Today, while reading the paper on-line, I came across something that took my breath away...
'Gammelyn's Daughter'
Kirsty Mitchell is a talented photographer, who lost her Mother to a brain tumour in 2008. Her Mother, Maureen, was an?English teacher who would read wonderful stories full of fantasy to Kirsty as a child. Unable to deal with the real world and the loss of her Mother, Kirsty retreated and created a fantasy world of her own that is now a collection...

Sweet stuff
From Simply B, 3 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I have a very sweet tooth. But, I have to admit to?totally?missing the?Macaroon?boat. I have never?(until today) had the pleasure of one of these colourful, sweet delights. So, when I saw one last box sitting all alone on the shelf in my supermarket (and reduced!) I decided to treat myself. I got them home and they almost looked too good to eat, so I thought I'd take a few pics to share before I made them?disappear...
And I have to say,...

Easter in Cape Verde...
From Simply B, 4 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Shhhh. Can you hear that' Beautiful isn't it' That, my friends, is the sound of silence. The sound of kids back to school. Which didn't happen until yesterday and kind of had me hanging on for dear life by my fingernails. But I made it. And so did they. And now, we are back to normal - and I am enjoying the silence.
So, I thought I'd take the time to fill you in on our trip to Cape Verde. As you can imagine I have TONS of photos, but I am going to try and restrain myself and not bore you to...

Hello my lovelies!
I have been busy spring cleaning and generally trying to get my house in order. We've still got work to do on the barn (believe it or not!) landscaping should start later this month and our front room (which has basically been out of action since we moved in due to damp) is now damp-free and freshly painted...white. So, using nature and the time of year as my guide I see shades of green being my?palette?for the furnishings in this new room.
It's the room you walk...

As there's very little in the way of?sunshine at the moment in these parts and we are all getting a little bit grumpy, Eva and I decided to make some sunshine of our own.
Sunshine...and a nice cup of tea by the fire. Perfect.
Enjoy your weekend lovelies,
Hugs, B x

Hello my dear friends,
I hope you are all well and keeping warm, wherever you are. Here in the UK it's been freeeeezing lately. But of course I still have to do my duty and take Cookie?'the faithful hound' out for her walks. On one of our walks at the weekend I was trudging along, feeling a little bit sorry for myself at?just?how cold I was, but it was a new route for us, so I plodded on to see where it would take us.
