The perfect day is just as important as being able to bake
the sweetest sponge or the crumbliest biscuit.
A day so full of good and glory has the ability to fix everything you
need it to without you ever having to tell it. And it needn’t be complicated. Often the simplest days are the most perfect.
You will need:
Sunshine. And bags of
the stuff. You can’t be sad, or feel
unwell or miss anyone quite as much when Mr Sunshine rears his pretty little
head. Fact.
A wide open outside space. As lovely as looking through a big window all
curled up and cosy inside is ideal, nothing beats fresh air in your lungs. Any space will do but the bigger the better.
Some form of exercise.
You can be alone, be a little twosome or a big and whopping group of
people but getting out and moving your lovely limbs does no end of good
whatever you are doing. Circus tricks
and acrobatics are not essential. Just
do what makes you feel good. Your two
feet are as good as anything else.
The Method:
Get up and fill your tummy with your favourite
breakfast. At the moment I am partial to
a slice or three of cranberry and raisin bread, toasted with butter and a
little cup of lady grey tea with lots of milk.
Wrap up warm in as many layers as you can squeeze into. I am currently loving all things tweed and
tartan and spending my day in a little kilt, navy oversized knit, clumpy boots
and tights is pretty much perfect.
Mittens and furry Cossack hat also usually feature heavily.
Once you have found the widest most beautiful open space you
can muster, do what the bobbins you like.
This week I have been interrupting my usual laps of our local park with
frequent stops to marvel at beautiful autumn colours, dreamy amber afternoon
skies and the satisfying crunch of leaves underneath my feet.
These sorts of days don’t take too long to put together and
they should keep for at least a couple of weeks in your lovely little
head. And they are perfect relief when
life feels like it gets a bit too much and you are careering towards Christmas
at break-neck speed.
Note: A huge and warm
thank you goes out to the beautiful Beeta for allowing me to write for her
wonderful blog. This blog is one of my
very favourites to curl up on these darker evenings and get a little bit lost
in. This girl's words are beyond
beautiful and it’s a very special honour to feature here for a moment!

I was absolutely chuffed when the lovely Sally from Sallytangle agreed to write a little something for my blog whilst I'm away. Look at how stunning those pictures are - can't believe they're on my blog!! I told you I'd leave you in exceedingly good hands! Sally's blog is my favourite at the moment. Words can't really do her photography, beautiful descriptions or clever ideas justice so make sure you pop over to her blog and sample some of her genius for yourselves. Thank you very much, Sally.
