Happy 3rd of January......

Source:inspired design

......No, it's not a new day of celebration.

I'm just late in writing a New Year's blog!

So that's one of my resolutions broken already - Never mind- life goes on!!

I like this time of the year. Whether or not you make resolutions, I love the optimism of a brand new year full of good intentions and aspirations.

......I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and look forward to reading many more blogs and making many more friends.

......And breathe......

At this time of the year......

When each hour only seems to have fifty minutes......

When our homes are being decorated to within an inch of their lives.....

And we turn cooking and shopping into an Olympic sport.

Just stop, and take a minute to appreciate some of the simpler things in life......

Climbing into a freshly laundered bed......

There's something about lights on a string......

And the silence of a snowy scene from the comfort of your own home......

I know its easier said than done, but lets just enjoy the simple things.

Hope you have a lovely week,

Who stole November?......

Where did that month go?

I can't believe we are now at the beginning of December.

Real life has overtaken 'blog life' and I have barely managed to keep up to date with my favourite blogs, let alone sit down to write one of my own.

So what does December hold for us?

Of course we can now use the 'C' word with gay abandon.

Jet lag, what jet lag?......

Boston...... Fab,

No.1Snowdrop...... Happy and healthy,

Beacon Hill...... Cool,

Clam chowder...... Yummy,

Hurricane Sandy...... Interesting,

U.S Election TV coverage...... Bonkers!!

We had a lovely time, and it was great to see our son in his new College home. Thank you for all of your good wishes.

As I get older, overnight transatlantic flights get harder and harder.

But I'm learning that for me I have to go straight to bed, even if its just for a few hours.

There's nothing like your own bed, but here are a few others I wouldn't mind climbing in to!

Loving Real Fires......

We had the first real log fires of the year on the weekend.

I love everything about them......

The order of the log store......

The warmth and cozy glow......

The smell......

I don't even mind the clearing out of the grate the next morning......

Here are some wonderful images of some impressive fires and fire surrounds. Some grand, some quite simple.

Fifty Lovely Shades Of Gre......

......EEN.

Isn't this the most glorious colour?......

Autumn is well and truly upon us, the leaves on the trees are rapidly turning russet and brown, and before we know it they will have gone and we will be left with the bareness of Winter and all that that brings with it.

I have found some beautiful images to remind us what an optimistic colour green is.

Dont worry, there aren't fifty of them!......
