Shona, You are amazing. Just had to say that in response to yet another stunning post.
Sorry I haven't been stopping by as much...by blog reading has been slowing down as other things are picking up! Hope all is well with you (appears so from your photos!!) :)
Beautiful pictures! I looove the seeing the gorgeous patina on the bench up close (must be from all my years of painting faux finishes and trying to make things look aged like this! nothing like the real thing!)
Sounds perfect . . .

ReplyDeleteLove this! Some of my very favorite things as well.
ReplyDeleteShona ...is that sugar you can only get in Ireland? I've never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteYour poem says so much! It makes me think that you are enjoying pleasures 'back home' that are often missed here in Texas.
I have to say that in Europe they really seemed to understand what 'tea' was for...relaxing visiting..not rushing..
We are so busy and type A in America... I don't think we know what we're missing...but people in Europe do--I think.
