The Passage of Time

For quite a number of years time had stood still at Thyme Cottage


and all was just a blur of memories.


But as with all things down that long country lane deep in the woods, the whispers were bringing it all back to life as the sun shone through the windows...


and where everything was just a misty haze when time had stood still,


the mist really was clearing


as time began to start moving again.


Although hopefully the passage of time won't go too fast.

New Beginnings...

Down that quiet country road, deep in the woods,  there is a whispering in the trees and an awakening has occurred. Muriel and Albert have found their new home having been homeless for a number of years now.  No longer will they be forgotten, or at least that is their hope.


The whispers have brought them to a new place in the woods and they admire the sign that tells them they are home.


Albert is slightly baffled though... the fireplace seems to be on the wrong side of the room
 
You may recall...


The chimney is on the outside wall,


and yet the fireplace is on the inside wall with a chimney breast going up on the inside.  How can this be?  Who knows apart from the whispers ...  He shrugs his shoulders and thinks to himself, it is summer, no need to worry just yet.  


In the kitchen, Muriel is already hard at work, wringing out the washed linens for their new home in her mangle that works just fine.

Perhaps not forgotten any longer?

We don't suppose anyone is listening or watching anymore, but Whispers at Thyme Cottage is going to be making a come back after eight long years.  Sadly the original Thyme Cottage is no more, but a 'new' Thyme Cottage will take its place and we will have to listen carefully to discover what is going on...

The residents have found a new abode down another forgotten track deep in the woods...

Can we hear the whispers?  Shhh, listen carefully.... 

Do we dare to visit?
