When its wet outside.....

 

what more excuse is needed to settle down for a little while with a hot drink and something naughty to eat......

 
and browse through a few new books......

 

 

 
as well as a few older favourites.......

 

 
and maybe indulge in a spot of hand sewing.......

 

 

 

 in the company of a good friend



Thank you everyone for taking the time to leave comments on my posts - it is lovely to read them all, and I do appreciate them so much. I try to reply to all of them via email (unless they are the "no-reply" ones) and also to visit your own wonderful blogs.

There are a few lovely Giveaways taking place at the moment in Blogland - have a look in my sidebar at the top of my blog to link to Madelief and Mimi and Tilly's blogs to join in their wonderful Giveaways.

  1. Logan is such a handsome boy. Archie is at the groomers at the moment, he hates it but he doesn't have too much taken off, just a trim to tidy him up a bit.

  17. You know how to do a rainy day right Gilly...looks absolutely perfect....you even brightened it up with all those pretty cups and what-not notions! But the best part would be having Logan to snuggle up with while enjoying all the what-nots, he's such a sweety!
    Hoping the sun finds you al soon...

  18. Hi Gill, it's a while since I've read your blog as for some reason, it hasn't come up on my blogroll - will remedy that immediately.
    I found you again on Annie's Knitsofacto because your comment was exactly what I was going to say, apart from still being shy! How strange! You have some beautiful images and I'm going to do some catch up reading. Nice to find you again. Axxx

  20. The weather I gather, has not been the best over there. Rainy weather is good reading weather though. Enjoy your books and sewing projects. Please, do not feel obligated to respond via e-mail to my comments. I know how time consuming reading and writing back on peoples blogs is. Here's hoping the bout of bad weather turns around quickly for you.

  21. I would love a rainy day here. Not only do we need it but I love to hear the rain outside and cuddle up like you with tea and a treat and some books and/or some needlework and if chilly a fire in the fireplace. Pure heaven to me! Enjoy! I may need to move there! LOL!
