Talk of anniversaries, and such
It has been a manic few days, but good ones nontheless. This weekend was our 2nd anniversary of meeting, and thus becoming a couple. It seems like only yesterday we met, and fell in love. How time flies, it's a scary thought.
The beloved got an extra day off work and we went to Corbridge, not very far from where we live. We spent a lovely few hours ambling about old shops. It is rare that one can find a perfumery nowadays, but they do have that very thing (which could be smelled before it was seen)!
The hedge in the garden is now also much neater, and has gone from about 7 feet to around shoulder-height. The difference it has made is enormous.
At the moment i'm trying to get the house looking better, and feeling cleaner. I washed all of the covers from the sofa at the weekend, and am eagerly preparing for Autumn's arrival (it is my favourite season) by airing the old French quilt that we have on our bed, and hoovering under the bed. It feels good to open all of the windows and let the cooling breeze into the house to blow away the cobwebs. Now is also a great time to turn on the boiler to make sure that's working, which i have been doing for 30 mins a day.
I'm off to finish my blitz of the house, then to relax and read a really good (but very sad) book called 'How Much of Us There Was' by Michael Kimball. Not for those who cry at the beauty of a field of daisies, nor anyone who is prone to hormonal bouts of wailing - it's likely to induce both :-D
