The Small Things in Life

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?
