Hibernate: Vintage stoves.....

It is a dreary cold, wet and windy evening here in the South West of England, so here are some beautiful vintage stoves to 'warm your cockles' as my grand-pa would say!

In a Silent Way....

Cabin fever in Montana

Log cabin

I have sat at the computer for 45 minutes with a  blank mind, just not feeling all the blog posts I have prepared in my mind. I spend this time looking through my secreat Pinterest board of ideas and nothing comes to me............

........then my boyfriend puts on Miles Davis' In a Silent Way..... I spot a picture of a lonely cabin and start day dreaming about snuggling up in front of an open fire with a dram of Scottish Whiskey, a thick wool blanket, a good book and Miles Davis playing on the turntable..... Bliss!

Overgrown Hideaway...

David Brook and Debi Trelore Easy Living 2005

Before I first started blogging I picked up a copy of a magazine in the dentist and I remember thinking how magical this place looked. Huge overgrown plants covering the windows and walls. Pretty white lace curtains covering the old timber door frame. And behind an inviting looking sofa was a photo wall. It made me want a secret hiding place, the kind of place only I could go, maybe a studio to write or create art, or even just read and be alone.

We all need those days or moments to be alone and just breathe... the desire to spend time alone doesn't have to be through negativity in our day. Sometimes it is just great to be still and reflect, to have no noise bouncing around in our brains like a pinball...

This place would be a dreamy place to regather your thoughts wouldn't it?

I have been thinking more about where I would like to awake from my hibernation. I have dwindled it down to any of the above!

So where would you like to wake up after hibernating?
