Today was one of those days when you feel grateful to be alive.
It was a beautiful summers day, and not a pseudo "English Summers day", but a good and proper summers day. It felt balmy and delicious, and the sun never stopped shinning.
I joined a bunch of other Totnesians in the local graveyard which overlooks Totnes, laying in the lush grass, reading my book and enjoying the sunshine.
In the afternoon I went for a walk on the the low Totnes to Ashprington path. I only saw one other person the whole time. There were so many butterflies, and swallows. The blackberries are starting to ripen, I ate one.
Hot and contemplating braving it, and having a swim in the Dart, I tried to make my way closer to the river, and inadvertantly found some stining nettle instead. Arr not a good feeling, but much better than the American poison ivy, which can be transferred by touching an affected area. Straight back home.
Delicious dinner of chips, sausages and baby spinach salad with Steve’s famous tahini dressing. Then serenaded Steve with some impromptu piano music.
