The first branches of Forsythia, forced indoors. I like to think of it as pre-emptive pruning. That way I don't feel bad about hacking chunks off my shrubs.

I totally agree! I prune the Viburnum at the wrong time in order enjoy some of the flowers inside the house (If I had access to Forsythia I'd have done exactly the same thing)
Beautiful! Where are your random toothpaste splashes though? That's mostly what my bathroom is accessorised with :-D. Bet yours is more relaxing to bathe in though!

Beautiful! Think my neighbor would notice me snipping at hers?
(As always, your bathroom looks immaculate.)

I think your artful spring arrangement perfectly justifies the hacking away x

Great idea, think I will be emulating this!

Simple and beautiful, Ali. As all the best art is. Now where are my secateurs?! E x

Love having flowers in the bathroom. They never look quite as elegant as yours though. Happy Mother's Day, Ax
