Oh, if only I could…

What does your ideal home look like?

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of a Library.”

Jorge Luis Borges 

(1899-1986. Argentine writer)

The small cottage-type building would have a slate roof with large windows to let in plenty of light. It would be set in English countryside, with a large garden. In the garden, there would be a bluebell wood and a large pond full of waterlilies with dragonflies, frogs, newts and toads.

English Bluebell Wood

Within the house would be a large kitchen/ dining room. Here visitors could sit and chat while I served homemade bread rolls, salad and cheese. Off the kitchen would be a sitting room and from here a library and an art studio.

The library would have books from floor to ceiling. There would be high-back chairs and a desk for study

I’m so lucky to have a home of my own and have an art studio and a writing room. I have a good size garden but only have two small ponds. No bluebell wood in my garden, but one close by.

Happiness comes from counting your blessings and being bless with freedom and a comfortable life, I’m happy with what I have.
