Simple Pleasures.

 I had forgotten how enjoyable listening to a book was. We listened to a lot during lock down.(remember that dreadful time?) We used to have a cup of tea and a piece of cake most afternoons sitting in our Summer house listening to a book. 

Listening to it together now brought back happy memories, we weren't dieting, and when it was summer time, we looked out onto our garden and we had our dog Nell. In spite of the awful things that were going on with covid, we were self isolating and we were together, so felt safe. And we really enjoyed listening to books..

 I'm so pleased I thought of doing it again. We had a lovely Sunday afternoon, listening to it together, Dh did the jigsaw that I started last year and has been on a board under our sofa for weeks months, I'm almost ashamed to say how long it was under there! No cake, we're on a strict SW food plan as Friday's  plan fell by the way side, so no room for any extras this week! 

Yes we made a lot of cake in lock down, we weren't learner or new bakers and we had a lot of cake making books.. did I ever say I gained a fair bit of weight at that time?? Well I might have done, oh yes I did! 

Its been lovely thinking back to that house in Suffolk and the garden, some happy memories, it always  seemed to be sunny!
