fireside tea
“I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.”
from; The Lord of the Rings – J.R.R. Tolkien
and there is nothing so nice as a good cup of tea and a wee bit of chocolate
a surprise package arrived from my friend Meg, who has a charming holiday home in Gascony, South-West France. www.autourneur.com
if ever you are in need of an adventure in the French countryside you can book a stay at “Au Tourneur”
Meg’s daughter, Martine has just opened her second chocolate/sweet shop
if you drop in for a treat tell Martine I sent you.
Meg and I first met many years ago at Japanese night classes at UVic.
and now to tea and chocolate – and knitting by the fire.
lovely gift, chocolate is always in good taste! tea is delightful, but hot cocoa sounds delicious right now. what are you knitting? i am still spinning during the slow times at work (my eccentricity knows no bounds!).
