I Thought I'd beaten it this year.....John had already had his dose of Flu a few months ago but no, it managed to attack me right in the middle of the festivities, ruining my Christmas Party run and keeping me in my bed until well after the New Year.I get very frustrated when I ache so much I can hardly do the simplest of tasks like get out of bed, but when even talking becomes painful you know you're in trouble!(that is, all except for John who loves the rest & peace & quiet from me). I have even managed to start SNORING for the first time in my life (due to the fact I've hardly been able to breathe) so now apparently,I can even give my John a run for his money!Yes-"La Grippe" truly got a grip on me!.... I thought I was well enough to arrange to meet a friend of ours-Laurent,who agreed to help us start training our wayward puppy Dita in the art of Pistage....(no,I'm not swearing at you-Pistage means Tracking in French),so off we went to Poitiers to meet him and give it a go. After standing on a windy hill in the middle of a field for 2 hours laying tracks and hanging on to the end of a long line whilst Dita pulled my arms off finding the neatly hidden Saucisses,I got home to find I hadn't got rid of it after all and have been full of cold for yet another week-so our apoligies for no Blog for a little while! HOWEVER!-I am pleased to say I'm BACK and went rooting amongst my boxes again yesterday to find Matisse asleep on some Vintage textiles instead of his bed-so HE got a blast from yours truly..........
and Dita decided she liked the look of one of the huge cardboard tubes that John keeps for posting certain items out in and duly ran off out into the garden with it.......trying to get her to part with things is quite difficult at the moment as she is being trained to hold on and don't let go, in another aspect of her training.....it's all fun and games here I can tell you.Anyway,we have unearthed yet more lovely items we'd forgotten we bought during the summer months and we try to keep it varied so there is something for everyone......
Gorgeous Paris Tapestry............
stunning Engravings contained within the pages of an Antique Missel..........
.........the Gilt-edged pages of which are so shiny they mirror any surface they are placed upon!......
there are lots of lovely things to come this week so for now this is all.The sun has decided to grace us with its' wonderful presence so I am off out in the garden to photograph all these delights for your perusal.Once again-wishing everyone a Happy New start to what hopefully will be a Happy New Year!A Bientot!.....
