Beautiful Barbados Flowers

I don't know what the weather's like where you are but I could guess that it's cold and maybe raining or even snowing.

It's pretty miserable here with lots of grey days, rain and wind.

So my aim today is to brighten your day with a colourful post showing you some of the beautiful flowers I saw in Barbados.

Here goes!

Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed my photos and, don't forget, Spring is nearly here!

Thanks for popping by!

Our First Anniversary on the Beach!

I can't believe it's a year since we got married on the beach in Barbados.

Nor can I believe that it's already a week since we returned from a very relaxing three week holiday back there.

Of course we had to return to that beach again for our first anniversary!

We've had a wonderful holiday and it was lovely to spend time with Chris's parents, Dorothy and Bob.....

When I say relaxing, I mean relaxing!

On the beach....

enjoying many a rum punch...

dining out with friends.......

taking a dip in the pool....

catching up with friends at the fish fry.....

enjoying the beautiful blue skies....

and the gorgeous flowers.....

and the colours.....

meeting friends for lunch....

 enjoying a good old English breakfast!!.....

some crocheting of course.....

and watching the beautiful sunsets.....

We didn't want our holiday to end but when we arrived home it was lovely to see our two fur babies..... Spencer.....

and Max....... 

......as we had missed them so much!

Thank you for visiting!

Yes it was Barbados!.....and Back to Reality.....

Firstly a very big well done to Bebby for guessing my holiday destination!

 

Yes it was beautiful Barbados!!

Oh those sun loungers are beckoning.....

 

.......shall we lie in the sun?

Or sit in the shade of the palm tree?....

Or shall we go for a dip in that warm turquoise sea?.........

 

(So looking forward to seeing your photos, Bebby! :) )

 

If you're not having Barbados temperatures where you are, check out Bebby's Etsy shop, BebbyJumpers, for cosy wristwarmers (and other quality baby, children's and adult handknits).

 

Remember these pretty wristwarmers I treated myself to last year?

 

Well.....they were made by Bebby....

 

 

So cosy and warm.....

 

Attempting to get back to some sort of reality/normality after my wonderful holiday, last week I ordered in some new fabrics for my shop.....

 

.....here they are.....

 

'Sophie' cotton.....vintage pink roses on pink.....

 

 

'Proud as a Peacock' cotton......peacock feathers on teal....

 

 

Campervan cotton......on turquoise.....

 

 

And back in stock...... the very pretty 'Lula' roses on red.......

 

 

All these fabrics are available for £6.99 per metre (plus postage) in my eBay shop, Daisy Patchwork, here. They will also be available on my Etsy and Folksy shops very soon.....

 

Mmmm....time for another Rum Punch?

 

 

Maybe not....it's 7am in the morning ;)

 

See you soon,

Maggie xx
