flowersandstripes: glowed with flowers
http://flowersandstripes.blogspot.com/2013/05/glowed-with-flowers.html
Tuesday, 28 May 2013. Our final Jane Eyre floral spring quote. That bright May shone unclouded over the bright hills and beautiful woodland out of doors. Its garden, too, glowed with flowers: hollyhocks had sprung up tall as trees, lilies had opened, tulips and roses were in bloom; the borders of the little beds were gay with pink thrift and crimson double daisies; the sweetbriars gave out, morning and evening, their scent of spice and apples;'.

flowersandstripes: long mornings
http://flowersandstripes.blogspot.com/2013/06/long-mornings.html
Wednesday, 5 June 2013. June came in with fields of white clover, and Catherine spent long mornings in the open, reading to Audrey whilst Adam slept and the sunny countryside slept too, mile after undistinguished mile, all about them. Swifts swung overhead, blue church spires pricked the distance, the scent of clover was solid on the windless air.'. Elizabeth Cambridge Hostages to Fortune. Wednesday, June 05, 2013.

flowersandstripes: a dress so flowery
http://flowersandstripes.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-dress-so-flowery.html
Friday, 7 June 2013. A dress so flowery. Miss Marriot tying up the clematis and wearing a dress so flowery that many foiled bees buzzed angrily round her for a moment before going on to the less deceiving columbines.'. Mollie Panter-Downes It's the real thing this time in Good evening, Mrs Craven. I doubt I'll be wearing a dress like this. Friday, June 07, 2013. Saturday, 08 June, 2013. That dress is awesome, and the headscarf, necklace and bangles - you can wear jewellery! Sunday, 09 June, 2013. Lilac -...

Quiet Like Horses: Riding Off Into the Sunset
http://www.quietlikehorses.com/2015/05/riding-off-into-sunset.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. Riding Off Into the Sunset. Alan once told me, "It's easier to be brave when you have someone to be brave for. I try to be brave for you. Maybe it would help you to be brave for someone." I didn't really understand what he meant at the time, but when he was gone, I knew. I would be brave for Alan. I would live the beautiful life he'd made me promise I would. Posted by Sobrina Tung. What I talk about when I talk about cancer. May 31, 2015 at 4:21 PM. Love both of you guys so much!

flowersandstripes: breathing scents of roses
http://flowersandstripes.blogspot.com/2013/05/breathing-scents-of-roses.html
Tuesday, 21 May 2013. Breathing scents of roses. I've been having such an enjoyable potter in the garden last week and over the weekend. The roses aren't out yet but the buds are there and on Sunday the sky was glorious. I'm excited for the summer ahead. The garden was peaceful, breathing scents of roses and stocks. The sky was glorious as if a flight of angels had just passed over, sweeping wings of gold from end to end.'. Dorothy Whipple Someone at a distance. How is your garden? Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

Wednesday, 27 November 2013. Short favourite quotes as I read them but apart from that this is the last one. Mother sent me this just after Alice was born and it seems a fitting way to close. Will this flow of movement, sound and smell transform into the familiar face - the beloved Face - that makes sense of me? Wednesday, November 27, 2013. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://flowersandstripes.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 March 2013. The Month of March. Started with Twin and The Blessings coming to visit. Giant meatballs were eaten, new magimix and pie tin and cookery book used for Hummingbird Chocolate Pudding Pie. A visit to a newly discovered local park, hot cross buns for tea, delivery of more baby bits, much laughter and love. Mama and Papa Warmth to lunch the next day and a repeat menu. And apart from a sizing issue, they weren't too bad. Worth perfecting. We bought a print for TT's bedroom. A delightful&...
