I been so busy editing the manuscript about life in the ole home by the sea (y'all like me art work on me bathroom wall?)
Before I know it, time pass.
Anyway, I say to meself, lemme share some pics of what that ole home did look like (yes, I useta sleep with me books that I reading, and me notebook...hehe...)
Yes, we love a bookshelf loaded with...books.
Ma can't do without the enamel mug, I don't know why.
And, of course, houses can't do without the grill for protection from teef (thieves).
If this flower coulda talk, ohhh, the conversations it overhear!
Aaaand...the wild garden.
So...there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. That ole home, so many friends and visitors and relatives pass through, eat, sleep, laugh, play, get counselling, comfort. That, to me, is what a home is all about.
And of course, it is a place for discovery.....yeah?
Ta-ta fer now xx
Lovely to see you - and your home. That garden looks like heart balm to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course we sleep with our books. And the overflowing shelves.
Child, confession: when I first returned to Guyana, I didn't like this wild garden. I thought gardens should be tamed. But I grew to understand and love this one.
DeleteI'd just love to drop in for a cuppa and a chat . Especially just now.xoxox
ReplyDeletePat, if only! I would've spoilt you. xxxx <3
DeleteThat is exactly what a home is about. I live in someone's house, with housemates that I don't like. I can't wait to be in a better financial position to afford my own place. Because I love to cook and bake, I fantasize having dinner parties and lots of music and dancing on fridays spilling over onto saturdays.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, now I rent an apartment, and dream of my own place too. Well, I do have my own place, my apartment, I mustn't be ungrateful.
DeleteI want somewhere that I don't have to rent.
I hope you can have you own place.
I would like a place where there's art and music and books, and discussions and visitors eating and talking about their lives.
I cannot wait to buy your book and have something to hold up and say i knew her back when! Please tell me that will be a thing I get to do!
ReplyDeleteCadiz, you're good for my confidence! <3 Thank youuuuu.
DeleteMy book is done, but I need to do the book cover and learn how to publish online now.
YAYYYY!
Hi G,
ReplyDeleteNice photos. I particularly liked the one of your bed with the bold red book nestling in shadows and light beneath that curved headboard and the blue wall. The photo is full of pleasing diagonals and tres 'impressionist'. If I might make so bold.

Dan!!! How are you, ol' pal? Have you started writing those tales of yours that are supremely wild and wonderful?
DeleteLooking again at my bed photo, I see it with new eyes after what you've said. I like, I like!! xxxx
Good to read you again its been a long long time since I have done that and much water has passed under the bridge.
ReplyDeleteHow are you, Dave? Thank you for visiting.
DeleteNow that I'm relaxing, I can read blogs again! See you soon! :-)
I love the photos. My favourite thing in my kitchen are my enamel baking trays. Everything cooks better in them. :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, enamel baking trays! I must tell my sister, she loves new cooking utensils.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 iron pots from the UK, my sis-in-law gave them to my mum, and she my mum moved to the US, I 'inherited' them. They are amaaaaaazing. They get so hot, I can bake in them.
I love the wild garden.
