We had a delightful breakfast with friends this morning, chatting, laughing and of course eating a delicious meal over more than two hours. On the way out I noticed the bistro window and was very taken with the illustration so carefully painted there.
My best book buddy lent me a book on Saturday and I have read it in two sittings. As it says on the back, “This is a gentle and welcome reminder that no matter what your age, there are always fresh discoveries ahead and pleasures to be enjoyed every day.” That’s what this blog is all about, of course, and I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I have already read Margareta Magnusson’s The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, a practical and wise guide to clearing out the clutter so that your family don’t have to do it later. 
Walking home from a film showing this evening, we came up Church Lane and loved the tunnel of greenery that we walked through.

Yes, it was. Our first experience of having breakfast out was when on holiday in Atlanta visiting my brother and SIL. It wasn’t a ‘thing’ here then but it is now! 🙂

Loved all 3 photos today, didn’t know your ‘green tunnel’ existed. It looks just like one just up our road xx

There are lots on the roads at this time of year and we love them. The children called them tunnels of trees and tonight coming up the lane, there it was, another tunnel. 😊
