Wandering back from a walk with the bassets today I looked towards home and was struck by how lucky we are.  A place in the country and a moment of sunshine to enjoy. At last I feel that the Domestic Executive equilibrium is coming back and with it a better perspective on life.  But all this effort so far this year means I could do with a break from it all.  Luckily it’s only a couple more weeks before I declare an official staycation.  In other words – a holiday at home.

Whatever the weather we’ll be making the most of the time to rest and kick back – to meander through the days without any outside world pressures.  Just thinking about it makes me tingle.  Books to read, cooking to be done, photographs to be sorted and fun to be had. It’s the bright spot on my horizon right now.
