friend therapy...

I might be a slow learner, but I’m beginning to appreciate the therapeutic value - absolute necessity - of spending time with friends.

Yesterday - case in point. Fiona and I set off on what she called a Ladies day out. First stop - a charming shop in Longford - about 20 minutes south of Launceston. Lofty, by name and lofty in terms of sooo many lovely things to look at, touch and imagine on any surface in my home.

I really had only planned on sharing this lovely place with Fiona; hadn’t had any plan to bring anything home with me.

Well, it really does look lovely on my front door - and so welcoming to anyone who drops in for a cuppa.

Small price to pay really, for a day filled with laughter, healthy wingeing about husbands and some in-depth chat about our writing obsession. Oh, and another lovely whatnot to add to my beautiful home.
