It may not be entirely relevant to Bow, but i just can't help but mention that i only went and picked the winning horse on yesterdays Grand National!!! Not a bad job for a girly girl who picked the name 'Don't Push It' as i thought it quite apt in my world (for those of you that know me!)!! and to say i don't even understand the concept of odds- i managed to bag quite a nice sum- much to the dismay on the young mans face and collection of 'hardened' gamblers in our local bookies when i totted through in my ditsy floral dress and sunglasses!! I think the phrase 'fish out of water' would spring to mind- other than the fact that it wasnt me that was drowning (so to speak!)!!!!!!
Having not long completed my very long winded (about a year of evenings and weekends!) house renovation, one would think i was ready to sit back relax and enjoy all our (well my partner Steve's!) hard work. Oh no! maybe it's the run of sunshine we've been blessed with of late- or maybe it's just me?! but i cannot settle so we are now tackling the wilderness that is the garden! I think the prospect of BBQ's and sipping Pims on a summers evening out on the decking (which does not yet exist!) surrounded by a few flickering Coloured Jam Jar Tlights to enhance the peaceful ambiance is really the true motivation!!
Furthermore, i am surrounded in Bow by the temptation of beautiful garden accessories to adorn my 'wannabe' haven! Hanging Zinc Heart Cut-out Tlights, Floral Garden Tools, Gorgeous Zinc Plant Pot Holders, Pretty Heart-shaped Wire Baskets and Vintage Tumblers filled with Iced Lemonade....i could go on but if i do i fear i may close the shop and head for the garden!!
