The Hittys of Rose Cottage are back!

We have finally been able to reinstate Rose Cottage and the Boarding House...it is lovely to have the Hittys out from hibernation, even if the weather is getting much colder.  The Hittys are looking forward to decorating their house for Christmas.

They have been hard at work today, cleaning and setting up their house.

It has been set up very similar to before with just a few changes.

The library is still upstairs and Hitty Annabelle is already been enlisted to tell the little ones stories!

Hitty Madge's art corner has been set up and she is now just waiting for some inspiration.

Hitty Ethel is already hard at work at her trusty sewing machine.

A few of the girls are having a relax and chat after their hard work this morning,

I (Hitty Patience) am of course typing up our memoirs, whilst the NZ girls are about to embark on a game of chess.

Out in the garden, Hitty Joyful has discovered it is a bit too cold now for a short sleeve dress!  Miles is making sure his rabbits are well fed.

In the boarding house kitchen Becassine is sorting and cleaning ready for some baking

The children's room is in need of bedding, but at least there are some toys!

Just love the detail in this house - there are coat hooks in the entrance hall and of course a radiator to keep the chill out.

Hitty Granny Estelle is sitting in the lounge enjoying the peace and quiet.

Hitty Natalie Rose is tidying up the bedroom and putting fresh sheets on the bed.
