Thursday, 5 June: Quickie verandah pic just to join the party


This is a quick pic I happened to have of the table on my verandah under the thatch eaves. The scene of many a festive meal, solitary dinner or early morning cuppa. And it is a quick post so that I can join the jolly porch party as hosted by Rose Coloured Glasses. Thank you, Rhondi! Other words for porches? We also call them stoeps.

  11. Eleanor I so long to visit in person as although these 'virtual visits' are such fun, I can imagine sitting there on the veranda with you, sipping a drink and listening to some classical music in the cool of the evening. It truly is a beautiful cottage and I'm grateful you are sharing it with many today at this fun 'porch party'.

    Fondly - Mary.

  19. All dear blog friends! Thank you for your kind compliments on a very hasty and informal pic of the verandah without even tidying it up. You are welcome to tea, Willow and everyone else too. Four will be fine - English scones and jam, banana bread and melktert (Dutch milk tart). Let me find some more chairs! Do you take milk? Sugar?Let the party begin!!!!
