My home is coming alive and I'm feeling rejuvinated.The winter blanket that cocooned it is finaling been lifted! I feel ready for some spring-cleaning action; baking, cooking, sundrenched bedrooms, braais, suntanning and a world of colour!
My little one-legged wagtail friend chirps every morning at our bar room door for his little bite of cheese! Chloe (the retriever) is desperate to take a bite!
My idea of a lazy Sunday afternoon would be a lunch in my garden accompanied by good friends and a chilled bottle of Chardonnay or two and a slow roasted Karoo leg of lamb stuffed with Rosemary and garlic, a wonderful quiche, Mediterranean grilled veggies and a sour dough bread with lashings of olive oil and balsamic vinegar! Ahhh.
I'm so content that we have returned to our old home near the sea and hopefully will be here for a while! It's not our most modern home; in fact, it needs some repairs to certain areas but it certainly exhumes character and if only these walls could talk! Our children are the happiest in this home...a Friday evening always starts with my husband lighting a fire for a braai! No -one can braai a steak like he can. My garden is just another room of our home...here we sit and dream, have a pre-dinner drink and snack whilst we await that delicious steak. It is served simply with a hot baguette, fresh sliced tomato and a good onion marmalade. Made for relaxation, to just chill!
I always like to set my table as this is where I can catch up with my hectic family, share in their week, offer advice and then there's that endless dreaming...people who dream the most do the most! I take great care to cut some blooms from the garden, a sprig or 2 of rosemary, some old silverware and white plates and then a beautifully white starched cloth and white serviettes.
Oh what bliss!
