| looking back over the last couple of weeks |
My we've been busy!! Changing the rooms for new guests and keeping the garden up together, not to mention the daily shop to look for nice fresh ingredients for the essential Full cooked Breakfast. Some days i begin to think I'm a professional shopper. We splurged on a nice new carpet for the Apricot room this month - is it me or is there something deeply satisfying about the smell of a new wool carpet and feet sinking into the soft depths?

That is probably all of our hushold news except maybe that I finally managed to track down a vintage bookcase for our guest sitting room to hold the DVD collection that had long outgrown the lovely old apple basket and various other containers. I was never a fan of the modern cabinet that I bought first of all, so must find it a good home where it's modern dimension will be more loved. free to collect locally If anybody would like a sort of wood column with a hidden door in faux mahogany (I had intended to give it a paint finish but never did get around to it!

Has the carpet had the Spud/Louis claw stretch/paddle seal of approval yet? And no, it's not just you with that lovely aroma of the freshly laid woolly stuff.....
ReplyDeleteOurs and your busiest time of the year just now I suspect; but we are rained off from combining at present and the chaps in the family are wearing out the teapot as well as the office carpet! Our wild flower meadow is alive with insects too and the swallows and bats swoop over at dusk giving a wonderful aerial display. Ditto with breakfasts too, can't do without it this time of year, for the energy! our days have not been finishing 'till gone 10pm and after a late supper, we collapse in a heap to bed.
Looking forward to the garden pictures...life is beautiful.

Hi Pats - Well I hope the harvest is back underway now for you. It's potatoes down in this part of Cornwall at the moment relentlessly trundling through the machinery of the farmyards Danni and I pass through. The barley is still looking very green in the fields but the honeysuckle growing on the banks has started to flower which I always think is a sign of the harvest. i thought of you with a huge picture fest in my latest post so hope you enjoy the garden. Take care Christine x
