I feel a new calmness about me these last couple of days. The whole house feels cleaner, and brighter and fresher than it has for a while now. As if Mr Darcy had come through and saved the family from ruin and was about to say something incredibly exciting and thrillingly romantic.
My life isn’t suddenly filled with high tea and frilly bonnets (although macaroons were the main theme of the weekend) but if they were to abruptly appear it would all feel perfectly normal.
My days feel like:
Long walks in the almost, just about to, gosh I think it might, rain.
Those little things you notice which make you feel like an artist who see’s beauty where others see the ordinary.
And little girls who can smile again and forgive their sister for accidently whacking them in the head with a croquet bat, causing blood to go every where, a rush to the hospital and overly dramatic cries of “I don’t want to die”.
These pics were taken last week during the rains when life was crazy and hectic and it felt like a miracle that we could take just a few minutes away from the madness and mum could relax and not spend her days mumbling about caterers and makeup and lordy these things cost a lot of money.
I wish everyone that same calm feeling…right now…whether you like it or not!
