My Charity Shop Find

I found this toast rack in a charity shop looking forlorn and black. I bought it for 75p. I polished it as soon as I arrived home - before taking my coat off - and this little beauty emerged (EPNS with a number underneath)- not bad for 75p! I love it.

A Happy and Prosperous New Year for 2009

Now the Christmas decorations (they belonged to my Mother and Grandmother) have been tenderly packed away and returned to the loft in readiness for next year I wish you all a Happy New Year from Loch Lomond in Scotland. This photo was taken on 1 January 2009 on a cold, still, sunny afternoon on a walk around Loch Lomond where we stayed to see the new year in - just beautiful, nothing, literally for miles around, we thought we were in another world.
