Unexpected Pleasures

Now the Autumn Equinox is here I am clinging to the end of summer and it is often the simplest food that keeps the feel good factor of warm summer days. My 'hero' food of this summer is nectarines, gosh there were some juicy ones in the Super U in France, gert big fat uns too. 

My favourite breakfast or pudding was chopped nectarines with Greek yogurt, simply delish!

It's not often you can just relax and enjoy pointless, directionless time with ones children. Mostly it is a routine of doing stuff, getting places, ensuring others are fed; but sometimes you get lazy hazy moments when you both do nothing but chuck a ball for hours on end at each other.

And this selfie was at the point after all the ball throwing and aimless interaction we came together in pure happiness. It is  a reflection of an unexpected pleasure. For once I am extremely glad of the rise of the selfie and the fact my iPhone goes everywhere with me.

How many of us can brag about Bank Holiday sunshine? For the second year in a row I have managed to find the UK hotspot of the final May bank holiday weekend. Last year I was in Berwick-upon-Tweed experiencing sun, sea and sand. This year I was in the homeland and basking in glory at first Oxwich then Langland Bay on the Gower.
