anything he could eat - we hadn't, but the warden came out at that moment with a shovel full of grain which the pheasant had to share with about twenty hungry ducks.
We woke up yesterday to the most beautiful red sky. Well, it was a warning as by lunchtime it was snowing.
Ah, well - back to the white stuff again!
Thanks for the colour infusion Rosie - just what I needed. Ive not known a cold spell hang around as long as this for years!! Apart from the threat of snow combined with a 17 year old girl who thinks jaunts to Manchester and London are the order of the day, I am quite enjoying it. xxx
ReplyDeleteIf only we could dress as handsomely as that pheasant!
ReplyDeleteAh so that's where our Pheasant went! I have often wondered!
ReplyDeleteI've cleared away Christmas today...apart from the 'Christmas Village' china, which I love so much that it can stay out for a week or two!
Lovely splash of colour today, Rosie!
;-)
What lovely colours. Just the thing to brighten a dull day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosie!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! It's cheerful starting this one!
We all need a bit of colour for sure. Makes a change from grey and white! Love the tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the injection of colour! I am feeling dull and grey at the moment due to a nasty cold and the colour has cheered me up!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about being fed up with the grey now the colour of Christmas has gone. Thank you for a little bit of sunshine!

I have enjoyed looking at your photos. I see you read Miss Read books also. I have read four of the books about Thrush Green and I cannot wait to get the next book in the series!

We certainly need a bit of warmth around here! Your fabric is lovely, very Elizabethan I think.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking the same thing about doing a post with some colour in it! My blog seems to have become black and white recently but there are so many beautiful scenes about at the moment with all the snow that I may stay in my 'black and white phase'. I love the photo with the sunrise, here we've had some lovely red skies in the evening.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie, your delightful flowers are like a breath of fresh spring air. I greatly appreciate you sharing the beauty.
ReplyDeleteYou must like color, looking at your tablecloth. It's okay Rosie, everything around you must be greyish (when I think back on our winters in Holland)!
ReplyDeleteNice colors, Rosie. They cheered me! Many thanks.
