Everything single thing in that photograph is beautiful. I want to steal that plant, that typewriter and that cup! I can relate to many of the thoughts on your list and feel mostly content too. But I really wish we could find a more compassionate and humanitarian way to deal with refugees. I feel our children will look back in disgust at this, as we look back at the white Australia policy, or so many other misguided moments in history.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to read and comment on the blog. It means a lot! Have a wonderful week. May you get a beautiful sunshiny day for cross country. :)
Haha! I spent months looking at slow cooker recipes before I finally bought a slow cooker two months ago! I love it - and now think I should have bought one last winter! Diy pizzas for 10 to cook for? They're always a hit here :) glad you are content; and hope your daughter feels better soon xxxx
