I will just blog every few days for a while, and hope you will enjoy my photographs of simple things!

If the stove is not lit I like to burn an incense stick or light a candle.

Simple pleasure

Simply a sofa. Simply a cup of tea. Some lines from William Cowper's 18th century poem, 'The Sofa', in which he talks of that simple and lovely thing, the evening cup of tea. My new sofa is due soon. I shall think of these lines when I drink tea from my best cup.

'Now stir the fire, and close the shutters fast,
Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round.
And while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn
Throws up a steamy column, and the cups
That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each,
So let us welcome peaceful evening in.'

Peace to all and a nice cup of tea.

Love those photos. They seem the perfect image to show the start of autumn; stark and simple, orange and elegant, A suggestion of that wonderful aroma...and the stove just waiting to be lit. Hygge is about to begin!

Hello LIz! The stove is lit, and for once I am ready for autumn, perhaps because I have had so much sunshine and warmth this year...
