Quiet moments

Cecily and I had a wonderful weekend in London and came home on Monday full of energy and completely exhausted at the same time.

Now back at work I have been doing one of my favourite tasks of taking photos of some of our goodies, including this bistro carver chair and gorgeous knitted throw.

Whilst I was busy creating a rather nice 'arty' shot, I discovered that there is a lovely place to sit just outside our unit, in the shade of a tree and surrounded by wild flowers and grasses that are growing there.

Part of me knows that I ought to cut this little patch of grass and make it very neat and tidy, but it is teeming with wildlife who are enjoying the variety of vetches and clovers growing amonst the tall grass. Perhaps I will leave it a little while longer before I cut it all down and give the wildflowers a chance to seed themselves for next year.

Dave and I are still working on the new version of our website; it seems to be taking forever, but I know that a little extra work now will make it even easier for everyone to use and I am really pleased with how it looks so far. I will keep you posted and will announce a launch date in due course.

As always, my tea cup needs a refill, chat soon, Liz
