Happy Easter to everyone out there in Blogland.  I have been so spoilt by such lovely springtime blogs recently.  You are putting me to shame!

I've had a very busy few weeks.  Work has started to overrun my life, so I need to take the power back (as they say   .... not sure who) and get a grip on my own reality, as work isn't really real is it?  At least it doesn't feel like it is once I get home.

I hope everyone had a lovely long Easter weekend.  I certainly did.  Here's just a few little snippets of what I got up to.

1) I opened up my Apples for Jam book and actually made a real-life cake...

Mmm and very yummy it was too.  Just vanilla flavour.  But simple is often the best.

2) Went to Waddesdon Manor...

Our first Natural Trust dayout of 2007.  The gardens are inspiring, so...

3) I took stock of our garden...

What needed to be done?  I decided on a little bit of everything here there and everywhere!

4) So I rummaged through the undergrowth...

5)  Planted some flowers (in not so subtle colours)...

6) Made a sweetpea wigwam, and the boyfy planted some veggies in the veggie patch...

7) Played with the cattykins...

He isn't really the most red-eyed, fattiest, monster catty in the world. It's just pure fluff, honestly!

8) Hmm and what was that other thing?  Erm.  Oh, oh yeah, I got engaged...

;o)

Thanks for popping by my blog and delurking!

I like that non subtle pink - very glamorous, very Schiaperelli.

I also like the look of your enormous cat.

Wow, congratulations! Surely that's your fiance in the garden then?!! I got engaged too this weekend but am really struggling to get a picture of the ring, how did you manage such a clearly focused beauty? It's a lovely ring by the way. We can compare wedding plans!

Yayyyy! Must be something in the air, lots of bloggy engagements going on! Shame I'm already married, I wonder if he wants to do it again?! Garden is looking good after your hard work by the way.

Congrats!
