Weekly what:nots...

How has your week been? Thanks for hanging in there in my absence! I'm still striving to achieve the sense of calm in this image. And with our things from New Zealand arriving next week I think it may be a while. The new place is great though - it has a really lovely feel to it, and given that it is four times the size of our last place we have oodles of space. Mind you trying to round up two dreamy eleven-year-olds on school mornings has proved a challenge, but I figure all the running up and down flights of stairs is good for one's fitness. Anyhoo I hope all is well in your neck of the woods and the past week has been kind to you.

Love this image of Phoebe Philo from The Trend Report.

Weekly what:nots...

Ever so slowly signs of spring are appearing - bulbs popping up, the occasional tree in blossom, increasing birdsong, fleeting sunshine, and of course lots of spring rain. The past week has been a funny old one (kind of slouchy and ponderous), but I did sneak out to Toro Bravo (yum) with a friend, plus rode twice which is always a good thing. I hope your week was a good one and that your weekend is going along nicely.
