A Room With A View


MissM will see this view
when she opens her curtains
every morning for the next year.

Yesterday I stood at the window
watching the pigeons fly around the tower,
listening to the bells chime the hour,
absorbing the beauty of it,
and I was so glad for her.

    Is that Hogwarts? From an Australian perspective all those fancy stone spires and towers clearly indicate that it is...

    What a gorgeous uplifting view to start the day - lucky girl! That combined with the morning cuppa in that lovely teapot should put a spring in her step even on the most daunting of days

    Such a lucky girl. Thinking of you today as I've just packed my two off this morning - both my girls gone for the first time! I need more tea - can I offer you a cup too?

    Wonderful for her but a little sad too. Letting go can be so difficult.

    Naturally she will be far too immersed in her studies to pause for even a few seconds to enjoy that fabulous view.

    Oh my life...

    Makes my view from first year halls even more dull than it was! (actually tbh it makes my view from our house now even more dull!)

    Good luck to ms.m at uni, it will be the most fab thing (promise)

    ps. word v= affarnon which sounds like how they say it round zummerset way...

    Lucky girl! All her endeavors will seem important with that for a backdrop.

    When I dream big I think of my son going to a school like that ...
    Yes we have the sun, the sea, the beauty but NO SCHOOL like THAT.
    SIGH

    Looks just like my old school - I hope she appreciates the view - I don't think I really did until long after I had left!

    Look at that delicious old stone.

    (I love that peppermint patcher said Hogwarts. I thought Cambridge because I am rational and boring like that).
