I thank you all for graciously accepting the Most Regal Blog Award.
You may now style yourselves with the title of "Lady",
which you all so richly deserve.
My darlings, wear your tiaras in good health.
This week was a busy, yet fun filled week for me.
I have my lovely cousin Cathy visiting me from South of France.
She will return home the first week of February. Thus far, despite the nasty weather, we've had a marvellous time...good food, good wine and good company. What else can I ask for?
While blog hopping, I noticed most blogs have Valentine’s Day posts up. That’s when it dawned on me that January is nearly gone
and February is soon upon us. Where has time gone?
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
~ Robert Browning
I love this quote, it is one of my favourites.
Ten little words and yet they hold a lifetime of promise,
and hope for a bright and love filled future.
So my friends, stay with me, the best is yet to be.
Meanwhile, have a lovely weekend ♥

Oh no! Valentines Day!!! I knew I sensed a disturbance in the force! Do you ladies KNOW how hard it is to find a "good" present for a girlfriend??? Things have become VERY confusing as to what is too much, what is too little and what is just NOT going to do at ALL!
Maybe I should just "redefine" the relationship until after the holiday....
Have a beautiful weekend Duchess!
Have a lovely weekeend to you!
G'eve, Duchess ~
When I need a pick me up, you are where I come to find beauty, serenity & joy. TYSM
Have a beautiful weekend.

Hello darling Duchess, Your Valentine flowers are loverly. I have that quote on a stone in my garden and love it. You always know the most special things to share!
Carla
Just love your blog! Everytime I read it I feel the need to make myself a hot cup of tea. We have a tea kettle, but speaking of Valentines's I told my husband I want a tea pot- maybe cast iron, so I can make my loose leaf tea right in the pot :)
HI Duchess,
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy having your cousin here a little longer. That quote is "ours", lol. My husband and I met in our late 40's and mid 50's and life has been a never ending romance since. We say that to each all the time. Your beautiful roese and words touched my soul tonight. Thank you!
Such beautiful flowers, I love the colours.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Rose
So glad that you are having a good week. Take your time to smell the roses daaaaaahling. Enjoy your time with your visitor, and most of all, have fun!
Love and Kisses, HH

Was the Queen Mother a knitter ?
I seem to recall someone in the Royal family was a knitter.

The flowers are gorgeous. Thank you for the pretty pics. Hope you have a great time with your cousin.
I was happy to learn that lots of Brits also sweeten their tea with honey. Maybe I'm not such an oddball after all. ;-)
Happy weekend sweet friend..sending you oodles of love.
Duchess, "good food, good wine and good company," truly little better than that! Sounds absolutely lovely, and so is the quote at the bottom of this post. Thank you for the inspiration!

I really love your blog! The perfect amount of roses, butterflies, tales of tea and poetry. Makes me want to have a cuppa right now. Thanks for visiting my blog. I do appreciate your kind words.
Dana from Red Umbrella Consignment
Well,
That last comment from Don, really was me, Dana, his wife. I forgot to sign out from his account and sign in as me. We really look nothing alike, or else I might have said nothing :-)
Morning Duchess, How nice to have a cousin visiting from France. Hope you all treasure and enjoy each moment together. How nice of you to bestow an award on so many lovey blogs.
Barbara
Hydrangeas and roses, so beautiful combination of pinks!!!!! And so nice to have Cathy spending time with you... lots of great chatting I suppose...
