ah sweet saturday


I have a feeling I've used this pic before, if so, sorry - but I just had to go with this pink and red geranium arrangement. See, I've finally filled the planter boxes on our living room window with planter pots filled with alternating red and pink geraniums. At the moment they're just cuttings from my mother-in-law's garden, but once they fill out they'll be transporting me back to France every single time I look out the window.

Bliss.

We might need to do some gardening today. I wanted to head off on a roadtrip, but we might save that for next weekend. Tomorrow it's my father-in-law's birthday and we're off to Maitland to go out to lunch - that might have to sate my roadtrip urge for the moment.

What's on your agenda this weekend?

  3. Happy weekend. We are pottering today... in the garden and the kitchen.

    A lunch date tomorrow to soak up the last day of school holidays. It's sunshiny in our little part of the world.

  4. I love getting cuttings from other people - adds a bit more meaning, don't you think?
    This weekend? Checking out everyone else's Pinterest - and pinning like mad - for ideas for house and garden - and anything else that takes my fancy.
    How about Morpeth for you? - such a lovely place.
    Enjoy your weekend xx

    1. Oooh, good thinking about Morpeth, haven't visited there in a while. I wish it still had the gorgeous nursery - might have to stop at Heritage Gardens to fill in some gaps.

      How's the house inspiration going? Can't wait to see what you come up with. x

    1. There's a house up the road that has lemon geraniums in the front garden. I can't help but lean over and rub the leaves whenever I walk past!

  6. So lovely in pots, geraniums.
    We're painting and painting, and more painting. All together as a family though which is a nice change.

  7. We did the roadtrip thing today - it was too nice to stay at home! We headed to the Bays (Nelson, Shoal and Fingal) and had a picnic, a couple of gorgeous, sunny hours on the beach, some playground action for the boys and gelato. It was great to get away from normal weekend chores and just hang out with the family. Hope you get to have your roadtrip next weekend.

  8. Oooo I love the pink and red combo... and geraniums are quite lovely, the only thing that disappoints me about them is their scent, or lack there of it, something so pretty surely needs a better scent than that.
    Hope you have a lovely lunch with the fam tomorrow, let's hope the sunshine holds out for it xo
