The other day I was in a charity shop and I found a copy of Beatrix Potter's Book of ABC's. There was an inscription penciled inside the cover: "To our darling Oliver on his first Christmas, all our love, Mummy and Daddy." I flipped through it, and when I got to "L is for Ladybird" I got all verklempt and had to buy it. It is those little nuances that I am going to miss and appreciate the most once I leave.
The evenings here are endlessly long, which is great because evening is my favorite part of day. And the sun takes hours to set. This is the castle looking like a cake.
This is the cake I want for my wedding.
This tree peony is 25 years old. I know because the French woman who lives here and was pruning her roses when we walked by told us.
Jeffery and I live a 5 minute walk from this little park.
Blue sky and puffy clouds.
Poppies.
Such wonderful snippet shots...and also, I love that you just said "verklempt." :)
ReplyDeletethat is one classy looking cake, I want a bite of it. Also I have millions of ladybugs at my work, they are really nice crawling around the million little flowers. Can we have cake when you get back?
