Mountains, Mugs...

and hApPy things...


Hello my lovlies and how are you this week?

It's been cold here and just when I thought Spring was on it's way

she disappeared and left her friend Mr. Winter with us.

Myself. Mr. Raindrops  Teenager Raindrops and 2 crazy dogs went walking
 It was bitterly cold and I wrapped up well
I looked like someone attempting to climb Mount Everest
 but better to be  safe than sorry right?!

We had beautiful views of the Wicklow mountains
 and even though I moaned about the cold it was worth it.

On Saturday it started to snow and as it was quite heavy
I decided to go to the supermarket and do all my  shopping
just in case we were stranded without anything to eat for the week,
it looked lovely

but sure when I came out with a trolley load of shopping
it was gone....

✴✵✴✻✵

Do you like grocery shopping?
I don't....

take the food off the shelves
put it into the trolley
take the food out of the trolley
 and put it on the conveyor belt
put it back into the trolley
take the bags out of the trolley
and put them into the car
take the bags out of the car
and take them into the house
take the food out of the bags
and put it into the cupboards
.... agghh time for tea!!!!

✴✵✴✻✵

Anyway when I was food shopping  I bought a new book
just to make the job more appealing

I haven't started it yet but it sounds promising

it's a story about mothers and daughters 

and I'm looking forward to tucking into it when I get some "me" time.

Look at this shop isn't it just so pretty
they have the most wonderful Spring flowers on show
and sure you couldn't help but smile at the bright colours and the gorgeous scent...


and so
 I had to buy....

 pretty white hyacinths for the kitchen,

 romantic and dreamy...

I also have some tulip bulbs in a basket that I bought a few weeks ago

the label said they were white but they seem to be a very orangey shade of white...

During the week I spotted (!)  some pretty  mugs in a discount shop

and they were only €1.49 each!

The boys don't like these ones (whew!!!!) as they are too small

that suits me as it means they wont be using them!

   

 I enjoy  drinking out of china cups or mugs and I don't like them too big either

if I'm making tea I always use a teapot

 I don't think the tea tastes as nice from a teabag in a cup.

My kids think I'm bonkers

 but I suppose we all have our funny little ways don't we?

Or maybe it's just me......

What do you think?

Anyway happy weekend to you all
and remember...
