TARRAGON & THYME

That make all the difference and often give the most pleasure. Since having a session re-pairing hair slides and pieces of jewellery the other week I have been rootling round the Internet for new posts for ear-rings and new barrette clips both items needed to repair a few items that are still basically okay apart from broken clips or posts; and I must say I have a lot of expensive ear-rings which although old and well worn where the posts have broken off but that where the ear-ring part is okay - so salvageable.  I have managed to find the items I want and an order has been put together and sent off so that said items can be fixed and put back into use again.  That makes me feel good as I am not wasting things just for the sake of a little tlc and time.

Its my birthday today and it has been gloriously sunny and warm here in Peterborough and I have been at work all day.  Everyone should get their birthday off  you should not have to work it.  However if I had of booked the day off it would have rained down all day.  It has however not been too bad a day - I have had a scuttle full of birthday cards, and some lovely presents and lots of messages on Facebook and emails  from family and friends.  I had a lovely walk into work this morning in bright sunshine and the cherry blossom is out in full force.  I pass three trees on the way there and until three days ago there was not a flower to be seen tight buds yes and in the past couple of days it has come out in force with large sprays of the lovely pink blossoms and reminded me of the piece of music Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White.  The Cherry Tree in the garden is also in full  of wonderful white blossoms.  I am hoping I get to the ...
