sweet thoughts & scents

with the cold snap, we have both woodburners lit, the feather duvet is on the bed, and so we are toasty warm. it feels and looks a bit like the waltons...remember them ?

surprisingly, yesterday afternoon, i was outdoors and felt real heat in the sun, lovely.....and snapped a late in the season bee checking out my white pansies in the windowboxes. he seemed to be very busy, as bees always are, and very happy buzzing from flower to flower in the warm french sunshine.


i planted the window boxes in a very simple style - white pansies (pensées here in france, meaning 'thoughts') and rosemary. i love white flowers and blossoms. they are so pure and so simple. 
these little pansies are very sweetly scented and i love to touch the rosemary to release its herby scent - the two scents go together beautifully. it is delightful to 'visit' them just to have a sweet sniff.


the window boxes are complimented by extremely weather beaten, rather wonkey, old shutters. i find them charming !



wishing you sunny, sweet thoughts today. 
talk to you very soon...
a tres bientot
