Celebrate #4

A day late but the crew over at:
are a forgiving bunch so just in brief these are my cause for celebration this week:

Less than a week to the return of my DD back from Australia after 7 months - I just can't quite believe it!!

Great success with the Charity Garden Party I helped organise this week - see yesterday's post for more photos and details


I finished decorating the spare room where the ceiling came down - more in my upcoming Creative Monday post!!

Also celebrating a long Bank Holiday weekend here in England with my parents coming over for a couple of days too which will be lovely :)

Hoping everyone else is having a wonderful weekend & now I'm off to do that last bit of tidying up before guests arrive!

What does your weekend hold?  Why not join in and say what you're celebrating this week?

  1. Pempi -- Oh, you are in England! I knew it was not the US but I'm not sure I ever realized which country. The garden party looks lovely! Enjoy your time with your DD. It is Memorial Day weekend in the US.

    1. I know what you mean - if the weather is sunny I should be out tackling my garden so sometimes a rain shower is a welcome relief! Have a lovely, lazy weekend, Joanne :)

  4. I would be so excited to see my daughter after 7 months! I'll bet your garden party was super fun! Why do they call it a Bank Holiday? Have a fun weekend!

    1. Hi Paula :) In the late Victorian times, banks closed on certain weekdays during the year and as trading couldn't take place without the banks they became holidays for everyone. This also became customary in England for the middle classes to begin to go on holiday - normally to the seaside for that long weekend :)

    1. I will be so happy to see her but I think she'll probably fall asleep in the car on the way back from the airport as she'll have been travelling for almost 40 hours coming back from Tasmania via Brisbane and Dubai!!

  7. Sounds like a lot of things to celebrate this week. Your charity garden party looks great, hope it went really well for you.

    And I'm looking forward to seeing your repair work, it was looking pretty good when you last shared it.

    Enjoy having all of your family together. :-)
