if i could squeeze you all with blog hugs after your gorgeous messages, emails & comments 

yesterday i would...

when life throws you lemons...i guess sometimes, you just need to try & make lemonade the best way

you can!?





so...for me...that means *nesting*...bunkering down & creating a little haven for us all here...


cooking...& warming the house with smells of soup & garlic & big hearty warming casseroles...


comfort food...Autumn food...

i want peace & a calm to think...cooking gives me this...




 i'm needing to create little moments that embrace the change of seasons...

moments that let me mother & love & create & to be the wife & partner i strive to be...

things that keep me focused...

i guess i'm happiest, like so many of us, when my surroundings reflect the life i'm striving to lead...

i find creating *moments* like {this} give me peace...

maybe these are *moments* that weigh up the racing around...the juggle of the *rest of it all*




so...today i'm tending to a poorly boy at home with his mama...

i'm sewing & making...

i'm popping down for a local market fix to our village square- for a lump of farmers butter 

wrapped in brown paper & some local {Bowland Forest} meats... 
 

 

hope you are having a wonderful start to your season...

embracing the local produce & creating your own little haven...

i am
