As I walked towards the trees the late afternoon sky was muted silver and I was reminded of our dinner party on Saturday night. The table was set with new beaded silver mats which shimmered in the candlelight just as I hoped they would, logs crackled in the fireplace, corks popped and our dining room filled with gusts of laughter. In the middle of the table there was a low vase of white narcissi and their sweet scent drifted towards me throughout the meal. It was a very happy evening and remembering it today I feel so grateful for the friends who shared it with us.
That sky - it looks like a bolt of silk is being spread over the earth. There are so many beautiful images of winter sky on Blogland at present.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely description - it reminded me of fine grey fur, the colour that I imagine mink is.
DeleteNarcissus in November - how?
ReplyDeleteWaitrose.
DeleteNext question?
Tsk, silly me!
DeleteYour Saturday evening sounds perfect. That's my favourite way to spend time with friends. Lovely to have Paperwhites(?) for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteI imagine they are Paperwhites but as they were in my basket before you could say 'outrageous extravagance' I didn't stop to look at the label.
