Here begins the tale...

Today is the first day of a month away from home. Yesterday I left the UK for Brittany and it was an epic 16 hour journey.

It's been a very relaxing day, enjoying the beautiful garden at the gite. Reading and just really chilling out. I am tired and sore, so an early night will be in order.

I can't remember the last time I just sat still, doing doing nothing and not feeling guilty for not doing work. I listened to the birds, looked at the flowers, ate French cheese and stopped thinking and worrying. At least for 5 minutes!
