It goes like this all my Birthday surprises for my 60th on Tuesday , when I say all I am here assuming it's more than a card and the watch I have already picked out, are hidden in the Wardrobe in the spare room of the Coach House. I have been told that I am not allowed in the wardrobe before then, not even to look. Well one of my favourite books is the Lion,the witch and the wardrobe and so Bill catching me sneaking in and rattling the door has named Tuesday Narnia day. He remembered my love of Narnia and I love the magical idea of going through a wardrobe and being in a different magical place.
So bring on Narnia but no Ice Queens just talking animals please. When I was little Daddy used to read to me and I remember him having a lovely copy of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader with colour plates and I was intrigued by Caractacus the Crab.
It is interesting to discover things about myself at this stage. The Coach House is over modernised the kitchen has no life and soul. It has made me realise that I am happy with a little more rustic and homely than modern open clean lines etc.
The glass and chrome dining table is just not comfortable to my eye and is not the groovy modern place to eat breakfast I had assumed. Give me wooden furniture and comfy chairs anyday.
