Even if it means turning on the lamp and pretending!
Dreaming a little of visiting a place far away.
Sadly we would not get very far if we used this map of the world, newly hung on the wall above our computer desk. So pleased with it, even more that it was a piece of wrapping paper and much cheaper than a print.
We had lots of fun trying to date the map; really helpful being married to a history teacher who was able to date it pretty accurately. It is amazing how our world has changed so much over the last century.
My sunshine moment was in accepting this lovely blog award from Mrs Thrifty ,
I am bending the rules a little as I am meant to answer some questions and pass it on to other blogs. I will be doing that another day but combining it with another lovely award given by several other lovely bloggers. One of whom is Emma who has a lovely giveaway at the moment, do pop over and visit her.
Hope you are finding some sunshine somewhere in your day, pretty sure if you are in England it won"t be outside though!

I received the sunshine award yesterday too and like you, it'll have to keep for another day at present as I'm up to my eyes re-arranging cupboards in two rooms.....that's the weathers fault! It's a good thing though as I'm putting stuff together that belongs together and not spread around all over. Suzy x
ReplyDeleteMy husband has a passion for maps and we have them hung up all over the house. I think they make for really interesting walls!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will be drier tomorrow....

Love the map, you did well using wrapping paper, as maps are a ridiculous price! Quite sunny here in Dorset yesterday, we went for a walk on the beach but very windy. Julie xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the map. We have a map of the Caribbean on our wall which we brought home with us from a holiday there. It was a real hassle trying not to crease it all the way home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea, going to do this on our next holiday now!
DeleteGorgeous map, my husband would love it. He's often to be found looking at maps for no reason other than he likes them! We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day yesterday and today (Fri) but it's looking a little grey now for the weekend! Have a great weekend X
ReplyDeleteHasn't it been sooo wet. I have been living in waterproof trousers...
ReplyDeleteSo important to be looking for the sunshine in everyday life! Mich x
ReplyDeleteI have totally been hibernating, all this rain is an energy drain :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the map, I've been looking for one like that for ages. Where did you buy it from?

I bought it from here http://www.thehambledon.com but am not sure if it is on their website, I went to the actual shop. It was £2.95 super pricey for wrapping paper but cheap for a map. Really good quality paper though. If you can't find it on the website and want it drop me an email and I could get you one xx
DeleteHi - only just getting around to my comments etc! (Terrible I know!) Well I checked out the site and I couldn't find it. I'd be grateful if you could get one for me & I will obviously pay you back etc. My email is baileyanacakes@aol.com.
DeleteThank you
