I haven't done ANY walking this week, but hope to remedy that today when I walk the long mile and deliver all my local Christmas cards on foot. I am looking forward to it. We have had such DIRE weather - another day of skating rink conditions where we couldn't go more than two steps along the path, let alone make it as far as the car. Walking was definitely NOT on the agenda, which at least helped me get some inside jobs done. The sitting room decorating is finished, I am glad to say, and I am hoping to get back to the Morning Room again next week. OH has hit on a good way of getting the carpet laid which involves putting our huuuuuge Victorian pitchpine cupboard/glazed top bookcase in auction with a reserve. We do want to sell it, as it is too big to take with us when we downsize, but we will put a reserve on and if it comes home, we will have to hang on to it a bit longer. In the meantime, we can get the carpet laid . . .
The sitting room is now looking tidier and lighter.Middle daughter is now safely home and the house feels more lively again (think loud music emanating from her attic eyrie). Eldest daughter is going to be brought home next Friday - not sure which of us has drawn the short straw for the trip to Yorkshire yet. Then I will be content - all my family home for the holidays.

It does look frosty...Bbbrrrrrr
You room looks lovely! I love the wall color. What a pretty corner cupboard. Is it walnut?

Cupcakes - it's been perishing, and still is. I am still wearing the half a dozen layers, a double-folded crocheted wool blanket and a little black cat . . .
LBP - I prefer this lighter colour to the darker version we had there. The corner cupboard is oak. It should be on a base, to raise it up, but not many triangular bases turn up at auction . . .
