Parrot Tulips
Planted some tulip bulbs in pots. Kept them in the conservatory and when they started to flower I brought them in and placed them on a windowsill. They have been flowering one after the other for over a month! I think I prefer them to other pot plants, the leafy variety such as my begonia looks rather sad in comparison. I am now waiting for the scented freesias to bloom in two pots.

Winnie the Pooh Bathroom
[image error]My three little friends are moving because my downstairs toilet room is being re-decorated. I think it’s time to change the theme. My eldest grandson is over twenty years old and researching something or other at Cardiff University and my eldest Granddaughter is at Uni. doing Media Studies. It is time to change!
I’ll let you into a secret – I chose the theme because I’m a Pooh follower! Not only that, I like Paddington bear also. To tell you the truth I like these children’s stories. Are they old fashioned, like me? I’m not keen on modern realistic stories and their garish illustrations!
So now I have purchased some wheelie bin stickers and the new theme will include mainly butterflies, bees, squirrels, daffodils and tulips.
I shall miss smiling at Tigger when I’m sitting on the throne!

Snowdrops
The weather has been so terrible that I have not been able to walk to the top of my garden. Louise took the dogs up and kindly took some photos for me. It was frosty that day so the flowers looked frozen. Mungo had to show us up by sitting on the Snowdrops!!! The other three mooched around sniffing for mice in the woodpiles. I shall be pleased when I can walk up there again and enjoy the views of the donkey sanctuary and Culver Cliff. On a fine day I can see ships sailing in the Solent. I can always dream of being on a CRUISE LINER sailing to warmer climes.
