Weekly photo challenge: spring
Spring has arrived and it’s time to get our little house in order for the season. There are floors to be swept, windows to be cleaned, bed linen to be aired and cobwebs to be gently coaxed from nooks and crannies. Dandelions are taking over the garden, while inside is long overdue its annual coat of white emulsion paint.
Although I made a start over Easter, on-going ill health is holding me back from tackling a proper spring clean. It’s nothing very serious but has been enough to knock the stuffing out of me and has prevented me from spending much time on the island so far this year. So while spring is making her presence felt, breathing new life into all around me, all I can do for now is count one-a-clock, two-a-clock …and plan and day-dream about more energetic days ahead spent gallivanting, taking photos and creating. Oh, and there’ll be scrubbing galore too… but all in good time.

Dear Patsy, sorry to hear that you have been ill! Due to my own absence, I am coming into this conversation four weeks late, but hope that you are feeling much better by now! I know how much you love Sherkin Island and that you’d miss it if you can not retreat to it regularly.
Thanks A, it has been a long haul but I’m fine now! Looking forward to spending more time on the island in the coming weeks.
How are things, Patsy? I hope everything is fine at your end. Now I am ill. Not sure yet to what extent. Will find out more soon.
Hi Andelieya, a very belated response to say that all is well and thank you for your recent comments and visits. It’s high time I popped back to WP. So much has been going on that I have managed to squeeze it out of my life, but I hope to catch up with everyone soon.
Patsy, rest and get your strength back, take care, Frances
Please visit my new blog, hope you like it 🙂

thank you so much dear 🙂
Speediest recovery and remember that cleaning can wait!!!
Thank you, Jean. I’ll bounce back any day now.
Don’t worry about cleaning its a never ending cycle anyhow. I hope you are feeling much better very soon. Make tea from those dandelions maybe!! 🙂 k
Mizz Winkens… I may just start brewing up! 🙂
Hello Patsy … nothing like pegged out laundry blowing in the wind to make one feel that little bit wholesome and fresh …. I hope your energy levels begin to soar along with clouds dandelion seeds and Spring spirits xx
PS You’re probably too young – but your photo reminded me of the proud new mama feeling with the first lot of Harrington terry towelling nappies flapping like flags on the washing line … baby bunting Lol
‘Baby bunting’ is so lovely. I never had ‘the pleasure’ of terry cloth nappies but I do love to peg the laundry out and breathe in that lovely sun-dried scent.
Hope you soon get to feeling 100% better, P. Spring is the best time of year to heal and renew and strengthen!
Thank you for your good wishes, Maureen. It’s been eight weeks now so enough’s enough 🙂
Hoping you a speedy recovery, just take your time and little by little gets it done x
Thanks Cath. Px
Sending you strength and good health to enable you enjoyment!
Thanks Dale, I’m an impatient patient… 🙂
Hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy the cottage.
Thank Deb, I really hope so too as this has been going on for far too long.
