Enjoying a cup of tea

After a busy week I was happy to have my latest issue of Somerset Life arrive in the mail on Friday morning. Perfect time for having a nice peaceful cup of tea and a flick through the magazine.

I was sitting at the kitchen table and looked up and saw a great reflection in the bottom of the mirror.

It was the reflection of my Family Photo wall.

I love seeing this wall of everchanging photos of my family.

Pretty cup and seaglass from my local Mt. Martha beach on the kitchen table

Love the colour of this wall

I often change over the photos in the frames.

The top 3 photos are wedding shots.

On the left is my parents wedding which was a double wedding shared with my mothers sister.

The middle photo is of my own wedding

The last photo is of Max's Nanna and Pops wedding

The wall to the left of my Family Photo wall has on old meat safe cupboard against it.

I have been tempted to paint it white but so far I haven't done it.

I love the painted canvas on this wall that has a lovely quote on it.

Family Faces are magic mirrors

Looking at people who belong to us

we see the past present and future.

I can't remember where I first saw this quote but I loved it and painted it on the canvas.

Lots of visitors have copied this quote and done it for their own homes

There is a photo of my son Michael taken when he did his army training

Love this old table I use in the kitchen.

Got it for $5.00 at a garage sale. As you can see by all of the cuts and splashes in the table top it was used in a shed as a work bench

I love all of its imperfections

Love the timber and paint left on the legs

Hope everyone has a great weekend

SOMERSET LIFE & RHUBARB PIE

OH NO - MY MAGAZINE

I was so excited to get my latest copy of Somerset Life in the mail but oh dear, look what happened. It got water damaged on it's way way to Australia.

I emailed Customer Service (with a couple of pics) just to let them know what happened in case they wanted to change their packaging.

See the water damage

I oh so slowly prised the pages apart with a knife.
Looks a bit tattered doesn't it.

Linda Wood a Customer Service Representative emailed letting me know that they would send me another copy. That was so nice of them. Something I didn't really expect.
So below you see my new copy of Somerset Life.
I emailed them on the 1st October and had my new magazine by 6th October.
That is fabulous service seeing as it had to come all the way to Australia



MAX'S RHUBARB PIE

Look what Max turned my rhubarb into.

Yummy rhubarb pie - tasted fabulous with a little ice cream.
