I love Nasturtiums. I've always grown them, wherever I had a garden, and mum always grew them too, up a trellis. I like the more unusual colours, but last year's seemed mainly bog standard, all grown from my own seeds, but I did have ACRES of them. Such a small thing, yet they bring me great pleasure.
I am easily pleased. A new book will do it for me every time - it doesn't even have to BE new, just new to me, and a subject that interests me. I love trying out a new recipe; tidying up the garden; planting seeds; a wonderful painting or a piece of antique furniture; looking round an old house or castle or a Museum; going for a walk; the company of friends; home made cake; a pair of earrings one of my daughters has made me. I can't understand people whose only pleasure is in retail therapy - buying yet another pair of shoes, or another handbag. Who on earth needs more than ONE handbag? Mind you, perhaps some people say that about books . . .

Jennie, I would never say that bout a book, but I do like my shoes! I enlarged the photo and - you were right. It is really a pleasure to be able to 'walk around' with you over there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful land with us.

the links that don't work?
I figured it out!
When you put your urls on the line where they are supposed to go (for posting them as links) there is already an http:// on that line. You must highlight it before you paste in your url or else you end up with 2 "http://"s.

Enjoy your walks Nancy! As for the links - you darlin' - SORTED! I shall remember that for the future.
How very beautiful, Jennie -- both the view AND the nasturtiums! I love nasturtiums too. And, like you, I am easily pleased by small things. Many of the things you mentioned are things that I enjoy, too. I'm with you on the handbag too... who could possibly need more than one?!
