A Happy Friendly Dragon

Looking out the window yesterday, I saw the Growler walking up our road. I've worried a little about him because he's not been around for a while. He was dressed in black from head to toe so it seems he's going for the distinguished look this autumn.

Yeehaw, it's a rootin'-tootin' Hyacinth!

dear friends, gander at the following magic of nature:
a while back the ever-generous Benhästen gave me a lovely gift

one hyacinth bulb + one particularly shaped glass vase

them instructions called for coolness & darkness. a combo easily achieved; it's autumn and this building is built in the 1960ies by sterling Victorian builders (ie. firm believers in drafts)
and add to that an excellent party hat left over from a rather grand luncheon a few years back

well, nothing seemed to happen for weeks...

and now look what happened last few days!

YES -a sure sign that something beautiful is comming hither.
This will be very very good, I'm so ready for that. And thank you!

Autumn Armagnac

Yes, yes, yes. Lah-lah-lah (how to write a sterling song)



November has begun, folks. I predict a month filled with impeccable tailoring, plenty of large smiles, handsomeness and if we are real lucky; perhaps a visit to the coiffeur!

...it's the quiet ones

One white little pumpkin & Mr Fox hamming it up.

for starters just look at them excellent legs!

I have words to explain how much I love this clip

Today metaphorically looks like this. Last night the rain was pouring down but today it's very warm, bright and sunny. I see this as a good sign. Happy Tuesday to you all.

As you see above last week at choir-practice
I spotted another book of note.

(Sorry for teh blurry-ness, my hand trembled a tad from
sheer over-excitement when trying to take a sneaky photo)

Rumble in teh Jumble

Happy Monday to you ALL, I hope you've had a wonderful weekend.

Here's the pictorial evidence from Them Elks's trip to an excellent jumble sale. It was pretty full of hipster bargain-hunters but we still managed to find some fab. finds before retreating to a traditional Sunday coffee and cake ritual:

Bob for a mere pound & the scarf for free!

a small charming purse,
perfect for them embroidery needles & scissors

.and lastly: a nice tailored vintage dress!

...still without the cassettes

Thank you kindly for all the sweet well wishes of late!
The lurgy is now gone and I'm sure it's all thanks to you.

Let us now continue with some more lessons in the most beautiful tongue in the world:

here we practice phrases of politeness mixed with genuine concern
(and let us not forget the importance of a two handed handshake)
