I spent a few
‘chilling out’ days at my friend’s home.
Lovely relaxed
evenings by a flickering fire.
Chatting
and catching up.
A huge
chunk soupçon of chocolate.
A goldfish
bowl teeny tot of Baileys.
With ice.
Yummy.
Perfumed
candles flickering …
… and
filling the air with their warm spicy scent.
(The White
Company’s ‘Winter’ is the most amazing scent of cloves, cinnamon and
orange)
Lots of countryside
walks.
Through the
‘Magic’ wood ...
(Apparently, you have to get to the other side without the troll grabbing your ankles)
… with my friend M's
little Pug Wilson and her son.
We spent a
few hours in Cambridge.
A town seeped
in history and atmosphere.
Warm stone
and leaded windows.
Twinkling
lights.
Individual
shops full of gorgeous little things
Cafes with big
comfy chairs …
… and
special coffees.
Where you
can relax …
… and eat cake ... or a chocolate macaroon.
Watch the
world go by.
Back home.
Dilbert missed me.
I missed
him more.
A big armful
of black furry purry cuddliness.
Hubby
didn’t get a look in.
Keep warm.

DeleteOh what a lovely warm post..scented candles, flickering fire, countryside walks ( and trolls, eep )..oh and Cambridge.....i love Cambridge, a wonderful town to wander in the evening, lots of cobbled streets and yummy shops.....i can remember our last visit having lunch in a really super veggie cafe, we sat downstairs tucked into a corner eating cake.......lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the walk down memory lane
Do you mean the Rainbow cafe, which is tucked away down a side alley and in a vaulted basement near the Kings college? that is where we always go for lunch - absolutely gorgeous food and relaxed atmosphere... can't beat it.
