In Like Finn

We've been sleuthing around the slough for a few days now and I think it's time we stop for a little peek inside one of the cottages. 

One of my oldest and dearest friends has fixed this one up and won't mind us having a look around.

Have a seat in this cozy corner and rest a bit.  You must be tired after all this snooping sightseeing we've been doing.

If you're feeling chilly just  fetch some wood from the woodpile outside the front door and see if you can get a blaze going in the stove. I'll see if there's any wine about (knowing my friend, there's sure to be).

I guess it wouldn't hurt to cook up a bit of lunch while I'm at it. Everything is so handy in the kitchen area

(except, perhaps, the cook).

You just sit and admire the view.  I see the skunk cabbages are starting to flower.

See that yellow tip poking up outside, just behind the bowl?  Skunk cabbage flower.

It's really the personal touches and charming details that turn a shack into an invitingly comfortable home.

(After a total renovation, that is.)

Don't you love how these miniature boats mimic the real ones outside?  I do!

I think it may be time for an afternoon nap.  I'll curl up on the settee while you stretch out on the bed and drift off.  We can tell each other our dreams over a cup of tea when we wake up.

 beaux rêves!
