We are using our little spare room upstairs as a sitting-room, which is nice and warm and sunny in the colder months. We gave away the spare bed and put some small armchairs. I am enjoying gradually making it inviting with things I find around the house.

Since my twins were born, and now homeschooling has started up, I just haven't made the time for regular communications with you. So, I'm starting today by reading your encouraging blog once again. I do take my afternoon tea/coffee each day, and it is always something I greatly Andrea Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350050560646748425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-76447329010723804172015-09-21T07:04:16.863-07:002015-09-21T07:04:16.863-07:00You are good to remind us, beautifully, to 'ta...You are good to remind us, beautifully, to 'take tea'...thank you LydiaLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348738696117669746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-49256264555998683352015-09-21T06:27:47.272-07:002015-09-21T06:27:47.272-07:00Lovely reminder... and just a side note, my husban...Lovely reminder... and just a side note, my husband and I were able to have tea at the Empress for our honeymoon.
