Morning! The morning after a Today’s Special Value launch is always a slow one, I\u2019m not a night owl and even back in the days when I used to sing, I’ve always struggled with going to bed late. Saying that, this morning\u2019s sunshine was a joy to wake up to! I even managed to sit outside with my coffee and Kindle. Yes, Kindle! I know, I never thought you would hear me say that, as I\u2019ve always been a pen and paper girl, I still use a Filofax and I still love to turn pages. However, I have stumbled upon the virtues of the Kindle, and as one of my goals for 2022 is to read one classic per month, it really helps as the app is also on my phone, which means I can pick up and read whenever I have a few minutes to spare, whereas it’s typical that the physical copy is often where I\u2019m not when I get a few mins spare. I just finished George Orwell\u2019s 1984 this morning. Boy, oh boy, did he get a few things right! It\u2019s terrifying! By the way, in this picture I\u2019m wearing the White Stuff<\/strong> Annie shirt<\/a>, which comes in various colours, my daughters old jeans and the Vionic<\/strong> high-top trainers<\/a> I talked about in my last blog – still loving them!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I am so looking forward to spring. I don\u2019t know about you, but I bought a few exciting pieces during our gardening event last weekend. I\u2019ve done loads of pruning and tidying in the garden and can\u2019t wait to see all the plants and bulbs come to life. Although, behind me, I\u2019ve got a hideous bramble that I fight every year to keep away from the rose. I\u2019ve got tulips popping up everywhere in beds, and other shoots that I can\u2019t even remember what they were, so that will be a lovely surprise too. We have decided to grow passion flower up the back of the house and so I popped them into this planter (here\u2019s a similar one<\/a>) along with a few flowers I picked up in the garden centre and some daff bulbs that I found sprouting in a plastic bag that I had forgotten about. The flowers were already out, so fingers crossed they survive!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

So, a little bit more gardening for me today as my planters\u00a0<\/a>from the garden event have just arrived and then tomorrow I\u2019m back in for the Laura Geller<\/strong> Springtime Essentials TSV<\/a>, so I look forward to seeing you then. In the meantime, I hope you get kissed by some sunshine over the next few days.<\/p>\n

Love as always,<\/p>\n

Pipa xx<\/p>\n
