Petersham Nursery

Lovely Mrs G took me to Petersham Nursery for a birthday treat

of the most delicious portuguese custard tart :-)

and coffee........oh that tart was the stuff of dreams!

Look at all the shiny things on display.

Lots of heavy sighing and a big case of wanties.

Might have to go back and load up on the christmas decs.

All too gorgeous, thanks Lizzie for a lovely day

places I'd rather be.........#1

 Here would do nicely thank you!

(not Sports Direct - land of nylon, with large-haired eldest 
and lovely godson in search of football boots, gum shields, 

shin pads and shiny footy tops).

cool camping

Look at these beautiful igloo pods set in an eco resort and spa in the village of Les Cerniers, in the Swiss Alps. Whitepod is a wonderful concept of designer pods set amongst the Swiss snowy mountains with all the luxury & cosiness you can shake an Ugg boot at. That's my idea of camping; a proper, comfy bed and a roaring fire, none of your lost tent pegs and wafffffer-thin sleeping mats here. Put on a pan of mulled wine, a big old stew and some woolly socks.........stunning!

dennis severs' house

This wonderful Georgian Terrace house near Spitalfields Market, was owned and created by American Dennis Severs, who lived in the house until his death in 1999. He created it as a 'still-life drama', an installation, where one can enter, as if stepping through a painting, into the imaginary world of Mr & Mrs Jervis. In the dining room the table is set as though they have just finished dinner and wandered off to another room. You are aware of the chattering and daily life, but it's some way in the distance and you can't quite touch it.

At Christmas the house opens up to a magical tour (available 21st nov - 6th jan).
A special 'silent' tour is also available with champagne around the fireside to finish.

Thanks for the link Mrs H x
