Cottages...

Dear Friends, We all fantasize about what it would be like to move. Where would we go? What would we look for in a place to live?

So often we are taken in by the grand estates and castles all over the UK. But when push comes to shove, our hearts fall for a cottage.

There is a coziness to a cottage that gets to our hearts...

Even when we feel we need space we want that tucked in feeling only a cottage can provide.

A thatched roof certainly adds to the story book feel. So does a picket fence and a cottage garden border...

This one is way way way too small for me, yet I would love to sip my morning tea and see it in my backyard...

Water adds an element of charm and beauty. A tranquil feel. Would water add issues? I am quite sure it would, but maybe those are the trade offs for all the charm...

Suddenly charm can also mix in whimsical with this cottage on wheels...

Maybe it is all the attention to details that wins us over...

The idea of stone adds to the appeal...

Or maybe we love the idea of being tucked out of the way...
