Welcome , welcome to you all, how are you and what have you been up to this last week. Things are still not letting up for me as far as being busy is concerned ! I just do not have a lot of time to even turn round or even smell the coffee. 🙂
Now where are my manners come on in and get comfortable as you can see Paul has done a great job with the place , we even have a fantastic set of cushions to match the marquee and rugs!
This is just one end and we have different themes in different parts of the marquee, we shall be decorating for Halloween, fireworks night, Thanks Giving and Christmas so if anyone wants to suggest an interior or some decorations do please send me and Paul a link so we can incorporate your ideas in to our space . By our I mean yours, Paul’s and my space!
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would be so pleased to see you and very pleased for the chance to sit down and have a cuppa with you.
I do try not to be too controversial here but I do think that I should say something about the latest murder of an innocent man by Isil . So far two Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff and two British men David Haines Alan Henning have been beheaded by a nameless faceless shadow. I am truly stunned by the barbarity and ugliness of the way these men’s lives has been taken. Not only were they beheaded but also videoed and shown on youtube. Apparently another American medic has been named as their next victim. I pray for him but I ear those who hold him and hide their faces appear to be without mercy.
All this is very sad well actually sad does not quite cover it, it is sad, dreadful evil even. I will not say any more because I do not want to politicize our coffee space but I would like to pray for all these killings to end . Maybe whatever your faith or creed you could join me.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would say okay that is all I wanted to say on that sad matter. Lets move on . We have had what is called an Indian Summer, this usually means beautiful sunny and hot weather in late September and early October. This
last week has been amazing and so this morning it was a disappointment to awake to a drop of 5 degrees in temperature and pouring rain! But hey I am not complaining the gardens really do need the rain !
Over on the left is a photo I took on Wednesday when the husband and I took an afternoon walk by the river it was so like the hight of summer, hot, sunny and such a treat!
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would regale you with the great day I had on Thursday my friend and I had a another day trip into London. I had as I always do enjoyed Tangental’s blog and I had been enamoured by his post My kinda town part 2 I do urge you to pop over to Geoff’s blog I can really recommend it!
Well, armed with Geoff’s blog on my phone and a map and suggestions from the husband, who also worked in the Fleet Street and Inns of Court areas for many years, probably overlapping and passing each other on occasion! Well we had a wonderful day full of sun, fun and barristers, lawyers, students and cats !
We had a wonderful time. We had lunch at the Ye old Cheshire Cheese and walked miles. We had a very nice young man, a lawyer, maybe a barrister take our photo, he told us we looked like Kate Moss we told him he needed glasses! We saw barristers running around carrying robes, wigs and brief cases.
We even saw one young lady dressed to the nines, slip off her comfy shoes and put on her killer heels before she entered one of the chambers! We smiled at her and said time for your big girl’s job shoes! she laughed and nodded in agreement !
We set off for home after a lovely day and in the evening we went out with our husbands to celebrate our joint birthdays, a fortnight apart so we had chosen a date in between! Thanks Geoff for the post that gave us such a great day and thanks hubby for the extra information
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would say okay Saturday has been a total wash out, gym in the morning then shopping in the afternoon, near row with hubby managed to avoid it by just ignoring him until he stopped moaning! Today Sunday we are off out for a hog roast with really good friends, so I am happy about that.
So come on would you like some more cake, of tea/ coffee, have you been over to Paul’s amazing part of the Marquee he certainly is worth a visit!
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would ask you if you would like another cuppa, or another cake . I’d tell you I have really come to enjoy these chats and I’d love to hear what you would tell me. Please feel free to stay as long as you like and don’t forget to visit Paul’s post now while you are here! If we were having Coffee Original idea from http://parttimemonster.wordpress.com/
