This is my favourite breed of dog.
The Lakeland.
This Vintage Dogie is what hubby found the Sunday exactly one week after lost our beloved
Guy, now that is a coincidence as I have been longing for one of these Vintage Lakelands for years, so it was a little, very little consolation, something to hold.

And my little boy Teddy The Lakeland
favourite cushion is Cabbage & Roses.
I have to agree.
I never tire of the wonderful
designs and colours.
is where to find lots of lovely things for the home.
We will soon be trialing sending abroad from 1st April.
Recently we added English Eccentrics Candles to our collectiom.
I wanted to try out one for myself.
Tea With The Queen
It is oh so delicate.
Fresh Violets and DarjeerlingTea.
It is an unusual scent but perfect for a fine afternoon.
Burning as you serve an afternoon tea for friends.
With the Queens Golden Jubilee coming soon
it really is the perfect candle to celebrate with.
I love my candles and always light one when at home.
I have many, depending on the mood and time of day.
And.
I have been awarded two of
these below.
I take them with honour, girls.
Thank you so much fellow bloggers
Jilly and Manda
You can find them here by following the link.
I have decided not answer the questions as I have over the years,
probably given all my answers already.

But thank you both so very much.
Recently my youngest daughter Johanna and her fiance Steve, treated us both to a lovely weekend in
London staying in St Ermins Hotel.
We started our day with a ride on the London Eye.
I had forgot my camera, can you believe it! me who photographs everything!!
Thanks to my i phone I captures these.
Shell Centre where I used to work in
Finance.
Big Ben & Westminster.
And looking across the river to Shell UK and its famous clock
I have worked here too.
Ah those were the days!
Ah those were the days!
This Red London Bus caught my eye as it crossed Westminster Bridge.
The views across Westminster, the South Bank, Buckingham Palace and beyond are wonderful.

London is great.
And the clean up since having a Mayor is vastly improved.

We arrived at the Hotel.
It is a traditional hotel with a beautiful reception area.
And my images are not doing it justice at all.
We had a large room with lounge area and gorgeous marble bathroom.
Our room looked out over the courtyard gardens.
Just a quick cuppa.
And a little lie down for me.
Before we set off for lunch at Harvey Nichols 5th floor restaurant.
I am flying through this........
After lunch and a spot of shopping then
we returned to the hotel to get ready to go out for
dinner at Langdons.
A nice walk back to the hotel
The cold fresh air was welcome.
Our hotel was all twinkles
like Christmas time.
And then just a couple of these.
Served by them!
Great guys.
Just another quick photo of the reception.
Before we retired to our room.
Before we knew it time to get up.
We had a leisurely morning.
With late check out, which is the best!
And a hearty breakfast.
We then bid goodbye to the Bowler Hatted Man At The Door....
and left to catch another train to Clapham for another quick bit of shopping there on our way home.
Clapham has got some great shops.
We love to pack it all in on a weekend away!
Bags full and wet as it was pouring with rain and then as
we ran to catch our train
hubby got stuck in the turnstile, as the bottom fell out of the lovely
brown paper shopping bag!!!.
Our Cabbages & Roses fabric
causing congestion as he tried
to pick it all up whilst lodged in the turnstile of the train station!!!
We arrived home totally shattered.
Slumped down on the sofa for the evening.
And thought what a great weekend we have had.
So I have sort of caught up with everything I need to do.
But sat here tonight and did think.
Is it time to delete Facebook and Blogger.
Is life too demanding with all these apts, tweets, blogs and Facebook?
Yes it certainly is.
Would I miss it?
Well I do not know.
But that little voluntary job in the village library which is calling is never going to happen if I try to continue with everything I at this present time.
Do you feel under pressure from the I phone and laptop?
I do and I don't.....
Well shall wait and see.
Bye for Now
