bad weather, too much work and hugely enjoyable time off. So we just haven't added blogging for a bit - sorry! So, to backtrack to real content, but before we do - two more images of life here che Bella. One, the sewing room, just so you know that Elizabeth still sews (lots). You may recognise it as the dining room and you may recognise the closed cupboards behind as the office, shut away. But just to be clear, this is the sewing room.
The very very green shot is not the sewing room. It is one of the insides of a lock wall
. So much grows on them! Sometimes they are a glorious blend of shiny olive green and copper coloured mud, sometimes they are soft green moss like this one. In Autumn, they catch transparent golden leaves and look like fine sculpture. The fragrance is deep dark forest marsh, heavy with aroma. Pete notices the frangrance of the damp weed clinging to the lock gates whilst Elizabeth breathes in the fragrance like rich aromatherapy. Ahhhhh.
