Weekend Guests

Guests for the weekend
so, there were flowers from the garden


and candles for the tables.


a tour of the garden


even though it was a bit chilly



cake, of course


with sweet white wine and vanilla custard


but today they have gone, and so has the sunshine


it has rained all day



and we are still waiting for the real summer to arrive

    The door way on your side bar looks so interesting. I wish you would tell me where it is? Thanks for sharing. Richard at My Old Historic House

    Hi Anna, such beautiful roses, and the Hydrangea in the garden is fantastic! The cake with the vanilla custard I would die for and your blue and white ginger jars are fabulous! So there, I want it all! Thankyou so much for your lovely comments, I do hope we get more days at the beach, we all love it so much, it has a very calming effect on us. You have a wonderful summer too, looks like you will be busy at the beach too! Love Linda x

    Hello Anna:
    One of life's greatest pleasures for your friends must surely be to be invited as a guest at the Doll House. From what we see here, and from what we know through your beautiful posts, you take such exceptional care over absolutely everything, down to the smallest detail. Your house is utterly charming and delightful in every respect and we are certain that, rain or shine, the welcome visitors receive is without equal. Thank you, once again, for your generosity in sharing.

    You do everything with such style and elegance.
    So utterly different from English country living. At least as practised here.
