Furry Knickers Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 It is a love seat Mrs Animal! I have had many adventures in that seat, I remember one night sitting outside with the lovely Josephine. We were sipping Cote de Brouilly looking up at the star filled sky above the little wooden house, it was like a black velvet blanket covered in glistening sequins. There was tranquility all around us, not a sound except for the sound of the shimmering white light reflected from the stars in her beautiful brown eyes. I could hear the star light falling into her eyes as I looked at this vision that cannot be described in words, there are no words to describe what I saw at that moment! As I gazed upon her crimson lips, they moved towards my own and then she screamed a horrific scream! a bat landed on her head and ruined a beautiful night. It is a gorgeous day here in Upper Beagle, and me and the one are going to skip all the way to Mass this morning! It is one of those days that you just can't stop yourself from skipping about all over the place! [kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ysatis Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 A view I adore, which is 15ft from our plot of land. There is another similar view in a different dirrection.[IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r267/EMH_03/SunflowersinMerciersfield.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 It's a lovely thing to see the sun flowers. I got a similar shot, although not from our garden, it's alongside the Canal du Midi near Carcassonne on this link http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/817530/ShowPost.aspx half way down page 1...Wonderful flowers...

cooperlola Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Chez Cooperlola part 2. If you take a look at my pic' on page one you will see why I posted this.

cooperlola Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 You've got little red cross syndrome! This happened to me the other day - pics fine then suddenly not. Very odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Liz, it wasn't there earlier when yours was the last post and I looked. Is it stored on your computer or somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Tresco, surely your unlimited powers can sort this in a trice, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ysatis Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm not very technical, and putting a picture on the forum is very advanced stuff for me!! Wondered if it was something I had or hadn't done during posting. Hadn't noticed before as I haven't been on for a couple of days. Oh well, I'll sit tight and see if it reappears.

Tresco Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Having unlimited powers sometimes leads to dependency among lesser peoples. I try to use them wisely, mainly to ban cheeky people...[:P]Liz, if the picture is stored on your computer, I understand it appears in your message as you type it, but then doesn't appear when you post it. Could that be the problem, or did you see the picture appear in your post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 What format is it saved in (Jpeg, Gif etc)Jpeg is the most reliable and works on here ok. Use Gif for web pages as it takes up less memory and tends to load quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This is one of my favorite places in our house. We have our breakfast and lunch here in our lounge. We can sit and watch the wild life in the garden while we munch. Lovely..... This lunch time I had to remove some of my apparel 'cause it was too hot. 0 deg C outside!!!

Christine Animal Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Mmmm, what a lovely place to sit and have your meals with that great big window. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 We love it. Just the other side of the hedge is the pool with the summer kitchen on the right. The house is designed so that the sun shines right into the rooms in the winter, but doesn't in the summer. Our bedroom window is the same idea but a bit smaller, only 4 meters wide! On a sunny day a few daze ago the room temp was 28C. It keep the who;e house warmer so the underfloor heating doesn't have to work so hard... It is our dream...

WJT Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Very pretty Jonzjob. This must be where you took the photo of the cute red squirrel that was trying to get your attention. I hope he is keeping warm as well [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The Farmhouse we have been renting for 6 months. It's been wonderful & had the nicest neighbours (i.e. landlords - & I'm not just crawling!!) we could have asked for. I'll hopefully be able to post a photo of our own house, in 2 weeks!![IMG]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e332/Livingstone_Mark/DSC00032.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope that they are keeping warm too. It's -3.4C out there at the moment and dropping!!Spring is just around the corner and we will then see all the lovely orchids in the garden. Not at all what we had expected, but all the more appreciated! We used to see orchids on the commons above Stroud, but never dreamed that we would have so many here.Total magical dream [:D]...

The top pikky is an Autumn ladies tresses, obviously appears late in the year. The lower is a yellow ophrys. That appears in the spring and we have dozens of them each year. The ladies tresses flowers are only about 1/8th of an inch across and it isn't ice on them, it's just how they are and they grow in a delightful spiral all up the stem.I'll post more photos when they arrive.

WJT Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Very pretty Lori, by the way you are in my favoured area of France, I do love the Vaulcuse.Jonzob, how wonderful, I didn't realise orchids grow wild in France, I pay about £15.00 for one in the UK [blink]. I do wish we had them growing around here, they look beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
