I keep imagining having good coffee with your scintillating company at an outdoor cafe at a place you suggest. We, in a strange city, with travelling companions we are unsure about, may not be quite so scintillating, but I'm sure you will be forgiving.<br /><br />Hmm, must be time to start looking at European weather records.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-40275550438895477422014-02-27T04:51:54.137+00:002014-02-27T04:51:54.137+00:00Jane and Lance,

They touch our very souls.<br /><br />And, as for Lawn Tea, well, a withered thing it is most certainly not. You have the sharpest of eyes, sharpest of wits and sharpest of words with which you can conjure up the most wonderful of times, people and places which are quite beyond our own lives but within which we feel completely at home. It us as if we can draw up a comfortable chair by the fire, make ourselves at home, enjoy a cup of tea and slice of cake and be happy whilst being enveloped in tales of the unexpected.<br /><br />You are a remarkable woman. We know that as if you were with us right now and had been a friend for years.the privilege of knowing you is one of the wonders of the Blogosphere and we are all the richer for it!<br /><br />Love by the bouquet.<br /><br />J and L xxxJane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-66895055778857837302014-02-26T16:07:25.643+00:002014-02-26T16:07:25.643+00:00So lovely to "meet" you both via Sarah L...So lovely to "meet" you both via Sarah Laurence. I often think that the most wonderful thing about reading other people's blogs is that it gives an intimate glimpse into lives that often are so unlike one's own and you certainly fit the bill for me. Your kind comments have made my day and warmed me up despite the Arctic chill here in the Great White North. I look forward to reading more from you.Cidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915993866394084808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-71922219663760517872014-02-26T15:59:58.156+00:002014-02-26T15:59:58.156+00:00Another good long traipse through your photos, loo...Another good long traipse through your photos, looking my eyes full, with three trips back to the Keurig for cup after cup. And of all the rememberings and the elegant images, the one of you three absolutely embracing the day, facing the camera with bright eyes and the smooth, exuberant faces of happy children---that's the one I'll remember most.<br /><br />Such gladness in the moment, and such joyful anticipation---those expressions tell the story in a glance.<br /><br />I thank you both so much for your immediate visits to Lawn Tea---I'd still be wandering through luggage, retrieving toothbrushes and lingering over sorting out brochures. My poor blog has been a withered thing, of the past year or so, with very few postings save for little family gettings-together over brunch or dinner, with no excuse at ALL, let alone such festive journeys, such friends to be met.<br /><br />And so I thank you endlessly for your kind, faithful lookings- in. If I may compare, they recall the long-ago happy knowledge that I'd have a Mammaw letter in the morning post, with kind words and interesting happenings. It's as if I'd written a little quatrain, and the Brownings had popped in and said, "Hi, There! We LIKE this!"<br /><br />I simply jot down things to get them down there, whilst I still remember colours and dates and faces, and make composites of people known and imagined, or combinations of all, rattling away at the keyboard like dear Mr. Wood in Morse, and about as legible, most days.<br /><br />Do know that you brighten, brighten, with your travels and your settings and all the lovely lagniappe you share of such an exciting life. And your compliments on my own sharings are a sweet boon, and an ever memory.<br /><br />Thank you for enfolding all of us faraway in such close welcome,<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-30570124668818225842014-02-26T13:00:09.338+00:002014-02-26T13:00:09.338+00:00We have been more than touched, and not a little s...We have been more than touched, and not a little surprised, with the welcome on our return to the Blogosphere.
