OMG yes. its our butlers pantry right off the dining room next to the stairs. Makes our house sound bigger than it is, but what a hodge podge mess it is. Doesn't help we had to empty out my parents house, my grandma's house, and a great aunts house in one year. I'm drowning in too much stuff. Trying to keep it out of sight while sorting it out and trying to get rid of 90%. Yikes... you're not alone.

HahaHAAAAAAAAAA! Oh yes, we do. Our place is nice and tidy (ish) most of the time. But our storage cupboard is a SHOCKER. It's actually probably a death trap. The door doesn't even close on it properly at the moment. We were going to do a car boot sale last year but it didn't quite happen, then the weather changed...

Oooh, so cute! My shih tzu Dexter does some tricks too. I just made a video about that... I love to spend time teaching him something. :D

How hard is it to find a place on the ground floor? I have rheumatoid arthritis (hence the blog arthurndi ) and all the lovely stairs in the 3 apartments you blogged about earlier would do me in.

I am emailing my husband your 5 year plan. Wish we had made one earlier. We want a mid cent inspired house in Europe. We may have missed the boat with the economy (hit our nest egg hard :( ) but we plod forth looking for sunshine, modern homes, and a friendly little village hopefully in France! Nice to know there are others.

Yellow only belongs on daffodils, baby chicks and the sun! I have tried lavender too, it seems to grow so differently here to the way it grows in the southern hemisphere - I'm still trying...

Yes, he's such a little prince. Drinking from a crystal bowl, honestly.

I know what you mean about yellow flowers - I love daffodils, crocus and forsythia, but I hate yellow at any other time of year, and we don't have anything yellow in the house. Your planting plans sound lovely! I adore scented plants - I try to grow lavender, but unfortunately the dogs adore scented plants too, and they tend to roll on the lavender and crush it mercilessly before the plants have a chance to get started. Little monkeys.

Well, he is so gorgeous, what else would he be drinking from? Some excitement in my garden, 3 large shrubs succumbed to the effects of the snow - as there was really nothing wrong with them except for the yellow(don't like yellow) flowers on 2, I could not really justify digging them out.... but now I am replacing them with a wonderful fragrant Daphne Odora, a Phyladelphus (mock orange) and a gorgous Hebe - Vogue , can't wait for the weather to warm up a little more so I can get going!
