No-one leads a charmed life but it behoves us (I love that old-fashioned word) to pay attention to what charm there is.
It would be churlish not to, don't you think?

omigosh! your daffs are up already? I saw some tops just starting to poke through, but nowhere near blooming. they're my favorite! at least until the irises, daisies, & lilies of the valley bloom....& your sweet peas.

These are from the Channel Islands - southernmost point of uk then they work up the country until ours come out late March early April. I have not even sown the sweet peas yet! Maybe a job for today..

I only use this vase at daffodil time - I think it's 1930's (can't remember where I found it).

The perfect vase. I find I use the same vases for certain flowers too. As a student I used to put anemones in a large Marmite jar. I have one vase that I could never use successfully. It’s a large white T&G Green pot that I bought in Habitat. I had the idea that it would look good with tulips but it is far too tall. Then I’m sure it was you who suggested scrumping up cellophane in the bottom to raise the stems up.

Yes Lucille - it was an idea I saw in Waterstones in Glasgow and it works well. Another idea is to put some very tall branches in among the tulips to alter the proportions - birch for me, or pussy willow from the supermarket at £2 a bunch just now? Have fun!

I am storing up nice things to do. At present languishing in bed with a truly vicious cold. I thought I had escaped the encircling viruses. There is only so

What a beautiful arrangement, and in front of such a lovely painting (yours, by the style?). I often use twigs like that. At the moment, we have forsythia which will flower early if brought in, and is lovely with a few daffs

Yes, my sunshine harvest painting. I should plant a forsythia for just that purpose!

Definitely churlish not to love that charming tableau.

It delighted me for almost a week.

I agree, with the additional benefit of learning two new words (behoves and churlish), so thank you :)

You will rarely hear behoves, but churlish - sometimes.
