It’s the small things in life that can lift the spirits… or
so they say. Last week was not an easy week. Large things kept tripping me up,
so I thought I’d share with you some of the small things that helped me through:
On Monday I saw a tiny wren hopping around in the hawthorn
bush, its feathers ruffling in the
wind.
On Tuesday I heard the chimes of a far-off ice-cream van and
I was six years old again, wearing tartan shorts, white socks and scuffed
sandals.
On Wednesday I baked biscuits.
On Thursday I walked past someone who was wearing Yardley’s Tweed Perfume and
it reminded me of aunts and cousins and times gone by.
On Friday I painted my toe nails the colour of aubergine
skins.
What small things have you done recently?
