Well it is a pretty one Diana, and it looks like youwill be having more real soon

[Cherrill]

Oh so lovely, mine are quite behind. Then again the warmth of the wall has brought its reward. I bet this smells delicious. Thank you for all your kind comments lately. Hope your interior designs are getting tidied now.

How beautiful, and against that lovely wall that hints at your charming cottage! It was so nice to have you drop by the other day! I hope to spend more time on 365 this summer...I've missed everyone!
