This photo absolutely stopped me in my tracks and I couldn't wait to share it with you. I wish I could jump inside and spend some time with all of those beautiful things.

Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England. I absolutely love this section of the Cotswolds and I'm quite sure I have pictures of this house packed away taken in the 1970s long before digital. Please click to enlarge this beautiful photo ©Robert Silverwood via Flickr.

Time For A Nap

This sleeping puppy is so funny. He looks las if he's out cold. I couldn't resist stealing it from The Animal Blog.

Believe me, I know how he feels. I worked with the gutter cleaning guys earlier and have been raking leaves ever since. Unfortunately, a nap is not in my future.

Charming Low Maintenance Home



What could be better than a brick house with a slate roof? I'm always drawn to homes that look to be low maintenance as I face painting my cottage next spring. This one was built in 1938 and I'm sure it has been updated inside and out. The gardens are beautiful too, aren't they?
