It was a drizzly grey old day here yesterday.
So we decided to light the fire pit.
There was a lot of sitting around. Please excuse the old painting/gardening clothes.
Please notice THE BOOTS
I put some sheepskin inner soles in them and they were as warm as toast.
See Lulu's feet and face.
She needed a bath afterwards.
There was a lot of poking and prodding of the fire until some genius suggested these were in order.
Mr M quickly twisted up some wire forks.
Perfect.
Marshmallows and tea in the backyard, in the drizzle, a lovely way to end the school holidays.
I'm in love with the boots photo. Straight out of the pages of Country Style :) It's miserable weather here too but I have nothing so stylish to wear in the rain :(
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect winters afternoon! Lulu is so cute and she's really loving being a part of the action. We're thinking of getting a fire grate/pit sort of thing for when we have people over at night (and kids in bed).

ReplyDelete1. Love the boots, first thing I noticed.
2. I notice Mr M's boots are not nearly so flash.
3. Your photography is wonderful have you had lots of tips - it really stands as "quality work"!
4. Lulu looks like a farm dog round the firepit. Tres chic, but bet she needed a bath before retiring inside for the evening cocktails.
