Hi there.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing in the garden, and here’s where I’m at today.

Just had a simple breakfast with Dave. Local jam and bread from the local farm shop, washed down with freshly ground coffee.

Then I cleaned off the garden furniture, washed down the glass table, which was covered in yew tree dust, got out the seat covers to give them an airing, and will enjoy the sunshine in the garden this afternoon, once I’ve done a little housework. I may even make a few more little clay birds under the garden umbrella – provided the clay doesn’t dry out too fast in the heat. If Dave is around, we will keep each other company. If he is doing something else, I will carry on listening to my rather excellent audible book while I work on the clay.

And that to me sounds like a perfect day.

Look for beauty in everyday things. Surround yourself with objects that give you joy, that lift your spirit when you look at them. Make something with your hands.

Love always
