It's a favorite of mine. But I do have to say that picture of Trudy in front of the darling house is to die for! She is soo cute - and the house is even cuter! This makes me want to come visit so bad. Nothing in WestU looks like this!!!! I love Carrabba’s sausage and lentil soup! It’s a favorite of mine.

I'm try to think "long term". Meanwhile, I am happy to have a new computer and not have to wait until Christmas!<br/><br/>Moannie--I dearly wish we were in a snug little cottage. Unfortunately, we are renting a more modern construction near my daughter's school. Recently we've taken to hunkering down with our newest discovery, the hot water bottle. Candles are nice too. But I envy you your fireplace and shutters. It sounds very cosy! Sarah–Yes, isn’t it awful! I’m try to think “long term”.

The reason I ask is that it MUST have a fireplace and it should not be too difficult to open it up again. We have one and it gives so much comfort and pleasure. We close the shutters, switch off the lights and gave into it. At least something good is happening for someone with this awful crisis.
I hope you are feeling better now.

I'm laughing. Every time I live in England the dollar drops to historic lows against the pound and then recovers when I leave. Then again I'm guessing it's that we are all hurting. No!!!!

I also appreciate you answering my "penny for a guy" question. I was waiting to see notices for a local bonfire, but never did. Too bad. Hope your family are on the mend by now.<br/><br/>Christine--So glad you liked it! I bet it would go well with your Indian rice too :-) Barbara–Thank you for your kind words.

The cottage does look darling. Have lots of cottages to post from my recent trip. One of the lovely things about England.

Children don’t have bonfires like they used to.
