Yes I am sure we could show Sophie some great "adventures". Thanks for the info on the saucer - I knew there would be a reason for those unusual shaped sets. I am slooowwly putting the mulch on the gardens, been hot here lately, watering already - not sure ready for all that yet.

Ohh wouldn't that just be the bestest thing to catch up with Sophie one day all together!! I'd forgotten just how crafty, clever & convivial the Waikato ladies are..I'm still got my mouth open over the tea shirt rug!! Extraordinary! I meant to say too... that unusual plate is from a "tennis set" some king or other decided that he wanted just such a thing so that he could hold his tea & bikkie on the one plate while on the tennis court! That is quite major tree work...& what a fabulous lot of mulch. I adore your dolls pram. I spotted one of those at the last Church fair but I couldn't figure just where I would put it & managed enough self control to leave it behind..but they really are so charming aren't they. Pretty, pretty irises too. Much love & thank you so much for the parcel!

Plus when they stop flowering you can change them for something else :-) Julie XoxJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301647145550214950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-75224070839939484132012-10-27T15:27:47.385+13:002012-10-27T15:27:47.385+13:00What a journey you have been on.
