it's back...a little pre-autumn sunshine...
i love the that moment, at the end of an crazy busy morning...
groceries stacked in the back of the people mover...
P.O & banking done...computer ink sorted for the kiddos homework...
village local food market in the back of my mind for before school pick-up...
that moment...when i just stop with a cup of tea...a bunch of *chuck-it-in-with-the-shopping-roses*...and all my chippy bits in the garden...& some blessed sunshine...
i truly thought we'd seen the last of it for a while...i'd even changed my birky's for ballet slippers...
but we are being blessed with another late late late summer early autumn dose of it...
warm enough to open all the windows & doors...heaven for this aussie girl...
so...tea in hand...groceries chucked in the kitchen for the maid later...
i just played around in the sunshine...with the camera...& enjoyed the moment...
i've been up here in the north for long enough to realise that it ain't gonna last baby!
it's ok to put things on hold for a little heart warming...make-me-a-happy-mamma sunshine isn't it?
i mean i have lugged & carried & shopped & cooked & planned the entire day from sun up, till we hit 7:15 tonight & the last bambino has been collected from her last extra curricular activity for the day...
the moment when i pour myself a big glass of french vino...
so...really a little chippy chair loving & playing with flowers in the sunshine is a pretty tame vice...
wouldn't you think?
you know i'm in my de-crappifying sorting the house mode...
so it's good for me to get outside and just smell the roses ;)
to leave the *god-where-does-all-this-stuff-come-from* piles inside blocking the doorway...
to have just a little downtime...you know, get my enthusiasm back to unpack the shopping i just lugged...
i'd really rather just finish my sewing & sit in the sun...
curse me!
life is sometimes too full- or maybe i just need more time...hours...hands...!?
so...i'm thinking a little balance today is what i need...
i'm on a roll & then come 8 o'clock i'm being put to bed by the kids...
not a cool look...makes me seem a little errrr...old apparently!
who taught those children to have opinions!
so...just for a bit i'm getting a good dose of northern english countryside sunshine...
just what this beach-reared mama needs...
hope you're getting out in it
playing with flowers
loving your old bits ;)
&
enjoying the moment
