Outside and In


"The weather outside is frightful"......


Yesterday it was dank and dreary and monochrome.


It threatened snow at the dog park


and was plain dull walking home.


The dog sat in my armchair looking fed up.



In the afternoon it did start to snow


and was vile to go out in


though somewhat picturesque.



So it was bliss to go to Frances' house for tea and admire her decorations


eat yummy Mexican wedding cakes


and delight in red berries.


Updates:
The winner of my most recent giveaway is Em Parkinson. Em, please email me so I can send you the $50 Novica gift code. I got a silk scarf and some lovely Thai paper....

Go to Cait O'Connor's thoughtful blog for a very kind review of my novel A Fortunate Child. I'm glowing.

  3. Looks very cosy at your friend's house, just the thing after your walk. The weather does look a bit chilly...

  7. Looks like we are having the same weather. Constant lashings of rain and very dark and dismal.

  14. Elizabeth, I SO enjoy your photos. I am not on IG (or blogs) much any more, and I miss them. I sort of live vicariously in NYC through them.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May your spirit expand and soar in 2013. Our little babies will grow so much in the next year, won't they?
