bewitchingbritain: Ivy Cottage in the village of Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire, which is part of the Cotswolds. Besides all the shabby chic/ gothic gypsy garden loveliness there is a MEDIEVAL DOOR with a knocker right in the centre!!! That door is very exciting to me in a disturbing sort of way.
Annyhoo, the name Lower Slaughter does not stem from a history of mass carnage in the village. It is thought to derive from either the Old English ‘slough’ (a wet land) or ‘slothre’ (a muddy place)

I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland!! I love beauty in all its forms...warm Winter sunshine on my verandah in the afternoon, the smell of freshly baked bread, the long, long hug of a treasured friend, the softness of a baby's skin, a smile that lights up the face, thunderstorms, a carpet of petals beneath a tree, frosty mornings, a blanket of snow transforming the world, views from the tops of mountains, the excitement of beginning a long journey to a new place....
