A day of pottering

We have been having a very relaxed and comforting day of pottering about today. Cameron chose to have a break from having his picture taken so I'm sharing a few images from my own day.
I'm so grateful to have discovered the habit of blogging for so many reasons, but particularly that it makes me stop, look and be more mindful of the everyday beauty around me. I'm having a lot fun trying to capture it to share with others and learning new photography skills in the process (although I'm sure my efforts with the camera so far are only the tip of the iceberg).

We popped into town this morning to return some library items and everything just seemed to be so autumnally inspiring, much to my delight of course!



Chinese lantern plant from the market which was quite expensive (in relative local market plant terms) but already worth it for the joy it has given me


Shiny apples in a bowl


There were amazing baskets of gourds at the florists this morning. This one came home with us to add to our ever growing seasonal nature table


Fantastic pasta, striped with natural colourings which will be served up this evening with home made, Jamie Oliver inspired, tuna meatballs


I hope you managed to find some beauty and joy in your day too.

  2. Thanks Maire!
    We used to get fancy varieties of pasta from a local independent italian shop in town but they closed down recently due to the economy being the way it is :o( We found these ones at TK Maxx of all places! Pricey but nice for a change and a treat. They had several varieties, we bought these and another kind that have my favourite black ones - coloured with squid ink!
