A couple of days by the seaside and I am back at the helm at home. We arrived back home to some very wet weather which thankfully hadn't made it over the mountains to the beach while we were there.
My daffodils are starting to bloom. They are stunning and I am trying to establish a patch in a meadow type of effect. It takes some time but I can see them multiplying each year.
The daffodils really are not stunning when wet. They seem to be a little sad but they will come good when the sun comes back out.
I can't think of many better things to be doing on a dark and wet day than to sit with a hot cuppa and a couple of new seed catalogues from two of my favourite places to buy seeds,
Diggers and
Eden Seeds. It's nice to come home from a trip to mail that is not a bill. I already have a few seed varieties in mind to buy for the upcoming spring planting.
It did rain overnight while we were at the coast. That type of rain though doesn't give the flowers a sodden and sad look like my poor daffs. I think it added to the gorgeousness of this salmon pink hibiscus.
There was a little bit of swimming while we were away but it was restricted to those under 18 who don't seem to feel the cold (I only managed to go in up to my ankles). Fishing was popular with everyone though. Hope was the best of the anglers. She caught five fish with her unique fishing style and is so keen now, she even baits her own hook. All the fish went back into the water alive and without too much stress (I hope).
Now though it is definitely back to normal routine. The girls go back to school on Monday and Tom is returning to Sydney next week too.
