A rocky start!

Wednesday, 4 January 2012

I feel a little guilty. It seems like the whole world has been a little more enthusiastic about the start of 2012 than me. Truth be told, I started the year quite grumpily. Not on purpose though, after a series of unfortunate events (including waking up to gale force winds and driving rain, the front garden was strewn with leftover wrapping paper and Christmas paraphernalia that the foxes kindly left for me to pick up and when I got to work, I proceeded to dump the entire contents of my coffee cup all over my desk), I despaired about my rocky start! But after finally catching up on everyone’s blogs I couldn’t help but feel excited and positive about what’s to come in 2012. There seems to be exciting things on the horizon for certain bloggers and I am very much looking forward to following along and hopefully creating my own exciting news!

Now in totally unrelated news but pertaining to ‘rocks’ nonetheless, is a collection of the most beautiful little stone cottages that I have been dying to share with you all. Shall we?

    Coffee all over the desk? Oh no, my heart is aching for you!

    But these cottages are oh so lovely. Glad you had wonderful and relaxing holidays in your home ;-)

    Happy New Year!

    You are not the only one - trust me! I was just having a similar thought last night as I laid on my yoga mat - I want to be excited, which is why I am trying to set some goals for myself for the year - and I am so thankful to have other bloggers that keep me motivated and excited for the year ahead!
    Much love,
    B

    Beautiful cottages! Makes me want to move somewhere much more quaint and less suburban. I hope your 2012 only goes up from here! :)

    These are story book perfect. And if it makes you feel any better, I have a nagging feeling I didn't start off on the best foot either. BUT onward and upward no?!

    How precious and lovely are these! Almost from the pages of a fairy stale. Sorry to hear about your rough start and hope things are smoothing out a bit...

    I think that's the beauty of blogging - whenever you run out of motivation, energy or ideas, you can always find more through all the wonderful blogs out there. I don't know how far our reno would have got without them!

    These are beautiful. I'd love to vacation in a small, quaint cottage someday. It reminds me of Kate Winslet's house in The Holiday.

    By the way, I had to follow you yet again. Your blog keeps deleting from my reader! Don't know why this is happening...

    I feel the same about the start of 2012. I had such a spectacular 2011 so I was scared to leave it. I guess you just jump in with both feet. The cottages are adorable. I wish I could have one of those just one, perhaps somewhere in a big country side.
