the lead up to christmas blessed with snow...
whether we will get it in our front garden {like last year}...we just don't know yet...
but us aussie's here have our fingers {& toes} crossed big time...!
i don't think we've reached much above *0* all day...the least we are due with this cold snap, is a little lovely snow...!
so with my love of all things white & english today...i want to send a *friday flower* to one of the loveliest english roses i have met...
Laura from *a place for tea*...she is my english travelling counterpart...
she is in the US of A....on the doorstep of NYC...
& i am in her old stamping ground...
i'm oohing & aahing over Robins...& holly...& storybook english scenes
& thinking of her...
my folks are arriving in the morning...
& Laura, in new jersey, has her mum visiting from england...
we both know how precious these times are...
living away from home...from the country you know...the people you love...
it gives you a wonderfully simple perspective on life & a love for living in *other* ways...
so in thanks to her...for being my on-line *living-abroad-with-kiddos* partner...
for being a friend...a true friend & kindred spirit...
a wonderful mother...& an inspiration to *leap* into all that living abroad has to offer...
i want to say thank you with my english roses...
i have a gorgeous british bestie...
who lives at the other end of our village...
i adore her sense of humour & wit...
i adore her love for england & life in general...
& you remind me of her...
{i can't imagine a day without her in it}
perhaps thats why, when i stumbled upon your blog, i knew we'd be friends...
happy friday lovely friend
can you see the reindeer antlers i stuck in the roses for you?
i didn't have a *robin*
but
i did have a funny looking branch
that i have been pulling out every year since
we dusted the sand off our feet
& arrived in this english countryside
it absolutely reminds us of deer in scotland
but more err....tree like!
the robin's almost in the post!!
xoxox
so...if you love an english rose
a cup of endless tea
or
a glass of wine
&
want a little moment on the doorstep of NYC
go have a chat with laura
...she's lovely...
