Days Like These

When the grey old days return and take charge of Britain once again, let's remember that there were days like these - outdoor dining, shorts and t-shirts, blue skies and tumbling flowers.

One of the great things about being your own boss is the opportunity to give yourself time off. I spent this morning strolling through two parks on my way into Northampton, browsed around the market, bought raspberries and strawberries, had a café mocha (yes, with the cream on top) in my favourite coffee shop while secretly sketching other customers. Lovely.
