Quite a few people have asked me recently how my Mum is doing after her awful accident last autumn. Since today is her birthday (Happy Birthday Mum!) I though I’d give you a quick update. She’s now out of her support collar completely and although she still has pain from an incompletely healed vertebrae in her back she is mobile and getting on with some of the activities that she’s always loved like country walks and she’s started driving again. She’s waiting to hear what the specialist advises about the problematic vertebrae and we’ve got our fingers crossed that it will heal without the need for further intervention. She’s been such an inspiration with her determination to recover quickly and I’m so proud that she’s kept going with such a positive attitude!

Anyway Mum, hope you’ve had a lovely day x

Lastly, I couldn’t go without mentioning that the lovely Jenny at Frazzy Dazzles is having a very cute giveaway at the moment

How could anyone not want to snuggle Sugar and Barley? To be in with a
chance, pop over quickly and leave a comment on her post before
Saturday 10pm (EST Australian time)

A generous slice of blue sky,

a quick splash of paddling pool action,

and a delicious dollop of knitting in the garden!

oh, happy day! Hope yours was a good one too!

…or so according to my friend's dad!

Although I do love red shoes, I'm not really a no-knickers kinda gal. In fact when it comes to pants my view is the larger and more comfortable the better (my g-string wearing days are definitely behind me!)

Anyway, swiftly moving on – my new red polka dot birkis have arrived to help me celebrate the onset of spring!

 

Enjoy the weekend!

PS: thanks for the shoe love! I got them from Birkenstock's online site.
