We have seen quite a few deer and some of the stag have very impressive antlers...they are magnificent when we spy them but their natural camouflage colouring helps them from standing out too much.<br />So I may have to try a treadmill....and inserts...both great ideas...will look into those options.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-78362827138155157952017-11-02T12:35:58.522-07:002017-11-02T12:35:58.522-07:00This island is quite quiet, especially after the s...This island is quite quiet, especially after the summer visitors have left...we quite enjoy the slow pace and routines that revolve around our walks, and simple meals.<br />We do not celebrate All Saints Day...it's a good opportunity to remember those who have passed on and to pay your respect to their memory.<br />Hope you have a lovely weekend.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-36961460674365077292017-11-02T12:32:54.930-07:002017-11-02T12:32:54.930-07:00Welcome to the blog Adrienne!

Thank you for sharing that information with me...perhaps some other readers will also check it out.<br />We have been very happy in our wee bungalow...it is small but we really don't need a huge home to be content. The arts and crafts furniture and accents were specifically designed to be simple. almost organic in nature and colour. While we are not puritans we do strive to keep things in our bungalow that are reminiscent of the era....hope that you will share your pursuit of owning a bungalow with us.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-78671009318627061232017-11-02T05:32:23.413-07:002017-11-02T05:32:23.413-07:00Beautiful photos!

Interestingly for me as I have the flattest feet known to man, once I switched my walking on the treadmill to a slight elevation, I haven’t had a problem since. And I got inserts made for my shoes.

The little bungalows were shipped all the way from Canada around the time of the 1st World War. They were either for Canadian Airmen or Canadian workforce at the Herbert Austin Factory. The whole estate is now a conservation area. I'd like to thing that one day I would buy one and seeing yours has given me ideas for how lovely the interiors could look.<br /><br />adriennenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-85324139188582122702017-10-31T09:40:11.730-07:002017-10-31T09:40:11.730-07:00Its a really creative way to "decorate" ...Its a really creative way to "decorate" outdoors...I just wonder if the deer will enjoy it too as they have eaten all the flowers off our chrysanthemums on the porch!hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-27696870087458247122017-10-31T09:38:52.246-07:002017-10-31T09:38:52.246-07:00You are most welcome...I hope to post some more ph...You are most welcome...I hope to post some more photos in a few days.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-89098062343731958222017-10-31T09:38:14.494-07:002017-10-31T09:38:14.494-07:00This weather is such a gift!

I have a new red plaid vest to add cheer to the season and I get compliments each time I wear it.<br /><br />Your walk is perfection. You are an amazing "artist" to capture all that beauty to share with us. The colours bring me such joy.
