things that are making me smile

valentines carrot cakes - recipe from Lucy at Attic 24, try it, it's heavenly. thank you Lucy. xx



daffodils in a vase, I'm not usually a fan of yellow, but these can't help but make me smile.




daffodils, carrot cake, and a pretty mug, a quiet moment stolen away from the half term mayhem.



my winter jasmine flowering, it hadn't flowered for 4 years, and last summer I dumped the pot out on the deck and gave it a strong talking to, and then left it out till at least November when I felt sorry for it, and brought in back in. and lo and behold, we have flowers, not many, but the scent is heady, and intense.



and finally a stack of shiny new cake tins, all ready to be filled with cake.

    Lovely lovely pics today - I know what you mean about yellow - a spot bright for me but in daffs and aconites it just makes me very smiley. There are rather a lot of cheery daffs around blogland this week.

    Those cakes really so look yummy, and rather pretty too - just discovered Attic24 - what a lovely place to visit.

    Ms. T, that is the best mug in the entire universe. I LOVE it. I'll be right over to sit in that nice wicker chair by the window, where I will sip tea from that mug and gobble up a whole bunch of those little cakes.

    Daffodils seem to get away with being yellow...if you know what I mean?!
