A little cottage in Devon

This is my new kitchen in a little cottage
in a village on the edge of Dartmoor.


It is long and thin like my kitchen at home.
and as Sheila, the estate agent lady said
"It's small but it has everything in it".


When I wash up at the sink
I look out over the churchyard
to the massive copper beech tree
and the clock on the church tower.


It is the fulfilment of a childhood dream.

  12. we did have a slight contretemps when MrsM was so immersed in organising her kitchen that she ended up deferring the cream tea scheduled for the afternoon ...fortunately the coffee cake she procured the following day did make amends.
