For the last week or so, the baby has been waking up just once during the night, a development which has had a spectacular effect on my energy in the mornings. My response to this new-found matutinal vigour is a desire to seize this month's World of Interiors and deposit myself in the garden with a cup of coffee for the morning while Beatrice has her two-hour morning nap (did I mention how marvelous my offspring is? For those of you without babies, you should know that a sleeping infant is a good infant).
However, I am being virtuous and sitting at the Victorian oak dining table in my front window, a vase of spikey white stock before me and attempting to make productive academic work a part of my new morning routine.
Wish me luck.
My visiting cards from happygirlgreetings on Etsy arrived yesterday and they're fabulous! Thank you Laura Beth!
Photo above (and don't you wish you had stairs as fantastic as these?) from the guest house of Muriel Brandolini, photographed by Eric Boman, in this month's World of Interiors, with thanks.
Just looking at those stairs makes me happy :)
