Art: Sunday Evening by Lucy Almey-Bird
Cosy days and cosy nights, good books and a Sunday style tea on a Wednesday to see in the New Year ... and confuse us even more. After the hustle and bustle of Christmas it's so good to see in this fresh New Year calmly and cosily.
I'm almost glad of the horrible weather outside of the lodge if it means that I can curl up with my book and enjoy some good tasty little nibbles.
Coffee, good food and books, they make the world go round and here's to another year of lots more of all three.

Happy New Year to you all. Hope the coming months bring you health, happiness, friends and a few laughs.
ReplyDeleteCannot get my head around the fact that we have just concluded the first quarter of the 21st Century.
It seems only moments ago that Ollie and I spent the day in my sewing room on NYE 1999 . . .
Oh gosh ... I hadn't even thought of that!!
DeleteHappy New Year to you too. 🥳
Gosh there is so much detail in that artwork…I love it. Wishing everyone a blissfully joyful healthy 2025. June.
ReplyDeleteI love her work, happily my 2025 calendar is full of it. ❤️
DeleteI so want to be in that lovely warm sitting room! That's definitely the way to see out the old year and welcome the new year. Blowing a gale outside this morning. Breakfast, book and coffee for me!
ReplyDeleteSnap,that's exactly what I'm doing. 😀
DeleteGlorious picture. I love the green jumper (I've got the rocking chair,, the willow patter plate, and a vintage brown woollen blanket) I remember toasting crumpets in front of an open fire on Sunday afternoons... But that was 60 years ago
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things in her artwork that I either have or used to have, I think that's why I love the pictures so much.
DeleteWhat a lovely picture - not come across her work before. I can remember winter days huddled round the cold fire, with a wicked draught at the backs of the legs, toasting fork in hand. No open fire here (no fireplace with anything behind it in fact as our living room used to be the carriage house) and I miss our wood burner.
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of good books to read though, and a supply of tea and cake (you can have my share of any coffee going!). All the best for 2025.
I've shared her work a few times now, Alan got three of her prints framed for me for my birthday last year. I really miss our log burner too, especially when we have power cuts.
DeleteHappy New Year! Not quite one hour into the New Year, over here!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year then, it's been 2025 for almost a day here. 😀
DeleteBest wishes for the New Year. A lovely picture, full of memories, DD loved having her long hair brushed. I sent her the card of this for her birthday. The number 2025 has a square root, the only year with one this century.
ReplyDeleteI hated anyone brushing my hair when it was long. Her pictures do evoke lots of memories don't they.
DeleteAll the best for the New Year. xx

DeleteHappy New Year to you and yours. I took a deep breath when I read Bag End’s comment. It was a bit of a shock to realise a quarter of the century had passed.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. xx
DeleteI know!! Where have almost 25 years gone, it's scary.
Happy New Year to you and yours. Regards Sue H
