I really wish I could take pictures like this…

A fine stripe, sweaty collar and a jaunty yellow? Must be an August wedding.

An absolute favourite Fab Four tune, indulge me tippity tap the record and play.

A fine pair of shoes. O’s new Great Gatsby trotters. They do great girls ones too.

Good things today…

1. Tussie Mussies for a fashion show.
2. Raspberry beret school bags
3. Discussing (avert your eyes) a colour themed wedding.

Flower shop shoes. Want, will and may well wobble…

Red dahlias and childish reads.

Out and about on my bike with old cameras.

Smile!

Wednesday is all about discovering like-minded friends.

Realising that Victoriana isn’t all about mustachioed men.

And feasting on floral fascinators and favourite films.

Us flower girls are always collecting various stemmed ephemera and my heart’s a patter for Hugo Guiness and his fabulous frames… perfect for a grey barn wall. xxx

Pondering a life in France, could we should we? Apres vous…

Fellas, every girl dreams of flowers over a porch…even us frenchy florists. And as a front door in Normandy beckons…I wonder, rambling roses, old dutch or wysteria? xxx

Most definitely the colour purple and a week at home in france and dreaming of a flower shop as aussi belle que mes amis in Paris. Taxidermy and tulips Tim?

Plotting barn conversions, feasting on Eila’s blog, Ma’s treats and cooking in the guise of Eliabeth David..

Lusting after visits to the Loire, family recipes, traiteurs and beetroots.

See it’s not all Bonne Maman, Amelie and onions. xxx

Leaving wedding banter, Maman du Bride, Normandy Sissinghurst plans and Herve the gardener behind…I felt like poor Chipie.

But promply plumply, promptly… found myself down cobbled streets in the comfort of my friend Marc’s lovely shop for, oh dear, impromptu bouttoniere banter. xxx
