My oldest friend Ali came to stay this week so it has been a very good one; lengthy chats, much giggling, plenty of walking, charity shopping and antique fondling in abundance. All with the necessary stops for tea and cake, of course. We watched Jane Eyre and Amélie back to back, met Sara for afternoon tea (I had so much fun introducing two of my favourite people), spent far too long in Paperchase, discovered the creepiest childrens book (see last pic: Play With Us? Or what!?) and yet somehow we didn't get around to opening the bubbly. I'll save it for the next visit.
I love appreciating this little town through new eyes, I'll be very sad to leave it!
Nothing like spending time with your best friend. Love your photos. I have a favorite...the sugar bowl. :)
ReplyDeleteAh this sounds like the perfect best friend bonding session!

Every picture you post makes me feel nostalgic for something I cannot define.

I am drooling over those gorgeous decanter type things on the top of the cupboard, I couldn't quite read the writing on them, what did they used to contain?xx
ReplyDeleteThey're all old wine bottles I think - 'Merlot', 'Chenin Blanc' etc :-) I'd have loved to bring one home!
DeleteLove all those old Merlot bottles - they are so wonderful especially with the faded lettering to them. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'd love to have a chandelier. Would be so much fun!
