We have had a lovely couple of days down at my Mum and Dad’s with my sisters and brother in attendance too. We don’t get to do that often enough so it was something to get rowdy about and celebrate. Get my parents, myself and family, and my three siblings together and life is bound to become a little colourful and LOUD.

I was serving up my daughter’s lunch at Mum and Dad’s yesterday when I was delighted to come across my childhood plate. I hadn’t seen it for many years (Mum just found it tucked away in a cupboard) but the memories all came flooding back as soon as I saw the little border of bluebirds, mice and mushrooms. I so vividly remember counting each little animal as I ate my meal and trying to decide which was my favourite. The bluebird most often won the title.

With it’s little bunny motif I thought it was a good post for this weekend. Isn’t it 70’s perfection? I am so grateful to my Mum for keeping little pieces of my baby-ness for me.

We are at home now waiting for friends to drop by for a wee ceilidh (a get together, for the non-Scots that read my blog), Poppy is suitably impressed by the chocolate left by the mystery Easter Bunny and we still have a whole day tomorrow to relax and soak up our togetherness. Life is beautiful and busy – just like a daisy.

Whatever your reasons for celebrating and relaxing this weekend, I hope you have a weekend surrounded by love and happiness.

With love from,
