*Moo! Cluck! Oink!*

 

*i'm pretty excited to have discovered a fabulous blog whilst searching for these images...check out brain pickings 

{Dear readers, I am technically a Townie. Although for many years I lived in a cute Kent village surrounded by green meadows and fields, my heart belonged to the hustle and bustle of coastal Deal and the creative buzz of Medieval Sandwich (anyone reading this from those places might chuckle right now).  Our village had a corner shop; the towns had boutiques! Card shops! Antique shops! However I married a country-man and I have been reminded many-a-time how I really should know that rumination is not just a CBT term (and a helpful one at that!) but in fact something a cow does; hay is not just a friendly American greeting but in fact can be used to sleep on; I could go on, but instead I insist that you buy this book which I pre-ordered, such was my excitement at finding a book about the countryside that was practical and really beautiful. I unpacked it at the weekend and it hasn't left my side since.}

*these are a few of my fave-or-ite things!*

*piccy via simple lovely....and it really is simply lovely 


{I'm just showing off now, but this gorgeously glistening green book of greatness sits proudly on my bookcase, care of Becky. Some of the recipes literally make you want to hop on the early morning Eurostar to Paris, rip up your British passport (it better be in that order, silly!) and start calling yourself Amelie. Check it out to see what I mean!}

{Well folks, we have had a busy time of late in the GG household, including spending time with our delicious family and enjoying the rolling hills and plunging valleys of North Wales. The autumn leaves have fallen and all over London grown men are being spotted kicking up great swathes of rusty, crispy leaves high into the air just like they did as boys. Somerset House Ice Rink has opened; skating to the sounds of a funky DJ? Oui madame, count me in!}

*i like to boogey*

{Its been a tough couple of weeks here in my world and I haven't found the inclination to blog. But this artwork got me back}
