I do miss that. Still, most Saturday mornings find me in our Rover, with Brett beside me and Alex Schnauzer standing on the console. We start with coffee and muffins from the shop we like best, rather than the one closest to us. Then on with our errands. Its rarely as idyllic as your morning, but I too am terribly grateful.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003316530755458623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-20625645956645500312010-11-22T13:33:44.869-05:002010-11-22T13:33:44.869-05:00Reggie, I think you are a person who makes fabulou...Reggie, I think you are a person who makes fabulous things happen, rather than sit back and wait for life to pass you by. <br /><br />I agree with Stephanie: nice people = good things.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840629057159581688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-18492740043517083152010-11-22T11:47:08.340-05:002010-11-22T11:47:08.340-05:00Definitely sounds like the perfect country farmers...Definitely sounds like the perfect country farmers market outing :-) I went to my farmer's market in typical city fashion Sunday: walked there after stopping at the coffee shop, hung-over, wearing riding moccasins, the first jeans I could grab and a cashmere pullover.

I have a very old tall wood-and-woven slat English market basket (with wheels) that I have used for years at antique fairs and farmers markets -- very handy! <br /><br />Many bright and bountiful blessings for this Harvest Festival to you, Boy Fenwick and of course to Pompey! <br /><br />I remain most grateful for all of you! <br /><br />Cheers!Teacatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899566893360863672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-71611124987959882322010-11-22T07:39:58.763-05:002010-11-22T07:39:58.763-05:0024 Corners and Edith Hope: Yes, it does seem all ...24 Corners and Edith Hope: Yes, it does seem all so rather English, doesn't it? I believe Reggie and his ilk may have more in common with more of that sceptered isle than he does of the celebrity-obsessed, fast-food consuming citizenry of these shores. But that's not surprising, for reasons that he is exploring in a post that he is working on called "There Will Always Be An England" about how the land of his forebears was an outsized cultural influence on Reggie and his world when he was growing up.<br /><br />Ancient: Ah, one does look forward to your comments as you--of all Reggie's readers--know his weak spots! And yes, one is indeed cognizant of the fine line between having it all and having nothing at all. That is why one is humbled and grateful, and at this time of year, in particular, gives thanks. As to your PPS, Reggie let "tuxedo" slip in his last post because he had already referred to said outfit as a "dinner jacket," "formal wear," and "evening clothes," and he didn't want to repeat himself. Besides, he thinks the abhorance for that word is somewhat misplaced (unlike the use of "drapes" as anything other than a verb), at least in this country where it originated. But then, you knew that.Reggie Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044215790585354363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-26438655498714183172010-11-21T16:17:21.135-05:002010-11-21T16:17:21.135-05:00Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

We stocked up on raw honey and eggs...and as much produce as we could carry. It's wonderful that you support your local farmers. We try to do the same! How wonderful that the weather was on your side for your last trip to the market. It sounds like it was a glorious day! <br /><br />H.H.Hill House Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18412649709294802444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-92179739892441134842010-11-21T10:11:23.691-05:002010-11-21T10:11:23.691-05:00Beautiful piece.

I was thinking about buying some paperwhites just this morning, and wondering when I should start them to give as gifts that would be in bloom by New Year's. Our market closes the first weekend in December as a wonderful holiday fair, with evergreen roping and wreaths and so on. Perhaps I will shop with a basket rather than my usual tote--thanks to your inspiration!Town and Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842299632895569707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-80408342792974542972010-11-20T16:58:25.489-05:002010-11-20T16:58:25.489-05:00I have wandered in from another blog and became ju...I have wandered in from another blog and became just lost in your posts of Darlington, and your little pug.

I have learned, particularly this past year, the importance of life, nature, family and a peaceful existence. When people ask me if I am happy in my new life at the lake, I now answer, "I go to bed happy and wake up happy, isn't that what it's all about?"<br /><br />Our farmers market here is not as glamorous as yours, just a bunch of farmers in their pickup trucks parked at the local fair grounds. But we are working on it...maybe Lindaraxa will set up a tent and sell some of her baked goods next year in pretty containers with bows a la Martha Stewart... possibly attired in a ghingam dress and a straw hat with her adored Lucy Westie in tow.<br /><br />Have a happy Thanksgiving. Hope you enjoy this one and many more with your beloved Boy and Pompey!lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.com
