Well! It's been an exciting week in the Kitschen! We tidied up - a bit (we have our limitations!)
We baked Lemon Cake,
and lovely Niki came to visit with her equally lovely family! OH! It was so fantastic so see her! We think it's been over 30 years so safe to say that the conversation was a bit different to the last time we were together! She is every bit as lovely and beautiful as I remembered! AND she brought gifts! As if getting a good look through her fantastic new book (highly recommended as it's so packed with inspiration!) were not treasure enough, I also received all these...
I feel so spoiled! The fabrics are already finding uses for themselves and the violets have made themselves at home with Dorothy Dog in the workroom!
Just perfect!
But even better than all of this, Niki very kindly ensured that my little violet seller is no longer holding an empty basket! So very kind! 
It was lovely to be able to grab an afternoon together but it went so quickly!
Next we had all the mayhem of Halloween! And then, as is the way of these things, at the end of the two week holiday, the beautiful boy was up all night with a soaring temperature!
I should mind more and for him I do mind, a bit. But a big part of me loves the excuse to snuggle on the sofa under a blanket and catch up on UKTV History channel whilst eating Toffee cake! Bliss. I've even had time for a play on Flickr and was amazed to find there is no group for Aga fans!
So I started my own! Take a peek!
Hope you're all having a bug free weekend before the holidays end! t.x

I have to say that a week without my beloved Agatha Aga.. was quite challenging. I think they are the best thing since sliced bread.. or make that burnt toast which is what I invariably make on ours!
We share the same model...lovely traditional clotted cream colour.
Sorry to hear little one has been poorly.. hope the toffee cake cured all!
Lovely to have met up with Niki.. she is indeed a lovely lass.

Thanks for the eye candy pic of your kitchen, it is to die for! Hope Beautiful Boy is better - it's probably the thought of going back to school, Harry always develops a mysterious illness at this moment!
Spotted your Enid Blyton hardbacks on that lovely duck egg shelving unit. Don't they have such gorgeous covers?

Love your little Enid Blyton collection

MM - not the way I make it! t.x
Sal - thank-you
K - the wrapped up Aga would make a great picture! Have mum send you a snap! t.x
DM - you just have the most impeccable taste! t.x
Lark - would it help if I said I'd keep nutella in those cupboards specially for you?! t.x
C&C - will Agatha be joining the Flickr group? That would be nice! I am SO pleased to hear I'm not the only one who had to abandon the Aga toast - it kept smoking out the kitschen! The Dualit is much more forgiving of my dizziness! t.x
Jen - thank-you. t.x
Hen - they certainly do! t.x
BJ - sweetie! pop in for tea sometime - I can share some lino for your gorgeous jewellery! t.xxx
Thanks for popping by Willow House and leaving a comment. There do seem to be a lot of bloggers in the SW don't there? But there are a few of us blogging, Zoe is a Norfolk girl - Gt Yarmouth

I'll be adding you to my blog roll. As for Castle Rising someone actually runs those ghost spotting nights there now, you know the ones with EMF meters and stuff.

we had a poorly half term but on the mend so light at the end of the tunnel!

I know what you mean about Walsingham. My teenagers think the place is spooky! Thanks for the comment. Now I'm going to take a peak at the rest of your blog.
If my kitchen is ever tidy enough, I'll post a picture on my blog, but don't hold your breath........ :) lol

It was soooooooooooooo good to see you after all these years - Thank you for making us so welcome (the lemon cake was scrummy!)
I really enjoyed our chats, meeting your beautiful boy (sorry to hear that he has been unwell since our visit) and seeing all the hard work that you have lavished on your stunning home. Thanks again for all the glorious gifts that you gave to me - lovely to see what you have done with the bits and bobs that I gave to you.
Good luck with the 'Flickr Aga Love' - sounds like a great idea.
Thanks for all of your kind words and encouragent ;-))
Take care,
Niki xx
Have a good week. Liz x
Hope the beautiful boy is fully recovered
