Autumn Break

I have been seriously neglecting my blog and have such a lot of catching up on reading my favourite blogs too. Life is just so busy lately, I've decided to take a little break (apart from the one I seem to have just taken!) and will return later in the autumn.

I haven't really had time to do much to the house lately either. The website is very busy and I am selling a lot of linens so there is plenty of washing and ironing going on in this house recently. We are in the midst of getting quotes for building work - we want to knock three rooms into one to make a huge living kitchen and open all the back up to glass doors. It will be lovely when it's done but before that is all the upheaval and dust etc. etc.
We celebrated our pearl wedding anniversary last month and I had this lovely American 19th century framed baby's cap instead of pearls.

I just love it, the detail in the stitching is just amazing. We bought it at Goodwood Antiques Fair and it turned out that the lady from whom we bought it is the same person we bought these shoes from a couple of years ago, such a coincidence. She has a lovely antique shop in Petworth.

See you again later in the year. xx

  8. Just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post on my blog, it meant a lot to me really. Things have been a LOT better the last few days and I'm trying to take a fresh approach with the kids which (hopefully?!) may help. It is really reassuring to hear from someone who has been through similar and survived. All the best, Mel x

  20. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog!
    I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
    I've had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!

  31. I almost never leave a response, but i did some searching and wound up here "Autumn Break".

    And I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it appear like a few of the comments come across like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of every one of your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
