Reading Mitford is a soul comfort... tender and cozy

"Your goodness to me has been overwhelming.
How tender you are, though I am often as tough as gristle.
How patiently you have loved me since you made up your mind to love me always."

~ Jan Karon

Azaleas

I love spring... the garden is blooming.  The azaleas are especially lovely.




I can just sit with my good cat and stare at the garden.

Becca in the kitchen

Rebecca made these chocolate muffins a few days ago and last night she made supper, consisting of meatloaf, coleslaw, cauliflower rice and roasted butternut.  I agree with Wayne, that her meatloaf was better than mine.

Two weeks ago, it was all Shakespeare prose

"Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice"
~ William Shakespeare



Amazing to think that he walked down these streets with his head full of timeless words.


I was so excited to be at his house.

More snippets, a little further north


We stayed on a farm in Elderminster, which was beautiful. Endless rolling green.




Loved breakfast with the delicate English china.

Becca outside Selfridges - had to pop in there after watching the BBC series 


'Shall I have cream or cream with my scone?'

Know this

This is what I want my daughter to know and may it resonate throughout her being...
