Petit déjeuner

I love starting our day with breakfast in the garden, it’s such a delight.

The birds are singing, clearing their voices for the day ahead. The little redstart is flitting about, I think still building his nest, and we are sitting enjoying our toast with homemade lemon marmalade and freshly made coffee. We are starting to learn the different bird songs, and say which we think is singing, such fun.

We chat about our day, and what we should do. I think we should try and finish getting the pool area clean, “what do you think?” I ask.

We rarely disagree on what needs doing, we just add a few more jobs in if we have a different view. We sit a little longer, enjoying our slow start, before one of us gets the fidgets and gets up ready to start the day.
