Jubilee Jubilations!


View from train - & r-e-l-a-x

Well - what a lovely weekend. 4 days long - hurrah for the extra bank holiday! Went to the south coast to visit friends in Devon. Had a lovely train journey through our green and pleasant land with days spent walking, chatting, laughing, drinking and eating. Saw Dartmouth, Teignmouth and Exeter. & lots of Jubilee Scarecrows... a v. Devon thing I think... UK weather was typically British on a bank hol. Rain mostly - especially in London for huge flotilla on Sunday but in our Devonian spot all was dry - bit chilly, slight slight occasional drizzle but no downpours. Lucky! Seems rest of UK got drenched...

Made me realise how significant food is. Social times revolve around it. Breakfast; mid morn coffee (pain au chocolat or not??); lunch - wine; sun - shandy & beers; dinner - wine plus nibbles beforehand. I am planning on avoiding these situations during LL period. How do you spend a weekend away shaking shakes and nibbling bars???

Anyway - home & feeling rested after lots of sea air and walking. Ready for work and counting down the days to my LL start. 11th June.

Nice wee Swedish proverb below...

'Fear less, hope more;
Eat less, chew more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Love more,
and all good things will be yours'
