The Louise bubble...

School breaks up today after what seems like the longest term! So much has happened! We are off tomorrow to Cornwall for a British 'bucket and spade' holiday. We are staying in a cottage that belongs to Prince Charles' Duchy of Cornwall, allegedly where the Middleton family spent their New Year's Eve! It's a slower pace, which is what we all need right now. And after some lovely comments suggesting I share my photos, here is what is in the world of me this week...

...geraniums in my porch...

...deer running through the wheat field; they come up to the house each evening, mother and child...

...quintessentially English Cowparsley...

...school speech day marquee...

...roses on the trellis...

...sunny evening long shadows...

...Boo's oldest toy...

...blurry summer orchard moon...

...an old picture of the Boos, but nonetheless what Cornwall is all about for us; slowing down...

  4. The other day, the hubby and I were having a hypothetical conversation, about where we would live if we had a choice of anywhere in the world. I chose Cornwall. Enjoy your break. So very envious! Lx
