A lady popped her head around the door of the shop today and asked what we did. Within 5 minutes she was having a cup of tea with us. A few hours later she left, after we had all laughed together, chatted together and made each other feel overwhelmingly positive. These are the sorts of people you should meet everyday.
A delicious fish cake and mashed potato for dinner
Lying together on the bed, chatting. Feels like ages since we’ve spent any relaxed time together.
