Little things

It’s those small, little things I often find real joy in.

We headed into Troyes today as we had a few things we needed to do. There was a chill in the air but the sky was was bright blue, and the sun was refreshingly warm. The change in season was definitely upon us and it was the first day when I needed to slip on a jumper. I chose something bright and joyful.

We first visited the framers where we were dropping off a painting to be framed, one that is very dear to us, as it was painted by a very special friend. After some consultation with the framer, Brian was happy that he understood what we wanted, and we chose a rather spectacular frame, which we cannot wait now to collect and see just how it’s going to look.

We found a lovely little café down a side street, for coffee and a hot chocolate, and had a quiet moment; Brian reading through my daily blog before posting. We decided it would be nice to return here one day for brunch.

Before heading back to the car, I had wanted to try some boots I’d seen earlier in a shop window. I loved the boots, but also loved the free bag they put them in. It makes the purchase so much more special.
