Like yourself, spent ages trying to catch up on everyone elses blog last night; wound up crossed eyed and dizzy.<BR/><BR/>Glorious blog - as always - love the WBY, here's one for you "Nil aon tintean, mar do tintean fein" - there's no fireside like your own fireside. Your fireside sounds like heaven. Otters eh? You lucky thing you!<BR/><BR/>p.s., Have just finished painting the hall, stairs and landing Golden Bay [lovely warm yellow] the kitchen is Primrose yellow.

In our old house we had F&B's "Hay" - it's funny how the light can dictate just the right shade, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>I'm a night owl rather than a lark - and tend to sit up too late trying to catch up on blogs. But, like you, life is getting in the way of computer at the moment, and I am making the most of being able to be outside. Winter and dark nights are all too close.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the sunshine.xxWoozle1967https://www.blogger.com/profile/10438625886508520803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-84596552780857959792007-08-03T20:49:00.000-07:002007-08-03T20:49:00.000-07:00Mmmmmm - Van Morrison singing Brown Eyed Girl - an...Mmmmmm - Van Morrison singing Brown Eyed Girl - and that was my request!<BR/>Lovely blog again Cait.

The poem is wonderful I had read that a long time ago I think. I have always loved the Otters they are so mischievious, did you see them on Spring-Watch recently? I have William Morris Wallpaper in the living area, but I have been meaning to change it, as it is rather bold, and does not do my paintings justice, would look better on plain wall I think. My kitchen and study walls are a Yellow/Gold colour, and it is a very soothing colour I agree.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the info on the books Cait, I have noted them down.<BR/>Erpingham I think is about 40 minutes from us, I live in Reepham, a small Georgian Town first established in 1211.<BR/><BR/>I read today that poor Shambo has been slaughtered, I felt so angry and upset when I read it, but I know this has been a very controversial debate of late. Heck! I had better hit the sack, it's 2am in the morning. Thank you for all your kind comments Cait.<BR/><BR/>Camilla.xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-88459243147782711932007-07-29T12:21:00.000-07:002007-07-29T12:21:00.000-07:00I had to laugh when I read this Cait- in another o...I had to laugh when I read this Cait- in another of our weird coincidences, Matthew lived - until about 6 weeks ago - 2 doors away from me.

However my son's nursery teacher told me recently that she caught T.B of some local sheep about a year ago and was extremelly ill apparantly her cat caught it off them and passed it on to her. She was doubly upset because she lost her cat.<BR/><BR/>Another wonderful quote at the beginning of your blog you are excellent at picking out things like that I have a whole list saved and when winter proper comes I am intending to copy them into a personal diary to keep by my bed so that will be my bedside literature.annakareninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185509518913591643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-57423914473000389872007-07-29T08:45:00.000-07:002007-07-29T08:45:00.000-07:00I love Yeats - and the poem is one of my favourite...I love Yeats - and the poem is one of my favourites.
