A peaceful week - I decided to go into town and have a look at the new fashions coming out for autumn. I bought myself a new cream blouse and a lovely charcoal cashmere polo neck .

Blouse is from the Edinburgh Woollen Mill. I love my plain blouses because they go with absolutely anything - trousers, skirts, formal, informal wear.

I am still enjoying my routine tasks - this year I decided that instead of putting off chores I don't like such as washing dishes, ironing etc I would do them with enjoyment, slowly and carefully and I feel so much happier approaching things this way. After all looking after a home should not be regarded as something unimportant and boring -  home making is one of life's most important tasks.
