My lovely daughter picked these for me from her garden – their scent is soft with smells of Spring.
They sit with Buddha who is always surrounded by little bits and pieces given and gathered.
Last week I stayed in The Hayloft for a couple of days and this vase greeted me in the hall.
My Coastal Cosy blanket started to grow.
I am happy to highly recommend the Hayloft, it is the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in by far. Such a warm welcome, a generous welcome hamper and beautiful ambience. It is just a 4 minute drive from Nymans, which is a wonderful place to visit.
Fascinating buildings, beautiful magnolias
and what a wisteria trunk! This pergola must be a dream to walk later in the year.
Now let’s go and see what Cathy has popped into her Vase this Monnday.
So nice to see your pristine daffodils when mine are all over. The Buddha looks pleased too! Lucky you to stay in such a nice place and to visit Nymans.

I know!!! I wish I had asked about it now! The garden was developed in the late 1800s – could it be that old?

Now that’s one wonderful holiday rental! I loved the adorned Buddha too. I admit I’ve never left any offerings for my own garden Buddha – I should remedy that!

Now you mention it I too have a garden Buddha that needs some offerings! I’ll have to find him first – I think he must be behind a mass of weeds! Naughty me!

Those lovely flowers are just perfect with Buddha. If ever I should come across the pond, you can be sure I’ll stay at the Hayloft and visit Nymans.

Your narcissi are lovely! Buddha looks very content sitting beside them. Must checkout the Hayloft as that is not too far from us.

The Hayloft really is lovely if you are looking for a Self Catering place to stay – only one bedroom though so not ideal for a family. I see you volunteer at Charleston Farmhouse – how absolutely wonderful. I was lucky enough to visit in July 2013, here is one of my posts about the visit: https://daffodilwild.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/charleston-farmhouse/

Ah! You have a bedecked Buddha too Pauline! My little corner of peace and happiness. The ribbon draped aroiund the Buddha’s neck was made for me by a friend as a Christmas decoration some years ago – I don’t ‘do’ Christmas nowadays but I love the lariat she made.
That Wisteria must be glorious in summer – almost worth the 3 hour drive to see it again!

Yes I think these are late varieties of narcissi. I wondered about listing the items and the stories attached to them, but I think that might have taken me all week!
