Lawdy Miss Clawdy - it's hot over here.....

I'm staying inside today trying to keep cool

in this very hot humid weather.

Much as I need to have a tidy up in the garden,

because of the high temps in Summer

it's now become an early morning job!

The roses and perennials need dead-heading

in fact the whole garden needs a good weeding throughout

so I intend getting up with the birds tomorrow

to get a few hours work done.

I've photographed flowers from my garden

both dried and fresh.

For my friends in the Northern Hemisphere

I know you are looking forward to the arrival of

Spring

take heart because it's only a matter of time before

our seasons will be reversed and in the words of

Percy Bysshe Shelley

"O wind, if Winter comes

can Spring be far behind".

I'm joining Karen for Sunlit Sunday

and

Judith for Mosaic Monday

and
Bernideen for Tea Time, Cottage and Garden

and
Stephanie for Roses of Inspiration

Take care and

be kind to one another

à bientôt

Embroidery Tea....

Hello dear friends!

I've blogged about embroidery days before.
Our small group meets fortnightly
and this time our venue was
Mary's apartment on harbour side.
Some of you might recognise her lovely pink glass teapot
with the Chinese flower tea I posted about here

We each had a different tea cup, saucer and plate.
There is nothing quite like sipping tea
from a fine bone china cup
I'm sure you would agree!

This was my cup
with the most beautifully painted pattern
of a Spring garden.
The flowers are pink and white aubretia, bluebells
and yellow primroses in a rock garden.

I forgot to photograph the maker's stamp underneath
so I can't tell you the name or the company...
I searched Mr Google but didn't find an image
of this particular one -
can someone please tell me what it is?

Today I'm joining these tea parties
Ruth at Tuesday Cuppa Tea 
Terri at Tea Cup Tuesday
Bernideen at Friends Sharing Tea
Sandi at Tea Time Tuesday
Kathy at A Return to Loveliness
