Fourth

LittleGem tagged me to show the 4th picture from the 4th file on my computer....
And its this (not that interesting) picture of my hyacinth bulbs just before they flowered - these ones came through in pink and grew so madly I ended up cutting the flowers as they leaned even after being tied with string!!
The pot is now by the back door waiting for the greenery to die off so I can then plant the bulbs in the garden - waste not want not!! - my mum said she has had varied luck with them coming through but nothing to lose except 5 minutes light trowel work to see!!
The cornishware bowl came from my Grandma..my mum fetched it from her house after she died its very very crazed inside due to age so I am reluctant to use it for anything foody, but I think Grandma would be pleased to see it having another life :)

They are beautiful Dolly :)

I keep meaning to plant hyacinths (I adore them, and grape hyacinths too), but I keep forgetting to.

I was wondering if I'm too late to plant them indoors this year?

Anyway, lovely and lovely bowl too, I think your dear granny would be proud :)

God bless, Rasp xx

It's always good to see through the bad things, I think it also means you get to buy cheaper!!! This house had languished on the market for over a year when we snapped it up, and that was when things were going well! And oh yes it is great to meet other people interested in the little details, I was a bit dubious about posting up pics of the skirting boards!

Lovely photo Claire. Is the bowl a "real" Greens Cornish ware one? I used to work there, but the only local Cornish ware I know of now is "brought in" for the visitors centre.

Love and blessings
