Busy, busy, busy............

Well, as you can probably tell from the lack of posts we've been a tad busy here at Primrose Hill. What with those cute little chicks to drool over daily, we've not been handling them much, but there has been the odd little cuddle! It's been a tad busy with the business and the garden has been keeping us both out of mischief in all of our spare minutes!

Do you remember this post? Well here's where we are with this little project, looking a lot smarter, wouldn't you agree? Still a bit of fencing to be done and the wild flower seeds to be sown, but I am rather loving my new gate!
Lots going on in the garden and the greenhouse, these arrived in the garden this weekend....

........what do you think? they'll make great sweetpea and cornflower supports. They were hay stooks in a previous life, nothing better than a bit of recycling in the garden.

In my last post I showed you some of our pruchases at the market, well one of the buckets is planted up at the front door with marguerites, very welcoming with all those friendly little daisy heads bobbing around! And yes, that is a little pot of violas hiding beside it from way back in March when I potted them up for the Country Living Fair, still flowering away, healthy as ever!

Well, I'm off to the post office with another order and I really must catch up on all those e-mails that I owe you all, especially this lady, your parcel will be in the post this week, I promise!

This week

It has been over a week since I last posted due to the madness here at Primrose Hill Headquarters! The phone never stopped ringing last week with orders, so I owe a huge thank you to Country Living Magazine!

As promised, I have an update on the "stove fitting"! Gregg has been working really hard at it, and has now got all the pointing finished on the wall that will be behind the stove. He's taken it back to the original wall and will be lime washing it next week hopefully. He's off to dig out a couple of flag stones for the hearth, they are currently located in the floor of a beautiful dutch barn not far from us.

Here's a picture of the chimney sweep last week, looking very "Mary Poppins!" and the fire place in it's current state!

This is little Lexie, the younger of our two cats, she's a little madam, but very cute and adorable! She's very good at keeping me company these days when she's not getting up to mischief!

Well, I'd better get on with some more sewing, more orders to get out today. Thank you all for your kind comments about the updated web site and for all the orders, you've certainly kept me busy over the last couple of weeks!

Hopefully the next update will be of the stove in working order, fingers crossed!
