A few of the things which catch my eye, inspire me, pluck at my heart
strings, make me smile, or that I just enjoy. Maybe they will do the
same for you.
When we were at school, we had to memorise poetry. I remember memorising this one and it was always one of my favourites. Do children still have to memorise poetry? I wonder.

And those are my favourite things for this week!
We had such a great time with Tina and Tony yesterday! This is a photo of them on their recent trip to SA. Those are rescue baby elephants. Magnificent. We took Mitzie with us, as she just adores Tina and the feeling is mutual. Tina had made a fabulous stew. I got Tony all sorted with his Netflix so now they can watch it on their telly, no problem. It was just a really wonderful afternoon. It cheered me up to no end!
A thought to carry with you . . .

OH yes, they were Elizabeth. Both are in their mid 70's. Tina was born in Zimbawe when it was Rhodesia, and Tony is a native Welshman, but moved to Rhodesia as a young man. They've lived all over the world, including Australia. Retired here in the UK as they say it is the cheapest place to live. xoxo
DeleteHi Marie, I think your favourite things are my favourite things, too. Loved that little bunny all dressed up in her Easter finery. Glad you had such a wonderful time with Tina and Tony. Did you see Susan's new post? Always lovely to read, as usual. Take gentle care, hugs, Elaine
ReplyDeleteI caught it this morning Elaine! Haven't commented yet. I am gathering my thoughts! love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteOh my, this was really a lovely moment of looking slowly through all of your favorite things. I enjoyed all of them.
ReplyDeleteI would buy those flowered flats for sure.
I enjoy using linen napkins and have a few sets but not as cute as these.
I can’t wait to start seeing some flowers blooming. We are still in a very late winter type weather pattern. Spring is slow in coming.
The little blue bird just reminded me of the film Cinderella for a moment.
You already know my love for tea cups. I must post some photos of mine at some point.
Your crocheted blanket is so beautiful.
The Robin Egg cake is really lovely.
The one photo really brought back a memory of snapping green beans with my Grandmother. I will always miss the moments I had with her.
Really loved seeing the sweet photo of your friends; Tina and Tony. I’m happy you had a precious moment with them.
Sendin loving thoughts and hugs your way!
I used to love that film Cinderella when I was a child LeAnn! Mind you I loved all the Disney cartoons and films! Love and hugs to you! xoxo
