My Place & Yours - Wherever I lay my hat...

Here we go again gang, it's time for some fun with Pip and this weeks fabulous Theme Queen....Tania from Myrtle & Eunice! Yay!!

And she's come up with a beauty. So many things make up our home. It's hard to nail down one or two things that say home to me. I suppose home to me is family, the ones I love. I'm lucky to live in a snug little house in a great country town but none of that would mean a thing without my lovelies. We could live in a tent and cook on the fire and cuddle each other all night to keep warm and that would be home. But of course there are also many old and new familiar things that really make me feel comfy and happy at perfectly at home so here are some...

I am a bit of a cuppa queen. Being at home means lots of hot cups of tea...

and a bit of smooching. This photo of Mark & I outside my old house in Moor St,

lives on our fridge.

Mark was born in Sweden and moved to America when he was five, so he has had quite a few different homes. We have alot of Swedish things around our house and they remind me of his mum who moved back to Sweden shortly before she died. The Swedish culture, colours and folky images, the memories & photos of Mona are a bit part of our home.

Home is also about making & creating...

and a hall full of family photos...I love to look at the baby ones and think about how they have changed, how much they are the same.

Home is special things like this jewellery box than my nan gave me.

Full of treasures from past lives.

I love the number five, for some unknown reason.

Five is homey, makes me feel good.

Home is very much about ritual, being together, sharing our lives...

....and eating chocolate cake of course.

I love being at home, I do sometimes wish it was a tad tidier and occasionally a more peaceful one but there's plenty of time for that. Right now I couldn't be in a better place.

Thanks so much to Pip & Tania,
