View my complete profile My name is Diane Shepard Johnson and my daughter Sarah and I have always loved old fashioned things. We find Tasha Tudor and Beatrix Potter so inspiring. Some of our favorite things and interests are: spinning, weaving, natural dyeing of fiber and yarn, knitting, bobbin lace making, vegetable, herb and flower gardening, old fashioned clothing and frocks, dolls, the old ways of preparing food, canning, corgyn, bunnies, goats, birds, photography, writing, drawing and painting, the old ways of living and old fashioned tasks.The Corgyncombe Courant is our newspaper of some of the highlights of life at Corgyncombe Cottage. Courant is an old term for newspaper.

In the Tasha Tudor book "The Springs of Joy" there is an illustration of children and a corgi along a stream on a spring day warm enough to go barefoot. Some Red-winged Blackbirds can also be seen perched in some cattails. Accompanying the illustration there is a quote by Richard Jefferies on the same page of "The Springs of Joy". A portion of that quote seems to fit a chilly March walk along Corgi Creek.
"Like a dream of some spirit-land it would appear, scarce fit to be touched lest it should fall to pieces, too beautiful to be long watched lest it should fade away." Richard Jefferies "The Open Air"
