Book Tag

I've been busy. Busy, busy busy trying to get organised for the market I was talking about here
and I needed a break! So the invitation from Janelle to play a game of book tag was most welcome! This is how it works; Go to the closest book you have, not necessarily the book you have just read, or your favorite, but the closest. Turn to page 56 and copy out the 5th line, followed by the next 2 to 5 lines.

Well, my closest book was Tricia Guilds' 'Painted Country'. It was on the table because Isla was reading it while I sewed (bless her, her current reading material of choice is mainly Hairy McClary, her Dads' Fishing World magazine, or my interior design books, go figure).

Ok... Page 56...Rats, it's only a picture with no words (Murphys' Law!) So I'll have to do page 54. The 5th line onwards reads "this kitchen conveys all of that colour, energy, spontaneity and adventure, along with a certain reassuring familiarity on the use of the tiles, wood and stone. Although recently built and containing every modern convenience and labour-saving appliance hidden behind old farm gate fronts, it has the comfortable air of an old and settled place."

Sounds rather nice, doesn't it? My kitchen, by contrast has all the charms of an old and settled place, but none of the modern conveniences and labour saving devices! Maybe Santa would like to bring me a dishwasher... And an espresso machine?

I will invite some fellow bloggers to play too;
