I took the baby out in the sling for the first time, today. We walked to the end of the road and beyond: past the horses in a buttercup meadow and down a green and shady footpath, high hedgerows on either side. The only sounds were my footfalls, the birds in the trees and the contented snuffle of the baby’s breathing. I love this time of year, when the verges and hedgerows froth with a lather with cow parsley . I picked a couple of sprigs to take home with me, along with buttercups, herb robert and a tiny, blue forget-me-not-esque flower. There is something about a hedgerow posy that demands not a vase, but a jug. I have put it on the dresser, where it looks perfectly at home.

Perfect flowers beautifully arranged and from such a memorable walk. Hope all’s well with all of you, Katie x
I just saw your ‘Favourite things to do’ on TIYK – made me miss the Cotswolds so much! Born in Cheltenham, grew up in Cirencester, family in Stroud, I hope to move back some day. Really lovely blog and congrats on cutie new baby. Hx
I remember vividly the day we took our twins outside for the first time… a mixture of exhilaration and terror. Fond memories…love your pictures.
ahh… I wondered what the pink flower was (we have some on the driveway) and now I know! lovely selection of flowers and what a pretty jug! x
So pretty…and oh those days a quiet baby’s breath…happy *sigh* x
