Once again life at Rose Tea Cottage has been frantic. My sisters and I have been taking care of our father who has taken a turn for the worse and is now in constant need of care.
I do apologise to you my loving and loyal friends for not having the chance to visit your blogs. I thank you all for visiting mine and for the sweet comments you have left for me.
To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world
~ Unkown
Thank you for being my world, I cherish your friendship.
To my new followers...welcome to my cottage and thank you for posting such inspiring comments for me. I promise I will return your visits soon.
My darling friends keep your kettles whistling, your teacups full and have yourself a lovely sunny weekend.
My dear Duchess, I'm sad because your father is worse, I hope he will be better soon. Your post is a feast for the eyes again. Whising you a good weekend! Laura.
it's always a pleasure and a font of inspiration come to visit you! I love the brighteness of your blog and ppics... I'm so sorry for your Dad, be strong and I hope he will get well soon! Thanks for your sweet word,always. goodnight!
Hello Duchess, my thoughts are with you and your daddy... I am a daddy's girl and miss mine every day of my life... treasure every minute you spend with him... I do so hope he starts feeling better very soon... Bisous... Julie Marie
My heart goes out to you as you care for your father. We have just been through a similar bout with my mother who was in terrible pain with a collapsed vertebra and could take no pain medication due to a heart condition. We found a natural supplement called Curamin which has worked a miracle for her as it relieves pain and reduces inflammation. After the second dose there was instant relief. It is by "Terry Naturally" and is available on line. Just could not go without telling you about this on the chance that it might give your father some relief. situations like this take such a toll on the whole family as it is so difficult to see them in such pain. I will keep your family and especially your father in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Spend all the time you can with him, and cherish his company. Blogland will wait for you. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Debi
Duchess I am so sorry to hear about yoru father. I will pray for God to help make him strong and comfort and strength for you and your family. You have been so good to me with my family illness, and I am here for you if you need it. God bless you sweety.
Sorry to hear about your fathers condition. We just took my grandmother to live in a hostel last week too, which was a horrible thing to have to do. But she is unable to care solely for herself so I think it is the best thing for her. It just makes you realise that you have to make the most of the time and what you have doesnt it? Thanks for sharing your lovely photos once again. And also, there is an award for you on my blog.
Hello Duchess, a big hug to you and your family, hope your dear Dad will get better soon. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and wishes, hope to hear soon good news from you.
Dear Duchess, Please don't put any pressure on yourself to visit my Blog during this time. I will pop into you and say hello. My prayers and thoughts are with you. xx
I am so sorry to hear about your father :(. I hope you have a peaceful weekend. Some of that delicious coconut cake and some tea would probably give you a teeny weeny bit of solace... well, those kind of things work for me lol. Hope you have a quiet and relaxed weekend. Lots of love HH
Hello deary, Sorry to hear about your dad. You are such a thoughtful person to think of us fellow bloggers while you are having a difficult time at home so don't worry about not have the time to look at what everyone else is up to!

Sorry your father's health is not good, I hope that he improves if it is possible. Your teacups are so delicate and beautiful, and that coconut cake looks so good.
Just thought I'd say Hi, if you love tea and cake pop by my blog, I collected over 500 trio sets, my house has disappeared under tea cups. I also upload them all into my flickr account so there are lots of lovely pics
I am a new visitor to your blog, just found you a few weeks ago. I felt a quick connection as my mom and family are all from North Wales, tea was a big part of my childhood. I am so sorry that you are having a hard time, sounds like keeping your dad comfortable and surronded by those who love him is key right now. Sending u warm thoughts. Figtreapps
I was going to compliment you on a photo or two here, but realize I like ALL the photos you have selected. You have created a world I want to enter often. I hope your father's health improves. He is blessed to have such a caring Duchess as a daughter.
Greetings Duchess: I was saddened by the news of your dear father. I know what that is like right now & it can gather all sorts of deep emotions when you parent is ill. You are so fortunate to have so many people who care. Strength in numbers. I send you & your sisters that strength & a hug from America. Prayers for your father. All my best, Xx deb
