So many things happen in our busy lives that I want to hold on to. Little things - things that might go unnoticed, or missed in the hurly burly. Nothing special and yet - oh - how completely special!
The last Seven Days have been busy - filled with sunshine, community and celebration. Wonderful Autumn days - so many moments that have brought joy to my heart.
♥ Golden sunlight, setting - much earlier now - behind the Harris hills
♥ Halloween lanterns glowing in the window
♥ Warming meals - pasta in cheese and parsley sauce
♥ Pale blue Autumn skies and black seed-heads
♥ A few hours gardening
♥ Vikings :)
♥ Fireworks with friends.
What ordinary - extraordinary happenings have touched you in the last Seven Days? If you would like to join in - on any day, please leave a link in the comments, and we can all share in the joy.. xx
Stunning photos as ever Jacqui. That first one is fantastic, and the food, well that made my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteI'll try and join in with this next week, (haven't got enough photos this week!)
I have enjoyed these lovely evocative images of your week. I don't know if it is the same for you on Lewis, but a couple of days of sunshine and brightness after the seemingly endless wet days recently seems like such an additional blessing.
ReplyDeleteLove that first shot of yours - I think I'll have to give this a go - it is just a case of remembering to do it and have the camera at the ready at all times.
ReplyDeleteour seven, well maybe five days are here

Lovely lingering Autumn sunset
ReplyDeleteWonderful view of your week. Dinner at your home looked delicious. Love the fall shadows.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Jacqui.
ReplyDeleteYou've managed to make me feel envious, hungry and bewildered in one go!
That first photograph is mesmerizing...LOVE it!! Barefoot Mama
ReplyDeleteFirst photo took my breath away. The pasta made my mouth melt. And the Vikings made me giggle. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love your seven days.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful images from your week. Looks beautiful, delicious and fun.xxx
Janet's comments were exactly the case for me as well. So now I must make a request: please share the recipe for the pasta! I tried to search your site to see if you might have posted it previously, but it didn't work for me. Anyway, thanks again for sharing. I enjoy your blog very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you all
ReplyDelete- kerri - i will try and post a recipe this week, haven't had a cooking post for a while.
Lovely to see folks joining in - there are no rules - you don't need to have 7 photos of each day. it is just good to stop now and then and notice the beauty in the ordinary things we do.
Chris - bewildered? Ah - are you wondering what those Vikings were talking about?
xx
I am so glad to hear you are going to post the recipe for the wonderful looking pasta dish, I would love to prepare it here.

Can only agree with most comments.....wonderful pix, the first being glorious.....and the tucker sure looks mouthwatering! Had my share of Vikings in N Sweden, of course......and they never looked so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so good Jacqui! I'm joining in, but with my favourite day from the last 7 days in many photos, not enough pics for the whole week :) http://athomeindevon.blogspot.com/2011/11/seven-days.html

Lovely post. And yes, your Vikings look very cheery!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful post and photos. Love that jack-o-lantern on the left-with the sprout coming out-he's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteAnd to John... yo HO!!! (Said like a viking).
LOL!
I always enjoy your photos, the pasta looks very tasty and they are very jolly looking vikings! x
ReplyDeleteI did post some moments from the last seven days in my world, on my blog tonight, borrowing the idea from you. Thank you. x
ReplyDeleteHi really enjoy your blog , I am a silent reader but am very interested in the way you parent your yongest, I had my first two children at 21 and 23 and now have had my third at 36 and I am very differnt and do things very differently, did you find that too ? Also you mentioned once briefly that he slept with you in your bed, could you please do a post on how you coped with a 1 year old, your thoughts and patterns, it would be sooo helpful.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased so many of you have joined in with this. No pressure - just whenever, whatever. Loved seeing everyone;s days. I think the Vikings were my favourites - it was such a fun community night. Iain - of course all the Vikings that stayed here are always cheerful. Yo Ho indeed.
ReplyDeleteHello Anon - thanks for your comment. I will have a wee think about that. I have 4 children and had a big gap between No 1 - who i had when i was 18, and No 2 - 10 years later, then 20 months later I had no 3, and then our big 15 year gap. I think I have parented them all differnetly, to be honest, but i am aware of so many different things this time, that I didn't know before We did co-sleep, and still do to some extent as j always seems to creep through in the night, but when he was a year old, we had our mattress on the floor,so he wouldn't fall out. I just settled him to sleep and then went throught to he sitting room for the evening. Our bedroom was just across the hall, so I could hear him if he cried. Not sure if that was what you were asking, but hope it helps.
Happy to have you along. xxx
Thanks helped alot :)
ReplyDeletei loved your seven days jacqui, it all looks so warm and loving and yummy too. maybe next week i can play along.
