Country Life


not considered worthy by vogue
a bit ordinary by jove
bushie's bash

we don't want washing on naff racks
tea towels bed socks and builders cracks
stylefree zone

to me this is so delightful
unpretentious real and soulful
a still life

cezanne might like the tomatoes
wild artists and desperadoes
outback chic

i love dracaena and cactus
lying on a sun lounge mattress
rural cool

  3. Only thing missing is a long clothesline that runs the length of the backyard, Loaded with the week's wash hanging out to dry. How I hate it, my clothes feeling rough against my skin.

  4. You yourself are the wild artist, aren't you? Forget Cezanne! Let's eat those tomatoes!

  6. Think I'd pick a lively, lived patio rather than pretty & blank. I was just out admiring tomatoes earlier. :)

  8. I like my outdoors to be the outdoors too, no pretensions.
    Love my clothes doing a dance on the washing line - hate the bother of bringing them in for some reason...
