Today I had a session at the Osteopath, it hurt lots, I felt sorry for myself so I bought my self some flowers, they don't make my body feel any better but they are nice to look at. I need a job that pays good money, doesn't involve too much physical exertion, but is interesting and arty, suggestions on a postcard please, or even better offers on a postcard please. Secondly I would like to go and eat at this tree house restaurant , Tom they don't have a video so get yourself to New Zealand quick smart! They need you.
How different is this?
This is how Sketch a restaurant in London is described in a conversation, "I want a room," thought he, " to rest." "Certainly my dear," he was told, "you have a choice of eight." "You lie," said he… on counting he saw only six. "Ah yes, but eight rhymes with cake." "Okay," said he, "what shall I find?" "Well," said the voice, "if you are very hungry and have coins in your pocket, ascend the stairs and you will find a dining hall of such magnificence, it will so take your breath away that your face will be a certain hue.
Arundel, some light up balls, and a nice bit of filming!
Just came back from Arundel in West Sussex, a beautiful sunny day in the end with lots of nice things to see, I've included just a few pictures in this blog for you to look at, I may have been more informative but I don't think my flu has completely gone so pictures will have to do I'm afraid, apart from a quick mention for Pallant an excellent Deli, well worth a visit.
Hankering after a good bakers.
This week I have managed to shake off the flu (mostly), I've been back to work , I've tried to make myself look more back in the land of the living , its been nice to be more back to normal but catching up has been hard, especially without my phone! (Sorry that's the last time I mention the Blackberry) Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat I'm afraid, but whilst I was ill one of the thing's I kept thinking was that I would really love a good local bakery, the nearest one I know of is a lady who has a market stall in Winchester in the high street, or Caracoli in Winchester or Alresford, not exactly local.
More about West Dean Gardens
Due to a certain Flu bug I haven't been anywhere or seen anything that exciting, however I was sorting through some of my photographs and came upon more pictures of West Dean Gardens near Chichester, West Sussex. So here they are, as I said in my last post everything is done to a very high standard, so it is well worth a visit.
Something to look forward to.
We have full blown flu, it's not clever and it's not funny! Apart from anything else we were supposed to take my 90 year old Mum to see Anton and Erin of Strictly Come Dancing fame last night. It was her Christmas present, however she did get to go and was still really excited about it all this morning, so I guess she enjoyed herself.
Chichester today
Things to drool over!
Happy Valentines Day.
This is definitely my kind of interior.
I found this house today whilst searching for a way to improve my house. It belonged to Nancy Fishelson, she is a restorer of houses, and is amazing at turning an old house, sympathetically, into a comfortable modern home. The house is a 1795 clapboard house on 20 acres in Woodbury, Connecticut, New England. This is the house in it's original form.
Was it warmer outside than in today? Plus music that I love today.
had no heating all day today, then the nice gas men came and gave me my warmth back. I wasn't home for long really but I swear it was warmer outside than in. I cleaned to keep warm, I cooked to keep warm, I ironed to keep warm. Then I wrapped myself up in various quilts and found this nice place to stay in Arundel. Any longer without heating and I would have booked myself in! I may do that one day anyway, what do you think, it has a wood burnerVisit Benjamin Cottage to see inside.
No snow, nice dogs.
This Weekend
It's been cold but no snow! A visit to Wickham Mill provided a nice old shaker stool to paint, and J'adore la maison and Tom supplied some Chalk Board paint, the Chalk board is now up and running if not a little empty at the moment, thank go to you both, I wasn't sure about it but now love it, I'm sure it will make very interesting reading over the coming months!

I would love to be here for New Years Day, it is The Inns at mill Falls in New Hampshire, New England USA, perfect service, perfect views, twinkly lights, good food and nice coffee. Not wishing to brag but have you noticed the badge, who needs an MBE in the New Years honours list when you have one of these! If you are considering visiting New England and especially New Hampshire get in touch with me and I will bore you to death and help you with your plans.
