Yesterday was one of those days. It started with a phone call at 5 in the morning from the school district saying there was a two hour delay due to ice. Chaos ensued as the kids were involved in a minor fender bender, (thankfully, neither of my kids or their friends got hurt.... praise to the big guy upstairs). I had to help a friend who was emotionally distraught. You know those types of days... we have all been there.
It got me fantasizing about running away and renting a little cottage in the English countryside, (think Cameron Diaz in, The Holiday). Just a cozy cottage, no phone, a toasty fire, and a cute European car to roam the open roads.
Oh thank GOD that everyone is fine! And your dreams of running away to a cottage in a far away land? STUNNING. My dreams too. That is why I am making my little brick cottage an escape from all the fender benders of the day!!!! LOVELY, Anita

Thank goodness no one was hurt! So over this winter as well!
ReplyDeleteOMG, COUNT ME IN! I've had that whole week! Let's go, seriously, right now! Oh, and I loved your post at A Diary of Lovely, I am going to have to check out the Kat Von D perfume. Glad your family is alright. And yes, the font issue seems to have resolved itself, who knew? XX!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a scary thing with kids on the road. i always worry about mine who have been in quite a few fender bender and in an instance a miracle he survived and walked out with just bad bruises. It was not his time.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, enjoy your "fantasy" time in this wonderful cottage. Would love to pop in for tea!
Oh can I please come too??? Would so so love to get away and that little trip sounds just about perfect. So happy to hear everyone was ok yesterday!!! xo
ReplyDeleteOh yes, fantasize away! I'm right there with u, sweetie :)

ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy day today! So glad your kids are alright. We had freezing rain here as well - scary!
ReplyDeleteI saw the pic of the house and it made me miss home. That is my absolute favorite style of British home (well, second favorite after the large abandoned estate....both need to be a bit hidden).
ReplyDeleteA cottage get away sounds divine and well needed! I had an entire week like your yesterday, hence the no blog or visiting blogs!!! But thankfully today is a good day! Love these pictures! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear no was injured in the fender bender... and so happy that your friend is blessed with you for a friend, when she needed someone.
ReplyDeleteAs for the cottage where do we sign up? I can be ready in no time!!! Your escape sounds beautiful ~ just thinking about it has a calming affect!!
Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week! xo HHL
