Alice's very secret muffin recipe... revealed!
Beautiful x
Absolutely gorgeous!!
A magic moment! x
And is that a reflection in water? How great. Enjoy the new house.
You live in a beautiful place. I hate flying and always said I never want to go on a long trip, outside Europe. But since a few months I am tempted to discover New Zealand. It is too beautiful. You are very lucky…
So, so beautiful. Words cannot even describe it. You have been blessed.
Indeed! I do love it when a wish comes true … makes dreaming all worthwhile. Thanks for sharing!
WOW!!
Amazing!
I nearly moved this year and would have had amazing skies too, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be yet! My cottage is very low down in the village and I can’t see sunrises OR sunsets unless I drive out somewhere, hence my love of your picture! Please share more occasional sky pictures over the coming months I for one would just love it, this is beautiful and I hope you & KB will be very, very happy in your new home with Raymond! Enjoy…. xxxx
Wowee, beautiful! So, so well done for following your dreams.
I’ve also been looking at the lovely socks you made for KB – you’re so clever – they’re even neat where you pick up the stitches at the heel. I’ve just made my first pair of socks, partly inspired by you, and started my second, and it’s so hard not to get little holes there! I’m loving doing it though, and I’m sure they’ll get better with each pair!
I wish you and KB (and Raymond of course) every happiness in your new home

Now you just need to make a Mandala in sunset colours… that would be stunning, what do you think?
Oh so wonderful, I’m so happy for you all xxxxxxxxxx
And water views too!
I’m looking forward to your new season of blog posts from your new home and new season in your life. ENJOY THE BLESSING!
wonerful photo and how wonderful to be able to see such a sight. Pleased for you.
Sunsets are rather lovely, arent they !!! We have beauties over here too.. l never tire of looking out to the west.. Unfortunately we have a very high hill over to our east so we cant see the actual sunrise. , so our sunsets have to make up for that loss.
Best Wishes..
Beautiful picture, Thanks Alice.
Meredith
Now that really IS a sunset. Stunning.

Lovely view! You can only see the sunset in the sky from our front door – it does look good though.
I would love to know what wool it was the first picture of your last post – those muted, chalky colours.
Good luck in your new house. A hug for Raymond.
Awesome picture!!! u r so lucky to have your wish granted!!!!
