Sunday afternoon at the Moerks


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.

  1. 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 :(

  2. Looks 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).

    1. 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.
