I'm with you, in my ideal life I want a green rover, and live in Barbour, wellys and a scarf with my corgis. :D Adore that country life like your sister has. Just catching up on all your posts. You inspire me with all your healthy eating and yoga and it shows too!<br />xx kimkim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-83486658350394082022014-02-15T18:27:38.490-08:002014-02-15T18:27:38.490-08:00Wonderful finds, the jacket is super.

You are cooking one of my favorite menus...it sounds delicious. <br /><br />For some reason there seems to be two schools of thought on heel position during down-ward-facing dog...all of my teachers have prescribed to the heels up approach and more extension, whatever...it does marvelous things for the spine.

I love the jacket. I too have always loved English country style. Who could forget Diana in Scotland during her engagement in 1981, wearing her wellies? Your lunch looks delicious. My daughter and I recently had lunch at Be Love, similar yummy food. There is a photo of their Macrobiotic Bowl on the cover of the current Blvd magazine. I had the Green Bowl and my daughter had the Southwestern Bowl. I have been tinkering in the kitchen trying to duplicate their all-seed cracker and was grateful for the photo as I am afraid I devoured mine before I fully analyzed the components. Next time I think I will get it just right. It sounds like you are warm and cozy on this stormy weekend. I have been in the kitchen all day and among other things, have made a roasted squash soup. <br /><br />BTW, my first name really is Violet, and I have spent most of my life growing into it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-68061833830688031392014-02-15T16:01:34.843-08:002014-02-15T16:01:34.843-08:00Leslie I do love your style and I'm so impress...Leslie I do love your style and I'm so impressed with your second hand shopping style!
