The Dorothy Days - Things I am loving this week...

  • Blueberry Muller Rice (I can't get enough of this at the moment!)
  • Mint tea made from fresh mint leaves and boiling water
  • Thick socks!! It has certainly been cold this week so my thick socks have been in high demand!
  • That it feels more like Autumn. I miss the sunshine but I do also love the Autumn and can't wait until it is cold enough to get the fire lit!
  • Spending time catching up with friends and family. I have been doing a lot of it this week and you just can't beat it!

Wordless Wednesday- The English Countryside

Hi everyone,

Sorry that my blog has been so quiet recently, I had a few days away on holiday down to Cornwall (which, for those of you who don't know Britain very well, is a beautiful part of Britain right on the coastline). The weather here has been awful and we have all been feeling short changed as it really has not been summer weather but now this week has been the most beautiful week full of blue skies and sunshine. In fact today has been the hottest day of the year so far :) .....summer is FINALLY here!! Being in Cornwall was lovely and I can't believe how lucky we got with the weather. I got back today from my holiday and shall spend tomorrow catching up with my blog, etsy shop, facebook and twitter pages and also my emails so please bare with me, I promise that there shall be some good blog posts coming soon :).

Thanks to everyone who took a look in my shop this week, I sold my first upcycled letter writing set :).

Anyway....back to my not so wordless wednesday.....

Some nonsense for today....

Hello everyone,

For those of you who don't know, today would have been Edward Lear's 200th birthday! Lear was an English author, poet, illustator and artist who was born in London in the 1812. He is most famous for his book of nonsense so I thought I would commemorate the day by sharing with you some nonsense from the book of nonsense!!

They are rather weird and wonderful but I hope these make you smile....they made me :) .....

There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who watched his wife making a stew;
But once by mistake,
In a stove she did bake,
That unfortunate Man of Peru

There was a Young Lady of Portugal,
Whose ideas were excessively nautical:
She climbed up a tree,
To examine the sea,
But declared she would never leave Portugal.

The was a Young Lady of Bute,
Who played on a silver-gilt flute;
She played several jigs,
To her uncle's white pigs,
That amusing Young Lady of Bute.
