Friday afternoon
I have spent this afternoon on the sofa, reading and watching the daffodils unfurl. Also, chatting to The Little Boy Next Door who came to review the biscuit tin. I remarked on his new haircut and he explained that 'Mummy made a mistake when she cut the fringe so she had to cut more off'. I felt his pain. It has been a particularly busy two weeks with late nights, early mornings, and the house in various states of chaos but now I feel ready for the weekend. Exhale.
Thank you for your company and comments over the past two weeks. I wish you could join me here for a cup of tea beside the fire but instead I shall wander around Blogland and drop in to catch up with your news. Get out your tray cloths!
That does look cosy. I have more tray cloths, table cloths and napkins than I know what to do with. Luckily I like ironing. In fact just call me Mrs Tiggy Winkle.
ReplyDeleteTruly I think that you are the person that I aspire to be. Not only do you know when to prune shrubs and how to paint furniture - you love ironing!!
Deletewatching daffodils unfurl, sounds like a description of happiness
ReplyDeleteIt did feel very joyful to sit there in the quiet of the cottage next to a cosy log fire, reading a book. Such a peaceful afternoon is a very special treat.
DeleteWhat bliss. I intend to do some of that tomorrow. I think it's due to rain, so I have daffodils and a tray cloth at the ready.
ReplyDeleteIf I can make a helpful recommendation - fill a hot water bottle and sit with it under a blanket. Even MasterM agrees this is the ultimate luxury. Don't panic - you can empty it out before the children get back from school and look efficient and grown-up.
DeleteTray cloths and tea cosies - it's like I have stepped back in time. |Have a lovely relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe extensive collection of tray cloths is the result of a short but intense relationship with Monsieur eBay.
DeleteIt looks so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was so peaceful - a real treat.
DeleteVery cozy indeed!
ReplyDeleteI have got to that stage in life where an afternoon on the sofa is the ultimate luxury.
Deletefirst I need to work on the biscuit tin. it is woefully depleted......
ReplyDeleteBring on the biscuit tin! I'm baking tomorrow - I will let you know how I get on.
DeleteWhat a cozy way to end the week - love it!
ReplyDeleteIt really was delicious - I can highly recommend it.
DeleteI wish that I could have a fire and daffodils.
ReplyDeleteIn your heart there will be a place where you always have a log fire, hot crumpets and a cheery bunch of daffodils.
