My simple pleasures of the week....
Having a chutney-making day - using ingredients I already had plus some green tomatoes from the garden...
Knitting a tea cosy for a small teapot ...
 |
| Teapot 50p charity shop, wool from my stash |
Blooming roses in the garden, not decimated by
rain...
 |
| Rosa 'Life Begins at 40' |
 |
| Rosa 'The Pilgrim' |
Baking my favourite double-chocolate brownies on the cheap...
 |
| Sainsbury's Basics Chocolate 30p a bar |
And...
...getting all the washing dry on the line.
(Sad but true; it's a simple pleasure for me. In my opinion tumble-dryers should be un-invented. As should plug-in air fresheners...grrrr....just open your windows and get some fresh air circulating...whinge over...)
Hope you're finding some simple pleasures in your week too...x
I am also with you on simple pleasures,,,I love your tea cozy that is simply prescious..

What a pretty tea-cosy! My simple pleasure has been drawing back the curtains and seeing blue sky. Oh - and not going to work!!! Jx
ReplyDeleteOoh I love simple pleasures and I'm with you on the air freshener front!

I'm with you on the washing drying on the line. One of my simple pleasures at this time of year is watering the garden, tubs and baskets with a hose (we don't have a ban) at about 7 o'clock in the morning and then just sitting out there with a cup of coffee listening to the birds and the sound of the water falling off the plants and seeing them glistening in the sunlight.

The best things in life are free ... or almost! Look at the pleasure you've got and given to others by spending very little. When I'm particularly hard up, I clean my house from top to bottom, pick flowers from the garden and bake a cake for tea. It's cost nothing practically but it makes me feel rich!

Hi Sally, this is a lovely post! I have bought some of that chocolate in Sainsburys to have a go at making some choc brownies for us.X
ReplyDeleteDouble chocolate Brownies..delish!! I really like the tea cosy you made as well, very pretty :) You have been busy..
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about many simple pleasures is that they are often free - birdsong, the rustle of leaves, a sunny day and, priceless, a smile or a kind word, so many to choose from.
ReplyDeleteLove the teacosy and the brownies sound scrumptious.

Very impressed with your tea cosy and chutney looks fab. I'm going to hold off drooling after chocolate brownies at the moment as I can't bake anything as the oven's died.
