Join me for a cuppa

I have noticed quite a few bloggers do an invitational blog, inviting readers into their home and into their life as they sit and enjoy one of life's wonderful comforts: a hot drink. For me it will be a semi-sweet black coffee, or a mildly sweet black earl grey tea. For a treat it's a takeaway coffee from a place here called Zarraffa's- black with hazelnut syrup added.
Today i am elated to be opening an invitation to you lovely reader, and I welcoming you into our humble home. I am sitting here in my 'usual' place, which is a rocking chair that we purchased when found out we were expecting baby brown eyes number one. It has seen better days, the material is starting to deteriorate so it is covered with a bed sheet, it also has my favorite blanket draped over it, the one that my husband gifted me on my first mothers day to keep me and baby warm on the chilly nights that i sat up feeding and cuddling out beautiful children. I have an earl grey tea next to me on a Gargoyle coaster that my mother brought be back from Notre Dame and now it is perfect drinking temperature so there will be a lot of pauses in my typing (not that you will notice). If i had you here however we would be sitting at our 80 year old dining table that was lovingly restored by my poppy and we would be enjoying our hot drinks and perhaps a snack there. Today you would be lucky to get more than fruit or nuts as i haven't done any baking for a long while and i very rarely buy biscuits from the shops. We would be toasty and warm with the very recent (3 days ago) addition of a fireplace to our home, it has been the most blissful feeling having a house with heating. We would most likely be talking about our children as that seems to be a very common topic among those of us with them, as much as we enjoy spending time with adults the conversation usually drifts back to this common and most comfortable topic. We may from time to time chat about other things that are happening in our lives that have nothing to do with our children though, perhaps a television show that we both enjoy or a hobby that we both share? I would be enjoying myself immensely as i love to be around people. Unfortunately however my time is up and my tea is done. So i hope to see you again soon.
