A Day of Simple Pleasures

Just about a perfect day.

Woke up to to a lovely warm day with wall to wall blue skies. Had breakfast then set off to hunt for mushrooms. Didn't find any-must be a bit early in the season- but still had a nice woodland stroll.

On the way back we stopped to give one of the local lads a lift. He had been doing volunteer work with the Red Cross at Rockness over the weekend. How is it we never get told about teenagers doing good work?

Back home for lunch then set too cutting and splitting logs. There is an immense satisfaction from splitting a log in just the right way as well as huge frustration when you don't.

A drink in the sun then risotto for dinner followed by an evening with the radio and the sun is still shinning.

Just about perfect.
