'It was colder, as the woman said. The wind came in little gusts. It was a day to be inside somewhere, cosseted and loved; by a warm fireside, with the clatter of friendly cups and saucers, a sleepy cat licking its paws, a cyclamen in a pot on the windowsill putting forth new buds.' Daphne Du Maurier The Parasites

What a lovely scene to set against that book title! And speaking of lovely, I'm swooning over the room in the picture.
ReplyDeleteAudrey - Din't let the book title put you off this book. It really is wonderful.
DeleteIsn't it just!I have instead huddled by the heater at work and cheered myself by shopping for new pens.
ReplyDeleteTonia - New stationery will cheer anything up anytime I feel.
DeleteThis perfectly describes the day we had yesterday! Very blustery and much colder than usual. I would have rather been in that gorgeous room than at my desk in the library, but I have to pay the bills and all that....
ReplyDeleteAnbolyn - Yes it would be lovely to be in that room whatever the weather
