Rose Tea Cottage

The days come and go like muffled and veiled figures
sent from a distant friendly place carrying gifts,
and if we do not use the gifts they bring,
they carry them silently away.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

My darlings I wish you sunny days filled with gifts
and the wisdom to enjoy them all wisely.

Country Wings in Phoenix said...: Good Morning Duchess Sweetie...
I have SO missed you blogging. I pray that you are okay sweet one. Things just haven't been the same without tea at 3. I thought I would knock again and see if you are at home in the cottage.

I wish you love, peace and joy for the New Year. May God richly bless you sweet one in this upcoming year. I pray that you are okay.

Many hugs and SO much love, Sherry; 31 December 2010 at 16:42

BALLET NEWS said...: Darling Duchess, I pop by every now and then to see whether you are back... I fear the worst on the news front. I do hope not. I hope that 2011 is going to be a better year for everyone - and that we'll hear from you soon....; 5 January 2011 at 16:21
Renaissance Grace said...: Dear Duchess,
I'm afraid you find me in a terrible flap today, The palace has been on the phone about the forth coming betrothal of our dear prince and his future bride whatshername.
Can we lend any staff? Well as you and I know only too well how hard it is to keep good people one whiff of royalty and I'll be lucky to see the return of anyone half trained.
I've had to be firm as our own wedding season starts in April and I can't possibly manage without a full house of at least 30.
I've had Jeeves pop a couple of kodak snaps on my blog of the wedding you advised me on I hope I have done justice in recreating your recipe for a quintessential english summer's day anyway the bride and groom were delighted.
Well my dear I better go and deal with the inevitable fall out from my firm no, love to all the family,speak soon.
Yours Lady Susan; 5 January 2011 at 17:52
