Sometimes it's a good thing to wake up slightly earlier than normal. Tis the season of beautiful sunrises.

I've not done any sewing for a while and I've never done the thing of shortening jeans and putting the original hems back on so I'm quite pleased with how it worked out. And only a few swear words!
Brand new jeans bought for £2.50 in a charity shop can now be worn.

I'm very glad there's a bench almost at the top of our hill that I can perch on for 10 minutes before the hard steep bit to our house.
And it's a nice day today too.

Before and after. Mr B has worked so hard this weekend to update our hallway. I'm really pleased with the colour which gives it a bit more oomph.

I have this watercolour of a tin of syrup up in my kitchen that I actually got from someone I followed on X. Similar vibe. Quirky. I love it too.

We went out to a pub that we've not been to before with our friends which was almost exactly half way between our house and theirs.
Great food.
This was my dessert - totally #GF and totally delicious!

I treated myself to some new perfume. It was made by @joannechocolat.bsky.social with this perfume company to represent the main protagonist of her Chocolat series of books Vianne. It smells amazing!

We had a trip out to Sissinghurst yesterday and it was delightful. So many different flowers - and the aromas!

Mr B is working like a trooper to get the bedroom decorated. It's tricky because the furniture has to be moved around.
