Tidying the garden in warm, dappled sunlight ...
Repainting her shed ...
Mending and replacing,
broken and wind strewn fencing ...
Little man quietly occupied,
with tiny rubber bands,
making bracelets and charms ...
the latest craze!
Little man surprising his great aunt with pretty flowers ...
Packing a picnic
and heading for the hills ...
Leafing through 'Persiana',
her new favourite cookbook.
and then settling down with a novel ...
... whilst the boys play.
She couldn't join in as she has torn her calf muscle ...
and it hurts ... a lot!
And for Father's Day,
a very clever card from Mr VJ's little 3 year old grandson ...
Good job he likes chocolate!

A torn calf muscle? OUCH! Well then, a good novel is in order and watching the boys play is a good balm for the soul. What a lovely post, and me too...I am painting, cleaning, enjoying the wind whisp through the white curtains in my covered patio while I read novel after novel. BLISS!
That card is great. Hope your leg feels better soon.

Oh my goodness, the card, pure brilliance!
That card is absolutely fantastic, what a clever idea! Sorry to hear about your calf, I can imagine it hurts like hell as when I was about 14 I tore ligaments in my ankle (a smaller problem than yours) but oh did it hurt for ages, and I'm sorry to say that that old wives tale about things like that giving you twinges years later when the weather changes is true for me. Hope you make a speedy recovery. x
Brilliant card and I love those terracotta pots!
Get those feet back up..
What a lovely life you lead , apart from the torn calf muscle. I did that once, by slipping whilst coming down a steep hill and its really uncomfortable :( I do hope you heal very quickly, take care and make sure you get spoilt rotten !! xxxx
I just love that sweetie-bar card! What a great idea.
Loving your shed! Hope that calf mends super fast. Cx
How amazing is that chocaholic card? My son would love that. he is the only person I know who could polish off a 1 kg bar at one sitting!
Love your shed and pots! Lovely pictures, and such a neat and creative card!! So fun! :) Hope you have a wonderful day! xo Holly

Ouch, heal soon, sounds painful. Love the card made, that is so sweet. My daughters love these bracelets too :) Hope you have a great day doll xx
I hope that your leg is better soon! I love the fathers day card, how fantastic is that!! You have a great collection of terracotta pots as well! xx
Hope your injury is soon on the mend Marina - someone has been inspired and very thoughtful in the making of the Father's Day card - I bet Papa was delighted.
Looks like you've been a busy bee in the garden, the shed looks great and I like all those terracotta pots! Sorry to hear you're suffering, sounds very painful, and a good reason to sit and read a lovely new cookbook - hope it gets better quickly.
Brilliant Father's Day card!

Those bright bracelets remind of the Scooby doo bracelets and key rings we made as children in the 60s/70s, does anyone else remember them? Hope your leg heals quickly.

Brilliant card! Get well soon, I loved your post, but then I always do. xx
Hello Marina, I left a comment a while ago but didn’t stay long enough to check it posted – if it didn’t I’m sorry! The ‘phone rang, and I dashed off to deal with something else…
I loved this post, as I always do. Barbara
What a beautiful day. Sorry about the torn muscle- ouch! Loved seeing the wonderfully creative card.
I hope the calf muscle mend well ~ ouch.
Love the little shed and little mans bracelets !!
Oh my does the candy wrappers in the Fathers day card bring back SWEET memories of when I was a young girl in the U.K. I would die for some of those English sweets again ~ they are far superior to the ones here in the U.S. !
Love your shed revamp! Wish I could join you at the fairs but sadly I'm too far away! :) x
What a super creative idea!
I can see how this can be applied to a wide range of events
Best wishes
Jenny
