:: Ancient thrifted magazines with beautiful covers (1938!)
:: Chalk pictures on the patio
:: Lazy afternoons on the river bank, just footsteps from our back door, with the steam train trundling by. 
:: Sweet Williams back on the greengrocer's stall. Beautiful shades of summer that last ages and ages and for just £1.20 a bunch.
:: A £5 vintage mirror and a thrifed embroidery for 50p that are brightening up the sitting room. 
:: Luscious lupins blooming in the garden.
:: Falling asleep to the sound of tractors rumbling up and down the village fields, bringing in the spring silage.

What a lovely account of your week! I love the last photo with the fields and the tractor.
Thanks for sharing your week with us. What lovely simple pleasures there are, if we just look!
I have been lurking in your blog for a while now, and love the fact that you share so many interests which I also share. I once lived in the UK and your blog keeps me in touch with that lovely spot too.
That sounds like my kind of week!! Forget the seaside - I'm a country girl born and bred!!
I am also very jelous of your lupins - mine have come up to be weeny little things!!

Ah, what a lovely idyllic setting you seem to live in, lucky you! Great magazine cover and loving the lupins, of course. Must get some sweet william, they are ridiculously reasonable, aren't they? Here's to a long glorious summer, Steph!

Oh lovely sweet williams - the blue jug sets them off perfectly. Love that Girl's own garden too! If only my borders would organise themselves that way and only a bit of pottering with a trug required! t.x
What a lovely blog... found you, via pinkfeather, and had to have a nose at what you were about. Smashing photos, nice things, cute boys!! Beware, they grow up!
I too have Lupin envy. I went for a very tasetful looking pale cream species (Chandelier I think it is called) but it literally pales into insignificance at the side of yours. Noted in my gardening journal for next year.
Bliss, what a cheerful post.
£5 vintage mirror is a bargain!
I love comiong into your chocolate box world honey, it's always so full of beautiful things and pictures.
Thanks for brightening my day with all your loveliness.
Hugs,

Oh what a lovely post. I love your sweet williams and the little jug they are sitting in is gorgeous too. Also love the tractor trails across the hilly field! Thanks for sharing! Lucy x
tomorrow I'm off to buy Sweet Williams .... you have a gorgeous view from your window ,,, maybe one day I'll show you mine !!
Love your new banner Steph. All of them have been great, so no favourites, just dreamy looking at sheets blowing in the breeze. Magazine are fabulous too.

Love your photos and snippets of your life in the English countryside. My mother has the Christmas Carol magazine, the exact same one! --Angie from Washington State, U.S.A.
Aren't they beautiful magazine covers?
Your blog is very very pretty and a joy to visit.
lovely dreamy post, i love the magazines and mirror!!
great pics! I do love the covers of the books. They really don't do covers like they used to. Old covers are really such great works of art aren't they?
Looks like a wonderful week... I wish my lupins looked like that... unfortunately the slugs seem to have dined out well on them!! Boo Hoo..
Hope your week continues to be full of beautiful treasured moments
Yvonne xx
