Thank you so much for all the lovely comments in response to my cottage photos! I'm so pleased everyone likes them, I love showing people around our home so I like to think that I have now given you all a personal tour (although you'll have to imagine the tea and cake that I usually give to all my house guests!)
In my haste to share my interior collages with you last weekend, I realised that I left out the images of the kitchen, garden and Holly and Ivy! So here they are; above are a few of the best shots that I have had so far from the garden. Looking at these lush images and looking out at the rather desolate garden I have just now it's hard to believe that it will (hopefully!) but like this again in three or four months!

The kitchen is another difficult place to photograph as it is long and narrow - what I wouldn't give for a kitchen big enough to have a table in! I think if I ever have the chance to design a kitchen from scratch I would definitely go for free standing; with a lovely old dresser, meat safe, sideboard, old wall cupboards and some open shelves. It would be lovely!

And finally Holly and Ivy; for me the cottage really wouldn't be the same without them. They love to be involved in whatever I'm doing and they bring me much amusement with their crazy antics in the garden and round the cottage! They definitely make our house a home.
