Bedside Story


Sal wonders what I have on my bedside table
and the answer is ...not much.

The truth of it is that by the time I get to bed
I am so exhausted
that I shut my eyes and go fast asleep.

However, I have just bought some new bed linen
at a bargain price
from Laura Ashley in their sale
and the pretty embroidery and crochet edging
delights me in that brief, brief moment
before my eyes close.

And you have a professionally-trained bedmaker on your team too. Why wouldn't you want to fall straight to sleep?

It is so beautiful. I would love to put something like that on my bed but I would not let my Pete put his head onto it...

Classy, Mrs M. But you know what they make me think? Ironing. Which is why 80% of the bed linen in this (less elegant) household is cotton jersey.

in a bedroom of someone like you.


On my bedside table is....a lot of dust!

Hi Mrs M
I enjoy reading your blog and about how you met Tracey from Imagine that quilts and about MasterM as he embarks on his travels. You have a lovely crisp style of blogging and a good sense of humour too. Thank you for doing the bedside tag - I've had a lot of fun watching everyone take part and I too love that bedlinen! :-) with love doolallysally x
