Just checking in to wish you all a Very Happy and joyful 2013
I have been away for three weeks without a computer but I did have my camera...
First stop Yorkshire, where I spent ten joyful days with my family, unfortunately it rained heavily every day I was there so interior shots only.
No i phone or complicated portable just a good old fashioned British Telecom standard issue telephone, the one's I grew up with, they are considered retro now, I so enjoyed curling up on the sofa, twirling the curly cord in my fingers and using this to call absent friends and loved ones.
I had five star treatment staying with my Brother
I even bought sweets from my childhood (also now considered retro) for the kids but they were more interested in computer games!
And I helped my Mother with afternoon tea.
Next stop Prague for seven days and mercifully no rain but it was cold I was secretly hoping for snow but it was not to be, still, it was beautiful and there is more to come on my Prague adventure
I won't be back home until Sunday, at present I am in my spiritual home on the Provençal Coast.
See you soon, wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Happy New Year Dash :) xx
ReplyDeleteSuch memories those phones bring, don't they? We stayed at a 'historic hotel' not long ago and photographed the phone in our room -- a black version of the one you pictured. I remember those from my childhood, which had me questioning my 'historic' age. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeletehappy new year :)
ReplyDeleteyour blog is so fresh, cute.. i like your images..
I have been a bit worried at your absence after reading about Crusoe being ill on Backwards in High Heels blog - I hope he is now recovered.
ReplyDeleteI love your brother's sitting room. I too have gone back to the the phones of my youth, mine is black. I got fed up of the batteries dying on me mid-call on the cordless phones. These olds phones look much more stylish plus I find the earpiece on them much more comfortable for long chats.
Happy New Year.
Dear Tricia, thank you for concern regarding Crusoe it turned out to be a deep cut under his tongue, which the vet missed initially. Tongues bleed an awful lot! He was anaemic for a while but is now fighting fit and back to his usual self.
DeleteHappy travels Dash...it looks like you are having a wonderful time. Your brother has great taste, why am I not surprised?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and best wishes for an inspiring year...

ReplyDeleteHappy 2013! Even if you were just indoors, it looks like a fabulous indoors to spend your time in.
ReplyDeleteAh yes. The great British phone. Memories of curling up in the hallway on the telephone table (talk about retro) twisting the cord round as we summoned up the courage to call.....
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too...sounds like you've been having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your posts in 2013!
