At the hotel where we are spending a couple of days there is a fire to warm the cockles and comfy couches! Outside the rain continued to pour down causing flooding in many areas but we don't have to go anywhere. This is with my step daughter and her husband. I have to look at my camera settings as this is not as clear as it should be! Something to do with speed I think!
By the way I contacted the owner of the arched gates and he said the words were from old French and mean "for good or nothing"! The "o" stands for 'b'- ou bien.
Three good things:
1. Reading my book on my iPad.
2. Joseph Siebel shoes
3. Learning the art of good conversation.
It sounds like you've been having some really horrible weather. I hope it passes soon, but at least you've got a nice spot to wait it out with a fire and good company.
was Michael a lovely man as was indicated by comments on his website? it kind of intrigued me reading all those comments about his cottage and him.
there's a lot of flooding happening around here, too, especially in our east coast where they had so much snow until recently. and then in mid-canada, they're still having snow storms and such. our world is getting old and decrepit it's forgetting what weather it should be on. stay safe and away from the flooding.
Love the way the men have arranged themselves very masterly on either side of the fireplace........seems to be the place they like the best or standing in front with their back to it keeping the heat off you! Love the red handbag........you look a very happy & contented little family.
@happypat I agree about the proprietary pose on the mantelpiece! My dash back to the couch was a bit hurried for a graceful pose, myself! We had a lovely time with lots of interesting discussions!
@summerfield I learned more about Michael on that site than I had before! He always wears clothes from Victorian history and has a large beard! The floods subsided within a day, thanks Vikki!
