Wet weekend

What do you do on a wet weekend? We stayed indoors, hardly putting our noses outside.
The Boy brought over a pile of things to do and we did quite a bit of making, sticking and glueing. Those little beads get everywhere! I could sit still (ah, thank you) while some (unwearable) rings were designed.
We played increasingly silly games. By Sunday some of the old toys had come down from the attic and the boys of all ages got to work!
Please note that in the background the female of the species was quietly at work preparing Sunday lunch.
Some of the outdoors could be enjoyed inside courtesy of a lovely bouquet of flowers, grasses, leaves and berries from the local florist. It is absolutely beautiful, a very skilful arrangement. Thank you Little Perth.

  1. Great fun was had by all, it seems - especially the boys and their toys. And how very homely (in the best sense of the word) to have someone quietly preparing a meal in the meantime!
    The colours of the bouquet are lovely, and your garden looks good no matter the weather.

    1. Sometimes it's so nice just to mooch about at home doing simple things with those you love. (Not that I find constructing those fiddly plastic bits simple at all. That's boys' stuff!))

  2. The boys look very happy playing together. Even happier when female in the kitchen produced food no doubt

  3. Gorgeous bouquet!
    Men soon become boys again when the toys come out.

    1. My photos of the bouquet hardly do it justice, it is full of all sorts of delights, lovely little grasses and beech leaves among roses and berries. I have changed the water and shortened stems and still enjoying it very much.
