It's very difficult when you first start blogging!
What to start off with? What pictures to put on?
Well - let's give it a go!
While half the world are gearing up for Summer, and relishing in the Spring days, watching flowers rear their pretty little heads, some of us in Africa are looking forward to Winter.
Living near the coast, the temperatures are a lot less harsh, and the guage never goes below 16 degrees Celcius! We still find these mild temps freezing!
Durban has never experienced snow, and I can't remember a frosty morning ever!
We don't ever have to cover our potplants or bring them indoors, in actual fact - my plants love winter too!
Hydrangeas are by far my most favoured flower, but due to the poor soil conditions in our garden, and partly due to my laziness, I have never grown them.
I had a friend who lived in Hillcrest, and her Hydrangeas were a picture! I never left their house without arm loads of blooms!
As far as I know, these glorious flowers like cooler conditions, and I have to say - I have never seen any coastal properties with an abundance of them.
Taking of coastal homes.
I love the natural beauty of these homes. The earthy colours which taken from nature ......... inspire me to lighten, brighten and recondition my home to let in the beauty which surrounds us.
I love fabrics, textures, wood, grains, stones, flowers, and anything which is natural. Hessian, jute and old coffee or grain sacks are another one of my loves.
There's so many ways they can be added to your decor - it's mind blowing!
My niece, who lives in the UK, just recently bid on eBay on dozens of old coffee sacks, and won them. Now she's looking for ways to use them. I have so many ideas!
