Weekend Treasury

Badgerlicious!

A weekend treasury for all badger lovers.

These elusive animals are a firm favourite of mine but difficult to spot in the wild. Strangely enough, the one time I saw one was on holiday at Centre Parcs several years ago. There was a badger run right outside our living room window and he just trotted by. On his way somewhere important I expect. Off for cocoa in his burrow, with his tartan dressing gown and woolly slippers on, sitting in a comfy chair next to a big log fire. A few friends round; moley, ratty and the two little voles who live in the tree next door. Mr Badger takes out his pince-nez and perches them on the end of his nose. His little friends sit round his feet, cocoa mugs steaming, a happy glow from the fire warming the centre of the little room. In the dark shadows his trinkets and keepsakes can just be seen on an old gnarly dresser and a nest of tables carved with his own paws from a single hunk of oak. Piles of books line the walls of the hollow tree and the smell of wood smoke, cocoa and dusty tomes was the best and most comforting smell his friends had ever known. He reaches down and picks up a large dusty book with tatty edges and looks at the expectant little faces, whiskers twitching, looking back up at him. Time for a story.

Ah, I can never see badgers without having a Wind in the Willows moment.

Weekend Treasury

It's been so grey outside lately and the autumn colours aren't quite under way around here so I felt the need for a little warmth in this weekend's treasury. I've put together a pretty pastel collection to warm the cockles of your heart and remind you of those fine summer days now fading into memories.

Soon it will be the time of mists and mellow fruitfulness. The smell of bonfires, crisp leaves under foot, a definite nip in the air, thick jumpers, long boots and warm stews and puddings. But 'til then, let's just remember the clear warm days, bunches of peonies, large gin and tonics and barbeques in the garden. So long summer ...
