Room at the Studio

We have a band staying with us at the moment, so all available space is needed. The studio takes two!!
Large pots of pasta and baking for friends. That's what it's all about at our place. The music and fun makes it such a pleasure.

Snail mail treasure

This beautiful hand made card arrived this week from a dear friend I've known for 50 years.
We keep in touch and have shared great joys and deep sadness over the years. Knowing someone who knew your family, your teachers, your neighbors is truly special.
I love the fact that we choose to keep the letters and cards going over modern technology. My friend said this week how much she enjoys making cards and how much she loves receiving mine.
Send a card!

Anyone home?

At our shack the neighbors dog loves to pop over to see if we are in. It's the cutest little dog. During the renovation she just walked in and out and of course thinks the same arrangement stands.
I had to laugh when I saw her checking us out Sunday morning.

At the Shack

We have headed to the beach for a much needed rest! Whilst there are still a few things to finish before we can rent our cottage to holiday makers, it's just perfect for us. This is a place to relax and unwind. The beds are so comfy and the kitchen works like a charm. We have a heat pump plus an open fire( of course) and the best part is being only a short stroll to magnificent beaches.
Thought I'd share some pics with you.

Love these fires

I see these gas log fires and dream of owning one.
We have a large heat pump so would only use this on weekends or some evenings. We are thinking of putting a gas cook top in so perhaps a fire could go in at the same time.
I'd be interested in others thoughts on these fires.
You know I'm mad on our fire but it is messy!
