Evesham asparagus and locally grown tomatoes - I haven't polished them they came like that and taste as good as they look.
Cress grown on the kitchen window sill (a reminder of primary school), just crying out for an egg sandwich.
A surprise lot of tulips as I was sure I'd planted pink ones - anyone know the name of this purply black one? It's gorgeous.
Proof that I do actually plant things in our very small garden and they even sometimes grow and flower......
An elderly visitor from next door seeking a shady spot. (She has half an ear and no tail so I'm not sure how many of her nine lives she has left, but she is very friendly)
A finished project waiting for buttons,
a half finished WIP waiting for some more yarn (and possibly cooler weather),
and a new project - a cardigan for baby E, which needs to be finished before 6th May when we shall have the pleasure of her company. All uploaded in record time thanks to a friendly BT man who has at last solved the mystery of our constantly disappearing broadband.
I also received a parcel from lovely Elaine at Ted and Bunny and a cute Easter present from Daughter, but they will have to wait to my next post. I'm off now to eat Fat Rascals from Betty's By Post - not quite as good as being in Harrogate, but a nice substitute - we also have some Bury Simmnels and a Simmnel cake, thanks to an Easter parcel from a friend who thought we needed a treat. Hope you're all having a lovely Easter break, the sunshine is such a bonus.

EDIT: The lovely satiny purple tulips are 'Queen of the night' variety. The Eden Project have them for sale here (delivery Sept /Oct). I shall certainly have soem for next year they are spectacular.

Egg and cress sandwiches are my favourite. What a great idea.
Lovely lovely photos, and I'm glad your broadband issue is sorted out so you could show them to us without tearing our your hair!
Bettys by Post, what a brilliant idea, must go and investigate, or maybe I really shouldn't after all the Easter eggs I have consumed this week:0( Where has my willpower gone?!
I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Happy Easter to you and yours, Jane, including the elderly neighbour with half an ear.
Oh to be near Evesham, now the asparagus is here!
I have quite a lot of those plants in my small garden including those black tulips, but I don't know the name of them either
Thank you all for your lovely comments. As you may have seen, the tulips are 'Queen of the Night'.
Betty's by Post is great, Jo, we usually succumb to Fat Rascals - real comfort food! The egg sandwiches were great, Fran, as was the asparagus, Judith.
We've been good here so no chocolate eggs but plenty of other treats!
Beautiful - thank you for sharing some lovely colours from your life.
We're waiting for seasonal asparagus to arrive here and locally grown tomatoes - yum.
Have a lovely weekend.
Ah......... coming in late on this one: was going to write and say that I reckon they are "Queen of the Nights" possibly - one of my all time favourites (think I am a closet Goth!). Loving your visitor..........
