Crown and Crumpet

Crown and Crumpet a brilliant, charm place for brunch! The crumpet and scones are my favorite. I would recommend to make reservation before hand for sitting inside. We had to sat outside on calm Sunday afternoon. Although, the breeze did pick later in the hours.

Hope you did something new today.

Time, what can you tell me about it?

Something we want more of it that's for sure. Some are good at managing it and some are not. Could you imagine what life is like without able to know "what is time it?" The train will arrive late. Santa Claus will not deliver your presents on time. Nowadays, we have laptop, clock on the walk, our iphone to tell us time.

Here is a true story, a woman selling time for living. Between 1836 and 1940, Ruth Belville, also known as the Greenwich Time Lady, was a businesswoman from London. She, her mother Maria Elizabeth, and her father John Henry, sold people the time. This was done by setting a watch to Greenwich Mean Time, as shown by the Greenwich clock, and then selling people the time by letting them look at their watch - reference wikipedia.

So, next time someone ask you "what is it?". It'll cost you.

My pick for today, a modern cuckoo clock by Albero.

Welcome to Friday!

Keep calm and cycle on

I did not know that "Keep Calm and Carry On" was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, intended to raise the morale of the British public under the threat of impending invasion - wikipedia. Quite interesting.

You can get more cross stitches like "Keep Calm and Cycle on" and "No Panic or Freak Out" from AllStitches.

She has been slept with it every night and won't leave her bedside at all. I asked her to show it to me and immediately, she returned the orange cat back to her bed.
