The little details in life...


The delicate floral motif sprinkled on this baby's dress,
adds a touch of old fashioned charm, 
and loveliness to any day.

The gleam of a setting sun glows softly through slats in a humble but useful object- a laundy basket.

 usually refered to as glass.


"Yes, I live on 47th and Downing Road, number 3- 
the blue door with the lion door knocker. 
It is on your immediate left, 
you can't possibly miss it, 
oh do deliver the flowers as soon as you can, 
won't you?  Thanks very much, Cheerio then!"

sweltering heat,  
cold in the winter....

They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or  Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the  D-Day  invasion of  Normandy , which took place on  Slapton Sands  or Slapton Beach in  Devon .
