delphiniums and snow flakes...

It's 4 weeks today until I return to beautiful York for 3 months of sourcing vintage treasures to ship to Australia and sell over the summer market season. I can't wait to return to that skinny Victorian terrace just outside the city walls and to be reunited with my One-And-Only who has been keeping the home fires burning in the UK for the past two months.

Yesterday he sent me a photo of the delphiniums flowering in our shoebox garden...

I am crossing my fingers that the delphiniums are still in flower by the time I get there! When I was in York at the beginning of the year this was the view of the garden...

...Snowy, magical and oh-so-cold! As an antipodean girl I adored the snow and my very first White Christmas. But now as the season has turned frigid and lonely in Melbourne I am counting sleeps until I see my first English Summer and My Love waiting for me in the arrivals hall...

Gooey or what!!
