07 Dec Winter Escape
I’m a little under the weather at the moment so need a little escape.
Let’s pretend that I’m this girl just lying there in the snow.
My name is Delphine.
I’m waiting for my gorgeous better half to arrive…
and whisk me away for the weekend.
He’s taking me to our country cottage in the English countryside.

Here it is.
This is just our weekend escape of course.
We plan on spending a few days doing nothing but lying together in front of the fireplace, wrapped in luxurious fur blankets and smiling blissfully like there isn’t a place we’d rather be.
Something like in the movie ‘The Holiday’- you’ve seen it I’m sure.
After a few days of pure sweet nothings, we’ll head back to the city and our London terrace house.
So hope you enjoyed the little tour of our two homes/life.
We’re pretty fond of it all.

And of course, you know how the story goes…we end up living happily ever after.
Ah….a little diversion is such a good thing.
Hope you liked and PS…wasn’t that kitchen insanely good?

I hope you’re feeling better, but if being under the weather makes you pop magical posts, well… 😉

Posted at 09:57h, 07 DecemberI must say that Jack Black totally ruined “The Holiday” for me. Couldn’t they have found a better love interest for the fab Kate Winslet?
Now that I’ve got that out… WOW the pillowed bench in the dining room with the canopy? Quite the lovely escape!

I have always dreamed of having a wide open bathroom with a vintage soaking tub…ahhhh someday! I would rather have a large bathroom than a large bedroom…do you agree?
Lovin’ your blog!

Posted at 01:28h, 08 DecemberI love your new design! How did you do it? I am getting my new blog header soon, not sure it is really “me” as I won it and I could only choose from pre-made templates. Chose the simplest ones and could have “extra” had to pay for it 🙁 I will try it out for a while and maybe re-vamp soon!
Love this post by the way. Hope you are feeling better 🙂
