My Sunday so far is proving to be very relaxing ... and I am loving every minute. So far today I have been on a hour and a half walk, cleaned my house in two hours, treated myself to a lovely bunch of flowers and a delicious lunch ... and have just finished preparing tonights dinner.
So my day began early with a walk around where I live, it was very foggy still, but the morning felt very autumnal, as I walked you could hear the dew dripping from the trees and the birds starting to wake.
The dew was beautiful on the cobwebs in the Hedgerows ...
And on the barn ...
The fog was so thick ... there were no views to be seen ...
and my favourite oak tree just looked like a ghost ...
and the signs of autumn were all around ...
As I cam into town during my walk one of my favourite view cam into sight through the fog ...
I love this view, the old higgledy piggledy roofs and the church ...
I half expect the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins to come dancing over the roofs!
As the shops in town were not yet open I had to do a little bit of window shopping ...
Mmmmm cakes ...
And in another shop these pumpkins caught my eye ... mine aren't going to half as good as these!!
I strolled past the river ...
More autumnal treasures ...
Once home it was time for housework ... booooooo!!!
BUT ... today I took some tips from Claire at Thriftwood
So I set my timer for 2 hours ... and off I went following Claire's tips ... and thr results were amazing!!
Usually I am thinking that I will only do a little bit ... but the whole house from top to bottom is clean ... not spring clean clean ... but not the less CLEAN!!!
Beds are changed, cushions are plumped, carpets are hoovered, washing is drying, and I am one happy girl.
I even managed to take a bag of bits and bobs to the charity shop!!
Which while in town I discovered this book drop book ...
So once home ... and ensuring I followed Claire's tips to the letter I sat down with a cup of tea, a delicious sandwich admiring the fresh bunch of flowers I had just treated myself to as a little reward!
And I had also popped into the slow cooker lamb shanks for me and him to enjoy (hopefully, fingers crossed!!) for our tea later ...
And now begins my afternoon of crochet ... which I will share with you tomorrow!!
bye bye
