Starting the week by writing the Monday Happy List  is something I’ve been doing for a while. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I always love to write.

Monday Happy List {Week 343}

On Bank Holiday Monday we finally got round to visiting Chenies Manor House and Gardens. The weather was pretty cold and windy but we still enjoyed exploring the gardens. We are looking forward to going back when the Tudor Manor House is able to re-open to visitors.

I couldn’t resist taking my pup when I went to vote in the local elections last week. It was a good excuse for an evening walk and made for a perfect Instagram pic.

I completed the sashiko table runner I was working on. It was such a lovely piece of embroidery to stitch and I could easily have done double the length. I picked up an old embroidery hoop I hadn’t finished and also completed a paper cut.

Over the weekend we re-potted our little peas. They’ve been growing well in our little greenhouse but were ready to be planted out. We also re-potted our sunflowers which we’re going to plant around the garden to find the sunniest spot. Our garden is in pretty good shape so far this year, we just need some more sunshine so we can sit out and enjoy it.
