Monday Blues

Hitty Madge and Hitty Morag spent some time exploring the garden looking for 'blues' on Monday.


No these are pink!


But these are blue 


They admire the blue flowers...


so pretty.


Then sit for a while chatting.


Beautiful Blue Monday flowers.

Hitty Madge's Sunday Walk


Hitty Madge wore her warm winter coat to go on a walk with our person today.  It was quite grey out, but at least the rain stayed away, although it was very wet underfoot.


She was delighted to find a Hellebore in flower.

Out in the garden


Hitty Madge and Hitty Morag took their sister Hitty Mildred into the garden for some fresh air as it has been a lovely day today.  Cold but nice.  Fortunately they were able to find her a winter dress to wear which she was very pleased about as she had been in a summer dress for quite some time. She is secretly hoping she might get a nice cardigan or shawl made...


Morag found a lovely purple rose about to bloom.


Madge some yellow rose buds.


Mildred a bright red rose


and an orange bud that matches the orange in her dress.

A nice afternoon strolling around the garden discovering that the roses were still bravely blooming despite the colder and often very wet weather.

Catching up!

Gosh can't believe I forgot to post anything in the month of January.

The Hittys of Rose Cottage have been quietly going about their lives as they do.

I joined in the Winter Frost Challenge on Knitty Hittys.


Hitty Madge got a new dress with a winter ski theme.


A warm cape


and a warm lyra hat to keep her head warm.  

Due to the shape of her head (shhh don't tell her) it isn't easy to get hats to fit her, but this pattern works quite well.



She got a warm cardigan in blue.


Which was handy when she and the little ones ventured out in the snow during our first snow fall.


Another day she enjoyed some apple strudel while out.


The heavier snow we had a few days ago meant that she helped over see some of the little ones, including nekked baby 'Keith's Cousin' who wanted to slide down the snow and thought it was fun. 


Rather him than us! Hitty Madge thought.


In the weekend she admired some of the flowers in the Sailor's garden that have started to come out.


Some pretty crocus


and lovely snowdrops.

Hitty Phoebe Out and About - Part Seven - Signs of Spring

Sunday afternoon Hitty Phoebe and her People went up to see their DIL.  Hitty Phoebe was delighted to find some signs of Spring.


Pretty snowdrops


Beautiful Crocus


She even had some good company! 

Not long after this though they had to dash inside as some snow flurries started to fall, the temperature dropped dramatically.

Oh my look how this toadstool has grown since I last visited it?


I must tell the girls...

Hitty Madge went walking in the park and woods today and found on her travels...


Fly Agaric toadstool...


and pretty cyclamen flowers.


It was rather chilly though and she has requested some warmer wear for future excusions!
