🐌 Most happy to be settling into home at the tiny terrace again, & taking these fog filled days ever so gently - lots of blanket besnugged napping with the beloved little hound curled up close, & ink drinking book companions for this time of convalescence...

Out on lightly snow frosted grass is a wooden toolbox holding vintage bird books & a little tub of lino carving tools leftover from my highschool art supplies - time to remember how to use them!

Four pictures, the first a wooden toolbox holding vintage bird books & lino cutting tools, the next a hand knitted scarf tied about a wooden hanger & hung on a dark painted shed door, the next two of frosty snowy garden stones with snow boots in one, & a blurry little coat bundled up sausage dog in the other.
